Episode description

Tonight, we dive into one of the most famous pieces of internet lore- the 2013 disappearance of Elisa Lam, which took the internet by storm with the release of the unsettling surveillance video from the infamous Cecil Hotel, which showed the last time she was seen alive, displaying behavior inside of an elevator which to some indicated she was being followed.  Elisa's body was found days later inside of of the water tanks on the hotel rooftop, an area only accessible by hotel staff.  The official cause of death was accidental drowning, but given what we know eight years later, was that really what happened?  Join us as we try and make sense of one of the most puzzling deaths from the last decade.
