GA woman killed in North Myrtle Beach had $1k bank charge, shared room with accused killer
The Georgia woman who was allegedly killed in North Myrtle Beach might have had an “intimate” relationship with the man who is accused of killing her.
Bornold Eberhart, 42, has been arrested and charged with murder for allegedly killing Kristin Laymon, 53. He is being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center without bail.
Laymon was last seen alive getting on an elevator by herself on the ground floor of the Club Wyndham, 410 South Ocean Boulevard, at 2:12 a.m. on Sept. 23.
Laymon and Eberhart came to the Club Wyndham Ocean Boulevard together on Sept. 22, NMBPD Lt. Mike Swarthout said at a press conference on Thursday.
He said he does not think the pair was in a relationship but thinks they could have been intimately involved. They shared a hotel room that weekend.
On early Sept. 23, Laymon and Eberhart got into a fight. Layman got on the elevator alone later that morning. Detectives believe she was killed that morning.
Eberhart returned to Georgia on Sept. 24 and detectives believe he had Laymon’s body in the trunk of his car, according to The Sun News. Laymon’s body was found outside Atlanta on March 9. Her cause of death has not been released.
Laymon’s daughter reported her mother as missing on Oct. 9, according to police documents. She had not heard from her mom since Sept. 22 had not seen any bank activity in that time either. Laymon’s bank account was overdrawn, had a $1,000 bitcoin charge and Laymon had received multiple emails notifying her of the overdrawn bank account.
The Duluth Police Department contacted NMBPD on Nov. 8 about Laymon. Swarthout said Laymon’s daughter saw the charge for the hotel in her bank account and that led detectives to North Myrtle Beach.
