Lilly was found completely naked and face-down on her bed. According to reports, sexual activity had taken place, with a condom found to be protruding from her anus. The detectives noted that a gravy ladle was found at the scene and on further inspection of the body, they realized her body had been drained of all of her blood. Police suspected the implement was used by the perpetrator to drink Lilly's blood. Various clients fell under suspicion, but after a lengthy investigation, none were charged with her murder.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gijG7fSwvjAC&q=%22Atlas+Vampire%22&pg=PA25|title=The Encyclopedia of Unsolved Crimes|last=Newton|first=Michael|date=2009|publisher=Infobase Publishing|isbn=9781438119144|language=en}} The murder remains unsolved.
