A man accused of killing a woman by blunt force at a Colorado Springs motel made attempts to hide her body so he could “get away,” court documents show.

Officers from the Colorado Springs Police Department arrived at a motel on the city’s south side on the morning of May 20. Upon entering the room, the officers saw bloodstains on the bedding, floor and walls. A closer look revealed the body of 65-year-old Lauren Jensen-Green, who was wedged between a bed and a nightstand and was unclothed from the waist down.

Two days before the grisly discovery, records show Jensen-Green and a 60-year-old named Timothy O’Brien had checked in at the motel.

“Part of it’s the drugs,” O’Brien allegedly said to a homicide detective, which is documented in his arrest papers.

Investigators said O’Brien allegedly made a full confession of the crime, telling police that he and the woman met on a bus. That night, O’Brien and the woman stayed at the motel in the 1700 block of South Nevada Avenue, after he helped her get there, according to a police interview with the suspect.

O’Brien stayed at the motel with Jensen-Green for two days. Sometime during their stay, O’Brien said the two did meth.

That is when she started “ranting and raving,” which O’Brien said annoyed him.

“I was actually just trying to lay there and enjoy my high,” O’Brien allegedly told the detective.

She continued to yell, and he eventually “snapped.”

O’Brien, according to the arrest papers, told the detective that he grabbed a hammer from his backpack, walked over to Jensen-Green while she was laying down and hit her in the head several times before he smothered her with a pillow to “finish it.”

Investigators said there’s some evidence that suggests a possible attempt was made to clean the room, pointing to wet rags with apparent bloodstains that were found in the bathroom.

The next morning, O’Brien stayed long enough to tell housekeeping not to bother Jensen-Green because she was sleeping, according to his arrest papers.

“I didn’t want her discovered until it was time for checkout on the second day. I figured it gave me time to get away,” O’Brien allegedly said.

Police were first alerted to O’Brien by a roommate, who called police after hearing about the alleged act from the suspect himself, according to the arrest papers. The roommate told police that O’Brien confessed to the murder, though the suspect claimed that Jensen-Green came at him with a knife.

On May 25, patrol officers spotted a man who looked like O’Brien at a Maverick gas station in the city. Initially, the man identified himself as “Mark,” but officers later learned it was O’Brien after searching the law enforcement database. He was taken into custody soon after.

O’Brien reportedly had bandages on his hands and fingertips, injuries he said he got when he fell down an incline and scraped his fingers.

While taking his DNA at a local hospital, police say O’Brien brought up the homicide unprompted, allegedly saying “I don’t get why you want stuff that’s like sexual assault stuff because there was no sex.”

Police claim he further stated, “being accused of something I did is one thing, being accused of something that didn’t happen is something else.”

O’Brien is being held at the El Paso County jail on a $50,000 bond, records show.

Colorado court records show he is also facing kidnapping and aggravated robbery charges in another criminal case.

O’Brien made his first appearance in court on Monday. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 13, when a judge will decide if there’s enough evidence to proceed in the case.
