On an early October evening in 2013, housekeeping at the Royal Inn on Indianapolis’s west side found 23-year-old Michael Gilbert and 24-year-old Elizabeth Hagedorn shot dead in a motel room. Employees had last checked on the pair earlier that afternoon and discovered the bodies about 8:30 p.m.

The two deaths happened long before a separate, unrelated killing in 2023 that involved a different man named Gilbert; that later case is not part of this 2013 incident. Does anyone have memories, observations, or information from the Royal Inn or the west side of Indianapolis around early October 2013 that could help shed light on Michael Gilbert’s death?
