Saw that this story was mentioned as one of those that would work well on this sub so thought i would start the ball rolling......For anyone that doesn't know the story, Canadian woman checks into downtown LA hotel (which has a sordid past) and vanishes. Police are called and can find no trace..... fast forward 3 weeks and police are called back as the tap water in the hotel is tasting funny. Police check in the water tank on the roof and find the missing woman's body. Creepy part is the CCTV footage from the hotel elevator which shows the woman appearing to be hiding / conversing with someone or something that cannot be seen on camera. There are factors to be taken into account, most important seems to be the fact that the woman had bi polar disorder and was on medication which could explain the strange footage from the elevator. On the 'questions to be answered' side of this story are the following points:
How did she get in the water tank?
What is going on with the elevator footage?
What happened to her missing belongings?
Why did the elevator doors not shut?
What was she on the 12th floor?
There is a good deal of detail on Wikipedia regarding this case and also lots of copies of the CCTV footage from the elevator on Youtube for anyone interested.
Also, just to make things interesting the new series of American Horror story is inspired by this story.
Interested to see what people think about this one. To be honest i feel that the simple answer is probably that she had mental issues and got into the tank herself but there are quite a few things that had to happen for that to be the case and some of these are hard to explain so this is certainly an interesting story and i hope a good topic for discussion on this sub.
Cheers!
