Saturday marks the sixth anniversary of the death of 22-year-old Kelly Ann Balderas, whose body was found in a hotel room in the former Breeze Inn.

The hotel manager at the 900 E. Vine St. hotel at the time found Balderas' body when he went to check on her. Her friends reported to him that they had not seen her in three days.

There was no obvious sign of trauma on Balderas' body, according to police.
“We know that there is someone who has information on Kelly’s death,” Detective Cpl. Chris Succi of the Kissimmee Police Department stated in a press release.

“We need them to come forward so we can give Kelly’s family the closure they deserve.”

Kelly’s mother, Diana Bryan, will be at the address where her daughter was killed at 7 p.m. on Saturday to honor her memory.
