I saw in the paper about a girl found dead, beat to death. in a MV Hotel parking lot. Just a brief story but the thing that stood out was that she was 18 yrs old & from La Jolla. Sounds like a provider. Just a note to our providers...be careful

I thought that might be the case.
What I read was she was either hit by a car or was thrown or jumped off the balcony.

I'm thinking CraigsList, we've probably seen her picture a bunch.  My first thought was that she might have been a ROB and someone got pissed. Especially when you see the "tina" ads, that kind of anger sounds like a pissed tweaker.  Really a shame though, no one deserves that, though ROBs certainly come close.

You're correct in that no one deserves that.
She may not even be a provider.  Just the first thing I thought of when they said she was 18 and her motel room door was open.
Hopefully, the motel has security cams and they caught something.
