MEMPHIS, Tenn. (CBS/WREG) The body of missing woman Sony Millbrook has been found under a motel bed. Her body had been hidden inside a metal frame for several months.

On Jan. 27, Millbrook was reported missing to the Memphis Police Department after she failed to pick up her children from school.

Police were told by family members that Millbrook had been staying at the Budget Inn motel. Motel employees said the room had been locked with all of Millbrook's personal belongings still inside due to lack of payment.

Investigators were called to the motel room Monday due to a foul odor.

Police told CBS affiliate WREG that the room had been rented approximately five times and cleaned by the hotel staff numerous times since her disappearance.

Millbrook's boyfriend, LaKeith Moody, was questioned and remains a person of interest in this case. Moody was charged with an unrelated gun violation and is currently being held on a federal gun charge.

Anyone with any information regarding this case is urged to contact CrimeStoppers of Memphis at (901)-528-2274.

by ices1234 March 17, 2010 4:09 PM EDT: This does not make any sense. she has been missing since the end of january and the room has been cleaned and rented out 5 times since the end of january, the human body starts to decompose within hours after death. somebody should have smelled the rotting body. A decomposing body smell is so strong you never forget the smell. The smell would've traveled through the walls. Something is not right!; Reply to this comment
