Strange But True: Toxic Lady, The Cecil Hotel, Farmhouse Murders

19 pÀivÀÀ myöhemmin, kun nÀin kuului, sisil pysyivÀt toimimaan. KysyjÀt katsoivat ja katsoivat. He nukkivat ruumiinsa, rauhoittivat vihreÀnsÀ ja syötivÀt tappia. Sitten kysymykset alkoivat. Varmasti vahvaa vettÀ, vettÀ, joka tuli kohdallaan, nukkuvaa, melkein vahvaa. KysyjÀt sanoivat, ettÀ se tuntui erilaiselta. Jotkut sanoivat, ettÀ se tuntui suurelta. Jotkut sanoivat, ettÀ se tuntui organiikalta. 19. februarista pÀivÀnÀ vettÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀntÀ

The Cecil had four large tanks up there, each holding a thousand gallons. He found one of the hatches open. He looked inside. Alyssa Lam was floating face up in the water. She was naked. Her clothes floated next to her, the same outfit from the elevator video, coated in sandy residue. Her watch and room key floated nearby. Her body had started to decompose. She'd been in the water tank for 19 days. The Cecil had about 600 guests during that period. Every one of them had been drinking, showering, brushing their teeth, and cooking with water from a tank

It contains a decomposing human body. The coffee shop had been making coffee with it for almost three weeks. Health officials issued a do not drink order after the discovery, 19 days too late. The tank was drained to remove her body. The coroner said she died from accidental drowning. Bipolar disorder was listed as a factor. There was no sign of physical trauma, no sexual assault, no drugs, no alcohol. It was an accident. That was the official answer. But there were problems with the official answer.

Open the hatch or got inside. The elevator footage has been watched hundreds of millions of times. Footage of Alyssa talking to someone. People still slow it down frame by frame, looking for a shadow in the hallway. A second person just out of the camera's view. A hand reaching toward her. They never found anyone. Then there were the coincidences. At the time of Alyssa's death, a tuberculosis outbreak was spreading through Skid Row, just a few blocks from the Cecil. Health teams were screening homeless people

walking distance of the hotel. The test they used to detect TB was called LAM-ALYSSA. The same name in the same order deployed within walking distance of where her body was decomposing in a water tank. In 2005, a horror film called Dark Water was released. Tenants of an apartment building noticed their water has turned dark and tastes foul. Someone traces the problem to a rooftop water tank inside the body of a young girl who'd been reported missing. The plot of a horror movie

played out in real life eight years later in the Cecil Hotel in Hotel Death. Accident, coincidence, a building with a body count. Nobody was satisfied with the official answer, but nobody had a better one.

Korona sanoi, ettÀ se oli yllÀttynÀ. Poliisi lopettiin tapauksen, ja tiedot tukevat sitÀ, mutta se tarvitsee hieman työtÀ, jotta se pÀÀsee siihen. TÀmÀ elokuvan kuvio on se syy, miksi tÀmÀ tapaukset tuli viralliseen. Se nÀyttÀÀ, kuin ihminen tullessaan jotain nÀkyvÀÀ. Mutta jos katsot sen, kun tiedÀt, ettÀ Alyssa oli bipoliittinen syrjintÀ ja se pysÀhtyi ottelemaan sÀÀntöÀ, se nÀyttÀÀ erilaiselta. TykkÀys, pysÀhtyminen, keskustelu mitenkÀÀn. NÀmÀ ovat systeemejÀ.

Psychomotor agitation, paranoid behavior, disorganized speech. The footage isn't a mystery, it's a medical event recorded on camera. The roof access is the other big problem. The doors were locked, the hatches on the tanks were heavy. A 115 pound woman getting into a water tank alone seems impossible.

But investigators found that the alarm on the roof door had been broken for months. And the fire escape gave direct access to the roof from outside of the building. No locked doors required. The Cecil was not a secure building. People climbed to the roof all the time. The hatch was open. The lid wasn't locked. She could have lifted it. And most of the photos of the roof make it seem impossible that Alyssa could climb into the tank. But there's one photo that people rarely see. Right next to the water tank was a ledge. She could have easily hopped from the ledge onto the tank.

She was on the roof taking pictures, we know this. Maybe she was trying to get a better view. Why were Alyssa's clothes off? That could be something called paradoxical undressing. Hypothermic people can actually feel an intense but false sensation of heat. They start taking off their clothes even though they're freezing to death. This is most often found in hypothermia cases. The water in the tank was cold. The medications in her system support the timeline. She's been taking her meds inconsistently. Bipolar episodes can escalate quickly when medication is interrupted.

Paranoia, riskitaitoja, muuttunut tunnistus vaikeuksista. Suomalaisessa talvella ei voida tarkastella sitÀ, ettÀ se on vaikea. Ei ole nÀkymÀttömyyttÀ, ei ole vahvistusta, ei ole DNA toisesta ihmisestÀ, ei ole seurauksia. Ei ole hotellin kameroista, jotka eivÀt olisi olleet siellÀ. Oikeuksia ovat vain oikeuksia. TB-testi nimi oli Lam Elissa vuosien ennen kuin Elissa Lam syntynyt. Suomalaisessa talvella oli jatkuva japanilaiskuva 1996. NÀmÀ asiat sopivat niin kuin asiat joskus tekevÀt.

when millions of people are looking for patterns. Maybe the coroner was right. A young woman in crisis, off for medication, wandering a building in LA. A building that's the worst place for someone to lose touch with reality. A building where serial killers walk the halls in bloody clothes and nobody looked twice. But the elevator footage is still out there. She presses the buttons. She hides in the corner. She talks to no one. The doors won't close. And then she walks away. This case is probably solved, but something about it doesn't sit right.

19 pÀivÀÀ sitten sydÀmellÀ sydÀmellÀ nukkuu hotellin vettÀ. 19 pÀivÀÀ sitten hotellit syövÀt haastavaa vettÀ. 19 pÀivÀÀ sitten kukaan ei kysy, miksi hotellin sydÀmellÀ ei syö.
