(Florence, Ky.) - A Burlington man is accused of murdering a mother of three in a Florence hotel room.
Florence Police say 26-year-old Amanda Webster, of Cameron, Arizona, was found dead at the Home 2 Suites hotel on Woodspoint Drive on Saturday morning. The room had been rented to Jesse A. James.
Police found James, 32, on Saturday afternoon. Officers responded to the Rave Cinema in Florence just after 2:00 p.m. for a report of a man acting strangely.
