They suspected he had been killed in his sleep, bludgeoned over the head with a hammer as he lay wrapped in blankets. He, too, was likely sleeping when someone struck him repeatedly in the head with a hammer, police said. Detectives worried that both men were victims of “thrill kills,” random slayings carried out solely for the rush of taking another person’s life, as the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The Las Vegas Strip, home to most of the city’s gambling and entertainment fare, is several miles away. According to police, Schindler arrived at the scene around 3 a.m. and approached the mannequin three times before striking, as the Las Vegas Sun reported.
