So I definately want the sister to be dead... now what I am thinking about is how the brother finds the hotel. i have to give him definate clues through his visions which would relate to the real world and he ends up finding this hotel and then what happened to his sister. So in my screwed up mind I have to derive some inteliigent clues now :-)

Well, as far as intelligent clues go--it shouldn't be too hard to do. If he has visions of her drive out to the hotel, their would be distinguishing clues, landmarks, a twisting road, shops, gas stations, anything that could tip him off. If it is a rural area, it would be easier, seeing as all the motels and stores are smaller and unique.

Just don't give him a vision of an address. I always think that's too simple and lacks creativity.
