He’s gone by the names Alex Debel and Simon Storm, but his real name is Robert Kuehn, and he’s probably the last person who saw Laura Howard alive. Howard’s decomposed body was discovered inside her Moreno Avenue home May 5, 2013.
In the months leading up to her death, she had been letting Kuehn live in a spare bedroom in her house. She told a neighbor that he was going to help her do repairs around her home and needed a place to live.
“He had a whole story concocted, but investigators found out none of it was true,” said Trish Routte with Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers.
