The final words — “We’ll be there soon” — now hang heavy in the air as investigators work to unravel the heartbreaking deaths of Addi Smith and her mother, Tawnia McGeehan, inside a hotel room in Las Vegas. What was meant to be an ordinary visit to one of America’s most vibrant cities has instead become the center of a deeply troubling investigation marked by unanswered questions and haunting details.
Authorities confirmed that the two were found unresponsive inside their hotel room after concerns were raised when they failed to check out as scheduled. Emergency responders were called to the scene, but both were pronounced dead shortly thereafter. While officials have not yet released a definitive cause of death, they have emphasized that there were no immediate signs of forced entry, shifting the focus toward what may have unfolded privately in their final hours.
Central to the investigation is a text message believed to have been sent shortly before their deaths. The message — “We’ll be there soon” — was reportedly sent to a family member or acquaintance, though officials have not publicly disclosed the recipient. The timing of that message is now critical, as detectives attempt to reconstruct a precise timeline of events leading up to the discovery.
Even more striking is the discovery of a short handwritten note reportedly left inside the room. According to sources familiar with the case, the note was written in red ink and positioned where it would be easily seen. While authorities have not revealed its full contents, they have confirmed that both the text message and the note are being carefully analyzed for clues about intent, state of mind, and possible external influences.
Investigators are reviewing hotel surveillance footage, electronic keycard records, and digital communications to determine whether anyone else entered or exited the room during the relevant timeframe. Toxicology reports are pending, and law enforcement officials have cautioned against speculation until forensic results are complete.
For friends and relatives, the shock remains overwhelming. Social media tributes describe Addi Smith as bright and compassionate, and Tawnia McGeehan as a devoted mother whose life revolved around her family. The idea that their final moments may be captured in just a few written words has only deepened the grief.
As the investigation continues, authorities stress that every detail — no matter how small — could prove significant. The message, the note, the timeline — together they form pieces of a puzzle that detectives are still struggling to assemble. Until more answers emerge, those last four words remain both a farewell and a mystery.
