Victim Jessica Flood<br />

<p class="imageCaption">Two Burton, Mich., residents have been charged with first-degree murder and unlawful imprisonment after a body was found stuffed under a bed in a Michigan motel following complaints from a guest in the same room<br />
Burton residents Aaron Thornton, 30, and Leanne Harrington, 33, both were formally charged with murder on Tuesday. They are accused of strangling 28-year-old Jessica Flood of Flint in a motel room on June 20.<br />
Flood&#8217;s body was found hidden under a bed in the motel room on Monday &#8212; five days after she allegedly was killed &#8212; after another guest checked into the room and smelled a foul odor.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Police say they were familiar with the victim. They appeared in court this week and were denied bond.<br />
Separately, they are recovering from gunshot wounds in an unrelated incident linked to a drug deal gone bad.<br />
Court records indicate Thornton and Harrington do not have attorneys yet who could be contacted for comment.<br />
The Great Western Inn has been the focus of trouble for years, according to Mt. Morris Township Police Chief Terence Green. <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-295408" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Great-Western-Inn-Mt-Morris-Township-Mich.jpg" alt="Great Western Inn, Mt Morris Township, Mich.JPG" width="690" height="384" />The Great Western Inn [photo] has been the focus of trouble for years, according to Mt. Morris Township Police Chief Terence Green<br />
&#8216;I am investigating several deaths we believe were overdoses of young females and young males at this very exact hotel,&#8217; he told <a class="class" href="http://www.abc12.com/content/news/Plans-are-in-the-works-to-padlock-a-local-business-after-a-number-of-suspicious-activity-486641861.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ABC12</a>.<br />
