The memory card, which was labeled “homicide at midtown Marriott,” was given to police by the woman who found it, charging documents obtained by NBC affiliate KTUU in Anchorage showed. It had 39 images and 12 videos that recorded the alleged crime. 

The graphic videos show a woman being strangled and a man’s voice saying “just...die,” the Associated Press reported.
