I don’t think there was anyone outside the elevator. When she initially walks into the elevator she doesn’t look in distress. I think she hides in the corner to see if there is someone holding the button. When she jumps out it sort of seems like a “got you” moment. When she realises there’s no one there I think the erratic hand movements is her trying to see if there was anything physically stopping the door from closing. She then looks frustrated , grabbing her hair and playing with her hands. The second time she gets into the elevator she presses heaps of buttons. She seems just as confused as to why the door isn’t closing as we are.

[@Emma-nuell]

Some elevators have a fence plus the door, the door wont close until you close the fence

[@TheKhopesh]

Some elevators have a hold button that staff use when they're loading luggage into/out of an elevator and it'll take a while. This is usually a feature on freight and staff-only area elevators, but some smaller hotels (or at least, ones that see less guest traffic) have the feature on their public elevators rather than putting in separate elevators just for the purpose. She probably pressed the hold button. These can delay the elevator for set time intervals (usually 1-5 minutes) or as an on/off feature (but those are pretty rare these days for safety reasons, and might not even be legal in the US anymore). She probably hit a delay button as she was going down the list.

[@michellecena8159]

Not an expert on elevators, but I assume that it stayed open simply because it operates by detecting motion. They are built that way in an effort to keep them from shutting while someone is still in the process of stepping in or out. Elisa repeatedly darted in and out of the thing the entire time she was there. As far as the elevator is concerned, it wasn't going to shut until she was out of the way, which is, probably, why we saw it abruptly do so as soon as she disappeared from view.

Okay, strange but consistent. However it changes again after 7 seconds 2:41 to 2:48. There is a light shift at 2:29 the frame after Elisa's foot exits view completely. There is also a light shift in 2:34. Again at 2:50. Now the elevator close. Keep you on the bottom panel. The first frame of 2:58 has a blur that you will be able to see in the bottom panel, the floor tiles, and the reflection of the top and bottom sections of the elevator wall. The second frame the door magically partially closed. The third and subsequent frames we aren't blurred anymore. Now, The open and closes. I believe that the last open and everything we before the door close are the same place. The first open after the door close at 2:58 is different than what we saw previously. Look at the wood, the length is different. Anyway, my wrist is in a lot of pain, i'm stopping.

She went to the rooftop, and saw the water tank as her hiding spot to protect herself.

Probably some employee took advantage of her inconvenience and took her to the terrace to abuse her upstairs, since there were no cameras there. She obviously tried to resist, but it was murderous. So, to stand as a witness, the clerk threw the body into the water tank (to get rid of fingerprints), his only mistake was closing the lid. In order for the hotel's image not to get ugly these days after everything that happened, the owner made an agreement with the police to stifle the case as much as possible, which is consistent with the edited videos and insufficient information, making it appear to be a suicide for bipolar disorder.

@@lrecklessl did you watch the Netflix documentary? Have you done some research? The police dogs had her scent leading all the way up to a fire escape that led to the roof. Elisa had a history of not taking her meds, and in the autopsy report there was hardly any in her system. I believed for the longest time that she was murdered but it’s most respectful to think logically. She was having a bipolar manic episode. She believed somebody was chasing her. During maniac episodes people experience being delusional and hallucinations. In the documentary it alway states that her family says she’s had breakdowns before, some that often led to her being hospitalized. As much as I love the paranormal accepts we can get into this case, we have to think actual logic here and not folklore.

In my opinion most probably Elisa suffered a psychotic break - this can happen even if she was taking her medication. She was afraid someone was after her, the small inconvenience that the elevator wasn’t working triggered her fear. Perhaps she tried to escape from the windows and reached the tab. My hypothesis is that the staff had accidentally left it open and then either closed the tab without paying attention that someone was inside or they were afraid of getting in trouble for leaving the tab open and decided to close it.

[@ryderprogram]

[@thenomad4123]

I think the official story is the truth here. She was having a psychotic attack. She thinks somebody is to out to get her, gets in the lift presses buttons the doors don't close. She thinks someone is out there that is pushing buttons causing the lift not to move. She hides and tries to see, then jumps out of the lift to catch him in surprise. Then she does weird movements because her distress goes up. Then runs to the roof and gets in the water tank to hide or falls in it, but can't get out. Removes her clothes due to hypothermia, and eventually drowns. It is a very sad death. Editing this comment for the many people asking about how she closed the lid: There are different reports if the tank was actually open or not, and a civilian later sneaked into the roof and recorded that half of the tanks were open so I am assuming it was open, or maybe was closed later by one of the staff.

[@jeremysmetana8583]

This is the exact behavior we saw at the emergency room when homeless people or the people down the street at the halfway house came off their meds or suffered a break with reality. They made all sorts of weird hand movements, spoke with people who were not there, and moved in obsessive-compulsive patterns and generally repeated tics over and over. What you're seeing here is not a person being pursued by a killer or a ghost or a person from another dimension. If there were another person threatening her, she would have run away. Instead, like a person suffering a psychotic break, she is alternating between paranoia and calm, wandering like she does not know where she is, repeating patterns, and fidgeting with her environment. It IS scary to watch. Psychotic breaks are VERY scary to watch. I know. But they are not supernatural, and they require no conspiracy or help from others to occur.

[@enzosenatore7245]

i understand that but how did she end it up inside the water tank? thats what i just m

[@jeremysmetana8583]

You can Google more info about this, and you'll find that employees at the hotel have revealed that the hatch to the tank is not heavy at all. There was a fire escape that provided easy access. It is very easy to imagine that in her altered state, she took her clothes off and climbed in. It would not be uncommon for somebody in this state to imagine they were overheated, covered in ants, just plain itchy for no apparent reason, or simply to be so dissociated they didn't know what they were doing, and climb right in. Her clothes were set aside, like she took them off and intended to put them back on. They weren't stolen or hidden. Why? Because there was nobody else there to steal or hide them.

[@jxo9284]

I definitely agree. That's what I figured when I read the story & learned she was on 4 different medications. It's definitely very scary.

Finally someone made this one. In the end this should be very clear, she was sick and took 4 different meds and her friend didn't want to sleep in the same room with her because of "odd behavior". But the tank part still makes me wonder, I mean for a person in this state to climb the ladder to the roof, and then to a 10ft tall tank and then jump in there without clothes on and then closing the hatch is way too fishy.

I am very sorry about your mom. I practically disagree with this theory alot, she was talking to someone or she was trying to do something. She looks like she is describing something. If she went into that water tank, how would she close it? There would have been bruises on how her fingers. Now, hiding a body in a water tank is a way to get rid of fingerprints. I think she was about to be sex****** assaulted. Assuming her state when found she wasn't though. Plus, if she had an epsiode you need to be specific. Did her family ever say she had such epsiodes for the 22 years of living? She was killed and we refuse to except this, it was a horrible death. If she went up the fire escape she was running obviously. It was most likely a former hotel staff from when she was staying. The police might already know but haven't revealed the info. If this had happened it was maybe two men. Relating to your theory if she had done so, the person who Left her body closed the tank and just left her there, or the tank top just fell magically.

Very simple. Her behavior is CLEARLY one of mental delusional breakdown of some sort due to taking some drugs mixed with her own medications. Or maybe she skipped her own medications for a day or few days. Police examination cannot tell EVERY kind of drug she took - especially after 2-3 fucking weeks of a decomposing body! The elevator doors do not close obviously cause she pressed too many buttons at once. This happened to me many times before. Or it can be malfunctioned. There is no one waiting for her there. this thesis is EXTREMELY stupid. The roof's door must have stayed open that night. The tank's hatch CAN be lifted by one person. CLEARLY her behavior shows that she jumped inside that tank without knowing what she really doing. CASE CLOSED. No ghosts, no other dimensions. No serial killers. This is plain stupid.

Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

She was possessed that explains all the odd behavior.. since she stepped in the elevator watch the body movement.. idk how to explain it but you can see whatever has control over her body doesn't have complete motion over the hands or feet, see how she drops her hands and they swing.. so she walks in and pushes all buttons ,then looks like she's hiding from someone.. if she was hiding she wouldn't walk back out there like she did . Then you see her step back and to the side .. that's not normal for humans to move in such way .. just watch the body language.

She was bipolar. She likely was suffering a psychotic episode and went to go swimming in the water tower.

Bipolar isn't even really a psychiatric disorders. The big pharma makes up mental diseases to have better control over population by having them take drugs and get them hooked. Yes there is some serious mental problems but most arent even real. This way the govt makes billions and billions each year and has more control. 🤨 Im bipolar and have met people who are bipolar . I personally don't take doctor prescribe meds . I medicate myself with weed lol. So what im trying to get to is bipolar isn't that fckn serious to have a episode that fucking weird.

Having investigated several crime cases, my guess is some of the hotel staffs manipulated the elevator's controls while others were stalking her, thats why she tried to hid at some points where the door wasn't closing, seeing that the elevator wont work she tried to reason with the staffs who told her to go with them, she has no other choice. Then after she walks to the left the staffs controlling the elevator shuts the door, they didn't appear in front so as not to be seen on the camera. Then they all gang raped her and dumped her body in the tank. They bribed the forensic not to report rape, according to wikipedia "The autopsy report and its conclusions have also been questioned. For instance, it does not say what the results of the rape kit and fingernail kit were, or even if they were processed.", when her parents filed lawsuit against the hotel , their statement was "The hotel argued it could not have reasonably foreseen that Lam might have entered the water tanks, and that since it remained unknown how Lam got to the water tank no liability could be assigned for failing to prevent that" , blant denialism. No one had access to the roof but the staffs, no one could have malfunctioned the elevator or cut out moments from the camera footage other than the staffs. Its a very common occurrence women getting raped, killed, their bodies dumped (and many cases in the water tank), these are all over the news..

Seeing this 11 years after it was published, It's so scary because im saying to myself that she was probably talking to someone in that corridor, but we won't ever know what that was, and the way the door didn't close while she was inside of the elevator, but then closes when she leaves...
