"America's Got Talent" auditionee Joe Finley is in a bit of trouble in Los Angeles. The same day his wife Laura was found dead in a stairwell at the millennium Biltmore Hotel (Saturday, Oct. 23), Finley was arrested for drug possession and has been called a "person of interest" in her death, reports TMZ. Finley was fully aware his wife had been missing for several hours when he chose to go through with his "AGT" audition on Saturday. He tells TMZ he had "taken two ecstasy pills and Laura took one around 8:30 p.m. on Friday (Oct. 22) before they went out partying."
Finley says they eventually returned to their room at the hotel and went to bed. He claims he heard Laura get up at around 3:00 a.m. and leave the room -- he says he assumes she was getting ice.
When he awoke in the morning, Laura was still not there. Finley called hotel security, but left as planned for his 2 p.m. audition. He says police approached him on the way to the audition and showed him a picture of Laura's face where she was injured. He claims that at this point, he assumed she was dead, but then he went to the audition anyway.
Finley is claiming that his wife's death was "not an accident. Somebody threw her off that railing," (the railing being the rail in the hotel stairway). Finley claims the cops told him someone went to the front desk and requested a key to their room around 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, which is about 90 minutes before when Finley claims he last saw Laura.
It's all very strange. We'll let you know if we get any more information. We are definitely curious as to whether he'll make it far on "AGT" and if so, will this be included in some kind of on-air video package? "AGT" does love to do those.
