Mariah Qualls, 23, was found dead Dec. 9 inside the Golden Eagle Hotel at 402 Broadway, a residential hotel in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. A neighbor reported last seeing her two days prior.
Police declared the case a homicide, after the medical examiner determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head.
