   The 60-year-old Michigan man charged in the death of   
   professional poker player Susie Zhao is a homeless sex offender   
   who met her at a motel the night before her charred body was   
   found, police said Wednesday.   
      
   Jeffery Bernard Morris, of Pontiac, was charged Tuesday with   
   first-degree premeditated murder from his hospital bed in the   
   death of Zhao, a 33-year-old rising poker star whose badly   
   burned body was found July 13 near the Pontiac Lake Recreation   
   Area, the Detroit News reports.   
      
   No evidence has been found indicating that poker or gambling was   
   in any way connected to Zhao’s death, White Lake Township police   
   Lt. Christopher Hild told reporters at a news conference   
   Wednesday.   
      
   “This is not the end of the investigation into Susie’s death,   
   but the beginning of the pursuit of justice for her and her   
   family,” Hild said, adding that investigators are continuing to   
   seek a motive in the slaying.   
      
   Morris is suspected of having met Zhao on July 12 at a Waterford   
   Township motel where she frequently stayed, police said, citing   
   cellphone records reviewed by local and federal investigators.   
      
   In 1989, Morris was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual   
   conduct in Oakland County Circuit Court, according to the   
   Michigan Sex Offender Registry.   
      
   He was arrested in the death of Zhao early Friday after being   
   pulled over on a warrant while driving west of Detroit in White   
   Lake Township, police previously told the Detroit Free Press.   
      
   Hild said Wednesday that Morris was taken into custody based on   
   unspecified evidence found by investigators. The transient man’s   
   last known address was in Pontiac, police said.   
      
   Zhao had stayed at the same motel several times in the month   
   leading up to her death, but it’s unclear how or if she had any   
   connection to or relationship with Morris, Hild said.   
      
   Morris, who remains held without bond, was still hospitalized   
   Wednesday, Hild said.   
      
   Hild declined to elaborate on Morris’ condition, but told   
   reporters he’s expected to be discharged soon and taken to the   
   Oakland County Jail, the Detroit News reports.   
      
   A judge has set a probable cause hearing in the case for Aug. 18.   
      
   Zhao, who was last seen alive by her mother on July 12, had been   
   living in Los Angeles, but moved to Michigan in June to stay   
   with her parents as she confronted “challenges in her personal   
   life,” friends have said.   
      
   Zhao, known as “Susie Q” at the card table, had raked in nearly   
   a quarter-million dollars in poker winnings since 2009,   
   according to an online poker database.   
      
   In her last WSOP event in 2017, Zhao took home $18,693 after   
   finishing in 697th place. Since 2009, Zhao won $187,441 at WSOP   
   events, including $73,805 at the 43rd annual World Series of   
   Poker main event in Las Vegas, where she finished in 90th place,
