Jacksonville Fire Rescue responded to Homewood Suites located at 8737 Baymeadows Road Saturday around 4 a.m. after they received a fire alarm call. When authorities arrived, they found two injured females.

One of the females, 28-year-old Jennalee Miles, was pronounced dead at the scene. JSO say she was stabbed five times. The other woman, who has not been identified, was stabbed more than 20 times. She was transported to the hospital in life-threatening condition...

Police arrested Chad Richard Hurst Saturday night at his home. He was charged with one count murder and one count attempted murder... The survivor positively identified Hurst as the suspect.

A social media "date" ended in a blood bath when a Florida man stabbed two women, one fatally, after arranging to meet them in a hotel room off the website Backpage.com, authorities said...

Hurst, who owns a landscaping company and is a father according to his Facebook page, was located at his home by text messages found on the victims' cell phones, said Butler.
 
"They did not know each other, they were actually strangers. They met on social media site backpage.
They decided to arrange a date at the hotel", said JSO Chief Assistant, Chris Butler."

Meeting on soc media site and arranging first date at a hotel room? One way to, cough, get acquainted, cough, for some ppl.

Sad, sad, sad.
 
This is like the 4th story that I read where 2 buddy-sytem females (via escort sites) have been killed while being on threesome dates. One guy killed 2 escort girls at the same time in his mothers basement. Crazy.
 
If they met at a hotel; Was this premeditated? Or did he think they stole from him or what? I would check his last escort dates to see what kind of John he was.
 
I know that in Florida; 2 naked teen females was found dumped near town in plain view. They were killed, dumped naked, and was believed to be in the escort line of work. Maybe these are connected.
 
How very sad :( thank goodness he's been caught before he could kill again
 
After looking at her FB page; You can tell her lifestyle atleast in 2012. She could have been in it even more deeper since then. Sometimes 1 person could be innocent while the other is the cause of retaliation. But still; they didn't deserve this.
Agree and it is a dangerous lifestyle. Thankfully the suspect is in custody.

MOO
 
Thus happened not too far where I work. Area is not a great area especially at night and on week end. Lots of crime goes on there. It's an easy get away jump right on interstate and be gone.
When this first come out some of the comments on one of the local news led me to look at the suspect FB and dig into it. Looks like IMO he cleaned it up prolly expecting to be caught. Seen an x posting after digging further and how people were telling her glad she got out when she did. Couldn't tell if the child she had was his or not.

Also a person commenting on the news site, worked near the crime scene could see from his/her work. Said it was a very bloody crime scene.

Sad, for the woman. Haven't heard how the 2nd victim is, if she is doing better or still the same.

What a terrible crime. And how did the 911 call come in-noise/disturbance? How did he subdue them both?
