In 1938, a night out at Orlando’s Friendly Bar beneath the historic San Juan Hotel would end in a deadly mystery that still has no answers. Dolores Myerly met Robert Etty at the bar and invited him to Room 206. She drank a whiskey shot he offered her, and she was dead within minutes. The lethal bottle passed through three men’s hands before it reached her, from George to Donald to Robert. Each pointed the finger at the last. A local doctor admitted on the stand to giving private investigator George Coston the potassium cyanide that killed her. Only George was convicted. George Coston died in prison in 1942, taking the one answer everyone wanted to know, “Why?” with him to the grave.
