Revisiting One of the Most Bizarre Suicides of All Time

On September 16, 2001, a young man checked into a motel in Amanda Park, Washington under the name of Lyle Stevik.

The following day, Stevik was found dead in his room. He had used his belt to hang himself in a closet and left a note that simply read “suicide.”

Although after 17 long years the real identity of Lyle Stevik has been finally uncovered, the true horror and mystery are still hiding inside Room 5.

True Crime Magazine’s Behind the Tape Photobook features nearly 40 exclusive GRAPHIC shots taken inside the infamous Room 5 on the day of Lyle Stevik’s suicide, as well as nearly a thousand more crime scene photos.
