Note, Rat Poison Found In Teens' Hotel Room

EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. -- A suicide note, rat poison and marijuana were among the items found in a hotel room occupied by a teen couple suspected of killing the girl's mother.

Tylar Witt, 14, and her boyfriend, Steven "Boston" Colver, 19, were captured last week in San Bruno. They're accused of killing Joanne Witt, 47, at her home in El Dorado Hills.

A search warrant of the Holiday Inn Gold hotel room in San Francisco was returned Tuesday. Some of the items police found include two purple bowls with cereal and rat poison, about 5 grams of marijuana, a marijuana pipe and a suicide note that said, "You will find us together, dead on a beach..."

Police in San Francisco found the teens' car in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood, and the pair was arrested after a manhunt in the Bay Area.

Condoms, a Rubio's apron, a nametag that said "Boston" and a "Donnie Darko" DVD were also found inside the hotel room on Van Ness Avenue. Colver's Facebook page said he worked at a Rubio's restaurant in Folsom.

Police believe the teens used a knife to kill Joanne Witt, whose body was found June 15 inside a home on Tattinger Court.

A statement from a detective said Joanne Witt was stabbed in the neck. She had cuts in her shirt consistent with stab wounds, her upper torso and face were covered in blood, and there was blood on her legs. A blanket was draped over her head.

Vincent Catapano, Joanne Witt's boyfriend, reported her as a missing person on June 15, the same day her body was found.

On Monday, Tylar Witt waived her right to hear the juvenile petition filed against her. The judge told Witt she could face 25 years to life. He ordered her to stay in custody of probation in juvenile detention.

Colver pleaded not guilty to murder charges on Monday.

A group of classmates of Witt and Colver, who both attended Oak Ridge High School gathered outside the courthouse on Monday. Some people described Witt as "self-centered." Another teen, who said he hadn't talked to Witt in a year or two, said his younger sister broke off a friendship with Witt.

"I know her mom loved her a lot and she just tried to do everything for her," classmate Joey Pacific said. "And Tylar just did not appreciate anything that her mom did."

Meanwhile, Kellyann Conway, an acquaintance of the victim, said Tylar was loving toward her mother and saw her "smile at her, laugh with her."

Witt's MySpace page details her changing moods. On June 9, Witt wrote, "I am the happiest person in the world... even though I'm surrounded by hell, I'm in heaven."

She also blogged, "and wen i brake down crying bcz im so lonely or i get in a fight with my mother.. and theres no other comfort in the world i can turn to.. "

Joanne Witt took steps in the past month to seek statutory rape charges against Colver, sources said. In addition, Tylar Witt was recently arrested on charges that she assaulted her mother.
