Person A registers room.
Person B is captured and locked in hidden room.
Person C re-registers room.
No body, no evidence.
DnD logic would specify that when the magic runs out, anything inside the room that doesn't originate from the same spell is forcible tossed and piled out the front door. Which can lead to some hilarious shenanigans when roleplaying.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar situation here.
In the White Cat series, there's actually a being who oversees all the 'pocket dimensions' used as storage space.
When the individual a given storage space is registered to dies, effectively their 'access code' is retired, and that space becomes available for reuse.
When it does get reissued, the contents of the room are lost forever; they just go 'poof', as it were.
The storage spaces don't get reissued all that rapidly; there's a period of time where it exists with the items stashed in it prior to being reissued, and the entity overseeing all of this sometimes says, "This item is neat, I'm going to toss it into some random other person's space."
Thus, sometimes stuff just miraculously appears within your storage space.
She also sometimes goes, "Urk. I don't want this to go 'poof', but don't want to shuffle it randomly into an existing space just now," so adds it to the space she dwells within until the proper opportunity arises to gift it to someone specific who would appreciate it.
Something like that, anyway; it's a long time since I was reading that series, I really should pick up where I left off sometime.
