How big do they make those Rubbermaid containers?

Police thought they were handling a routine drug bust at a ritzy hotel until they opened a large container and found a woman’s body preserved on a bed of dry ice.

Acquaintances said Monique Trepp, a 33-year-old aspiring model, died a year ago and that her boyfriend, a convicted drug dealer, held a wake for her at the hotel where he lived for three years. Authorities said she had been dead “a while,” but released few other details.

Trepp’s body was found stuffed in a giant Rubbermaid container packed with dry ice in Royds’ executive suite, which goes for up to $400 per night.

Who is Royd?

Royd is the boyfriend-drug dealer:

The person who likely knows more, Trepp’s 46-year-old boyfriend, Stephen David Royds, made a cryptic statement from jail, where he’s being held on $1 million bail on felony drug charges and a warrant from a 2002 conviction for selling cocaine.

there is so much FAIL in that article…

1) she’s 33, and is an aspiring model… try has-been, or never was.

2) lived at a hotel for three years.

We have found today’s Failboat captain!

#3 AL Williams, Yes
From Article; Mike Smith, the property manager at Trepp’s apartment complex, said her rent checks bounced every couple of months and that she was working as a stripper.
“She was real cute, a blue-eyed blonde, a typical beach girl,” Smith said. “Whenever I talked to her, she was always going to get a better job and she was going to go back to school. She was always kind of running between the raindrops.”

Unbelievable that this druggie boyfriend lived in a $400/night room and bought inexpensive Rubbermaid containers…why didn’t he purchase Tupperware - the best of all plastics? Go big or stay at home!

Maybe he just liked a cold one once in a while….

But more than likely, she died of a drug overdose that he supplied and he could not figure out what to do with the body without the cops looking too closely at him.

Anyone hear the story about the woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for TWO years w/o once leaving the bathroom? She, along with the toilet seat, was transported to the hospital where they had to cut chucks of her skin off that had grown into the toilet seat. OMG. If this is true (and I have no reason to believe it isn’t), GROSS!! LOL

I’ve been trying to think of some funny statement about keeping his girlfriend on ice…… but can’t. Come on all ya’all funny people, there has to be a great one liner here.

I guess when he talked about his girlfriend being frigid…
