The Desert Rose Key: Why a Stranger's Number Seven Cost a Life

A brass key stamped with the number seven and an orange diamond-shaped fob was found wedged between the driver's seat and the transmission hump of a dusty 1949 Ford on a dry Nevada lakebed - the car of a 22-year-old man who had never been to Mira Linda. Records showed the car's fuel gauge read empty despite a tank that should have carried it at least 300 miles, and a motel register later confirmed a Room 7 entry under "D. Edwards"; how did that key and that room connect to a dead man in a trunk?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries and documents that link a single key to an unaccounted detour and a short, fatal journey. You will hear how a records clerk's arithmetic and a motel proprietor's reply opened a new line of inquiry: did Duane Edwards stop at the Desert Rose Motor Court on August 9, 1953, and who else might have been involved?
Person: Duane Edwards
Date: August 9-11, 1953
Location: Painted Rock County dry lakebed, Nevada
Age: 22
Vehicle: 1949 Ford sedan (green)
- The brass key was stamped with the number 7 and attached to a diamond-shaped orange fob labeled DESERT ROSE MOTOR COURT, MIRA LINDA, NV.
- Duane Edwards left Provo, Utah on the morning of August 9, 1953, headed toward Barstow, California.
- The Ford was found on August 11, 1953, with Edwards' body in the trunk and the body estimated to have been there approximately 48 hours.
- The car's fuel gauge read empty though a 1949 Ford sedan typically carried enough fuel for roughly 300 miles; the lakebed was approximately 290 miles from Provo.
- Motel proprietor Agnes Tully replied within four days confirming Room 7 had been rented on the evening of August 9, 1953, with the register entry reading "D. Edwards."
