They Sentenced a Man to Death - But There Was No Body

A motel night clerk vanished into blood and a maroon car; the lobby register was emptied while Ricky Ellsworth’s purse, wallet, driver’s license and cash remained untouched. How did a spotless identity and an open security door become the center of a murder case with no body and a man later sent to death?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the crime scene details, witness sightings, and the connection to a released convict named Michael Rimmer as the investigation unfolds - and ask whether the physical evidence and those last minutes at the counter can explain what really happened to Ricky.

Person: Ricky Ellsworth
Date: February 7-8, 1997
Location: Motel lobby and back bathroom, Memphis, Tennessee
Person: Michael Rimmer
Witness observation: man with blood on his knuckles and a maroon four-door car with trunk open parked at the curb at approximately 2:15 a.m.

- Ricky Ellsworth was last seen at the front counter at 1:15 a.m.; a different couple found the desk empty about 2:30 a.m.
- Ricky’s purse was found undisturbed on a shelf with wallet, credit cards, driver’s license, and folded cash inside.
- The security door between the lobby and back office was standing open with no signs of forced entry and was keypad-controlled.
- Crime scene found running sink, a flashlight inside the basin, toilet tank lid torn off with broken porcelain brackets, and wet blood-dark sheets pushed into a corner.
- Michael Rimmer did not show up for work or collect his paycheck in Mississippi on Friday, February 7, and left his tools behind.
