Cops say Lucidi checked into the Tsim Sha Tsui hostel on July 17 and was supposed to check out Sunday, however, he was last seen alive knocking on a penthouse window on the 68th floor of Tregunter Tower at about 7.30 p.m. on Thursday, South China Morning Post reported.

A frightened domestic helper was in the penthouse when Lucidi reportedly knocked and called police for help when she discovered the man at the window.
