A 33-year-old Key Largo man was arrested Tuesday for the murder of a 43-year-old Upper Keys woman who was found in a resort hotel room.

Dylan Lamb was charged with murder.

The sheriff’s office responded to the Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo at approximately 11 a.m. Monday regarding a missing person identified as Nadyne Marie Tillman, 43, of Key Largo. A family member reported she had not heard from her since Saturday morning, which was unusual.

The sheriff’s office investigation showed Tillman met Dylan Lamb, 33, of Key Largo, at the resort on Saturday morning. Tillman’s body was later found hidden in Lamb’s room thereafter with injuries consistent with being beaten.

Lamb was found and arrested Tuesday in Key Largo.

“I want to thank the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office for working around the clock to make an arrest in this case,” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay, “While the investigation remains ongoing, there do not appear to be any other individuals involved in this incident.”
