This was when the mystery of where she was was solved, but it led to more questions needing to be answered. However, the police said she was found with the tank closed and it further speculated that something quite more sinister happened to Elisa Lam. Elisa had been in that water tank for 19 days. Inside, he found Elisa Lam naked floating face up and her clothes were floating at the bottom. Santiago went to the water tanks to check to see what was wrong and it was there that he found one of the water tanks with the flap off. The employee who checked was Santiago Lopez. Eventually, Amy had a maintenance check to see what was wrong. They complained about the water and the smell. They talk about their stay at Cecil which was a little after Elisa was there. They imply it was edited and slowed down making the speculation that something terrible happened to Elisa and there is this major cover-up.īy the end of the episode, a couple, Michael and Sabina Baugh, are interviewed. John and many other web sleuths break down the video footage. He started his YouTube channel because of the video footage of Elisa Lam that was put on the LAPD website. One of them that stood out to me was John Lordan. In this episode, we hear a lot from YouTubers, web, and internet sleuths. It mentions how the Cecil Hotel not only provided cheap hotel rooms, but also cheap rooms for people to stay for months/years at a time. They talk about when it was built and how its history made it try to change its image a bit. The episode starts with Amy Price giving some background information about the Cecil Hotel. Screenshot of Elisa Lam Elevator Footage Episode 2-“Secrets of the Cecil” Creeped out, uneasy, and sad for Elisa Lam. The end of the episode made me remember what I felt when I first saw the video. This was the last time she was ever seen. By the end of the episode, they show the infamous video clip of the elevator footage of Elisa Lam. The manager of the Cecil/Stay on Main Amy Price and LAPD homicide detective Tim Marcia. They talked to the hotel staff and there was no trace of her. They went to her room to see if anything seemed odd, but it didn’t. Once her parents did not hear from her, they filed a missing person report and several detectives went to the hotel. She did until the day she disappeared which was around February 1st. The episode talks about Elisa Lam’s parents not wanting her to go alone, but she promised to speak to them every day or check in with them. They mention Elisa Lam going to a bookstore called The Last Book Store. She decided to do a tour of Los Angeles, where she ended up at the Stay on Main which is in the same building as the Cecil Hotel. They explained how Elisa said on the blog that she hadn’t enjoyed her life yet and wanted to do something fun, but on her own. This was something that bothered me greatly, but we will get back to that. There are some quotes from her blogs and there is a girl reenacting moments that were supposed to be from her life as well as doing the voiceovers. Skid Row impacted by crime and homelessness. In the first episode, we get some background on LA’s Skid Row. Another serial killer named Jack Unterweger stayed there as well in 1991. Elizabeth Short aka The Black Dahlia stayed here in 1947 before she was brutally murdered. Some of the guests were the notorious Richard Ramirez. There have been suicides, deaths, and serial killers who stayed here. The hotel has 700 guest rooms and 19 floors. The hotel was later renamed Stay On Main to try and distance itself from the dark history surrounding the hotel. It was supposed to be a destination hotel for tourists and business travels. The hotel was built by Robert H Schops, William Banks Hanner, and Charles L. Main Street, opened on December 20, 1924. The true-crime fan in me wanted to know so bad what had happened to poor Elisa and why she was found in such a weird place. As a big horror fan, I automatically thought it was some kind of strange paranormal incident as the Cecil Hotel is riddled with a shady past. I was watching the news and saw the infamous video from the elevator where Elisa Lam was pressing several buttons and acting strange. I remember the first time I heard about this case. She went to California alone for the first time which ended with her death after she was found in a water tank at the Cecil Hotel. Mental illness was something Elisa struggled with and blogged often. Elisa then started Nouvelle-Nouveau on Tumblr about two years later. She had a blog around 2010 called Ether Fields on BlogSpot. Outside of being a student, she was a blogger.
