5 Deeply Unsettling Theories About Elisa Lam’s Death Solved
What really happened at the Cecil Hotel that night?
In February 2013, the guests at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles began to complain about their tap water. They said that the black water tasted repulsive and seemed to be highly contaminated. A hotel worker went up to the tanks on the roof to check what the issue was, and that’s when he found the body of a woman, floating facing upwards.
This woman was 22-year-old Elisa Lam, a Canadian tourist who had been in there for not 1 or 2, but almost 3 whole weeks. Elisa had gone missing since January 31st, and the perplexed LAPD released some disturbing CCTV footage that went viral. This was the last time Elisa was seen alive, and the global population was in a frenzy over what could have happened.
It has been 8 years now and with Netflix’s documentary ‘Crime Scene’ on the Cecil Hotel’s mysteries, this case is once again in the spotlight. Only this time, we have a much clearer answer as to what happened and what didn’t. Here are the 5 most popular theories.
