Corpse found in L.A. hotel's water tank.......update history of Hotel

There is a surveillance video where she seems to be under the influence of something as she apparently walks, unsteadily and alone, into the elevator which I assume took her to the top of the building... She walks on top of the building and then falls into the tank...

Uh, why would the water tank have an OPEN top? What you say makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, if it were open, you'd have problems with birds getting into there for starters(H1N1, birdshit, dead birds,etc).

the Cecil Hotel has a creepy history



The Hotel Cecil

The 1927 Hotel Cecil is a downtown landmark (and happens to be part of Pantless Alley). Now it is branded as "The Premier Choice of Affordable Downtown Los Angeles Hotels." In addition to offering hotel rooms, it houses the modern Stay on Main hostel and roughly 300 low-income residential units. Now, it is full of convention attendees and tourists from all over the globe. It has also been the site of quite a few commercials and movie filmings this year. But, before the re-gentrification of Downtown Los Angeles, the Hotel Cecil held a dark part.
According to the Los Angeles Times, in 1962, a woman leaped to her death from the Hotel Cecil and in doing she also killed a pedestrian on which she landed. Two years later, the Pershing Square "pigeon lady" Goldie Osgood was raped and killed in her room at the Hotel Cecil. Her case remains unsolved.

According to LA Observed, the Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short, is alleged in at least one book to have hung out at the Hotel Cecil and drank at the bar next door before she disappeared in 1947. But this "fact" is disputed by cultural historians Kim Cooper and Richard Schave of Esotouric.

In 1985, when rates were as low as $14 a night, Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker" lived for several months in a 14th floor room of the Hotel Cecil. After being caught and arrested, he was convicted of killing 14 people throughout Los Angeles. He is currently on death row in San Quentin State prison.

Austrian Serial Killer Jack Unterweger stayed at the Cecil Hotel for five weeks in 1991 while murdering prositutes. At night, Unterweger welcomed the hookers who climbed up the Cecil Hotel's fire escape to his room to earn $30. He also picked up streetwalkers on 7th Street, strangled them with their own bra-straps, then dumped their bodies nearby, naked and posed obscenely. Police suspect Unterweger scoped out the sites ahead of time. He committed suicide after being convicted for several murders.

The Hotel Cecil and Downtown's Historic Core have an equally dark and seedy past stemming from the early 1900s when the area was a mix of those down on their luck hoping to strike it rich in Los Angeles and wealthy businessmen. Downtown's storied past adds to its character, mystic and romance.

Here's another possibility you won't hear on a conspiracy forum....

The girl entered the elevator relaxed and cheerful, mischievously pressed 4 floor buttons, which indicates that there was another person who was about to enter. After waiting a while, nobody came in, the the girl hid in the corner of the elevator hoping to give the second party a scare. Judging from the way the girl playfully and flirtatiously hopped out, the second party should be a man with whom she has an intimate relationship with. The reason for the elevator door remaining open is because this man was pressing the button outside. Although the girl opened her arms to express her dissatisfaction, she at last changed her plan to go down, and returned to the hotel room with the man. The elevator door closed and it went down, opening and closing its door at the floors on which the buttons were pressed, operating normally.

Reminds me of the time in the 60's we found several dead rats in my family's spring water tank. The water tasted worse than horrible.

This, no?

Yes, this is very messed up. AC ...141 why is nobody looking at this? [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Look at this search result for above.

This makes a lot of sense. And if she was having fun with some strange man, they may have found their way up to the roof. She may have been attacked up there by him, and then the stranger dumped her little body in the tank.

She could have been drugged by this stranger, making her easy.

GLUB....GLUB....corpse waters goooooddd.....

cnn said they only tested for 2 kinds of bacteria,
then called it "safe".

A more horrifying thought - what if she was sexually assulted by someone with HIV, then thrown in the tank? I hope the post mortem examination ruled that out. Meanwhile, people drank and showered in that water. They should have definitely run more tests!

Elisa Lam is from Canada. Can any of our Canadian friends look into her being a real person? We can't believe CNN merely saying she was in the water tank.

The couple from the U.K. didn't sound too upset.

And this search result all by itself is weird too.
Scratch that, now there's a 2nd result.
