Part 4, Chapter 39 Summary: “Jasmine: One Day After the Flight”

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death and cursing.

Jasmine uses the keycard that Trent gave her to sneak into his room. She takes a razor, a small pair of scissors, and a monogrammed handkerchief from his closet. While searching the bathroom for hair, she finds the towel that Trent used to masturbate and takes it back to Stephanie’s hotel room. She smears the contents of the towel onto a pair of her own underwear and a pair of Stephanie’s underwear in order to convince police that he had sex with both of them. She cuts Stephanie’s hair and pulls out some of her own to plant in Trent’s belongings. Jasmine returns to Trent’s room and plants the hair and her blood in his suitcase and the underwear in the pocket of the suit he was wearing. She copies his flight information in order to follow him to Atlanta.

After planting the evidence, Jasmine wheels Stephanie’s body out of the hotel in a suitcase and dumps it off a bridge into a deep lagoon. She plants Trent’s keycard and the monogrammed handkerchief at the site. On the way back to the hotel, she withdraws $3,000 from Stephanie’s bank account.
