Nina Cortez had no idea that after coworker Kevin Blohm brought her coffee yesterday morning, it would be the last time she would see him alive.
Cortez arrived at the North Point Inn just before nine a.m. She has done the bookkeeping at the Inn for seven years. When she arrived, she noticed a car in the parking lot that she didn’t recognize, but didn’t think much of it.
After chatting with Blohm, a cook at the North Point Inn, shortly after she arrived, Cortez went through the previous day’s revenue. It was then that, according to her, “a man came around the corner, carrying a knife.” She described him as being around 6 feet tall, in his early 20s, and having a medium build. He was wearing blue jeans, a blue plaid shirt, and blue tennis shoes. He was wearing a scarf to cover the lower half of his face.
Fortunately, Cortez was left unharmed. The robber “just took the money and walked out.”
Cortez said that she did hear the voice of another man, and a few minutes after the money was stolen someone tried to get into her office, but she had locked the door. Several minutes later, the police had arrived.
On the way out of her office she saw Blohm’s body on the floor of the hall. He was dead and had knife wounds on his chest and hand.
