    Death Fall Forensic - Can a body falling from 13.3m height land 3.5m away?

    The 3.5 meter distance was mentioned in one report without details. It seems correct or at least that distance judging from this photo below. The driveway is more than two car widths and the body was lying close to the far side of the driveway.

    Death Fall Forensic - Can a body falling from 13.3m height land 3.5m away?

    Thanks for your reply, @Lilibet I did do some research on falling and found this interesting article: http://seniorphysics.com/physics/AJP_V76(9)_falling.pdf It's quite technical, but using the rough formulae given, I calculated that the fall took 1.65 sec and that the man had to jump off at...

    Death Fall Forensic - Can a body falling from 13.3m height land 3.5m away?

    Hi. I have this nagging question from an actual case 11 years ago in 2009 at a hotel in Singapore. The circumstances in this case are very strange. A newly-wed bridegroom fell to his death just a few hours after the end of his wedding dinner. CCTV footage showed him leaving his honeymoon suite...

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    ^ No. 2 seems weakest to me given that she stepped out of the elevator and waited outside more than once and, at the end of it all, walked away.

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    Agree. Like many, I made the mistake too of assuming she was talking when she was making those hand movements. Then lately I realized that at no point does the video show her opening her mouth as if she was talking. There was only a smile that we could see. When she was doing that...

    Elisa Lam - What Happened?

    That's right. We don't know anything about her clothes. In fact it's not even confirmed whether she was found completely naked or even partially naked at all. As far as I can remember, the statement of her being found naked came from a Chinese video news report's commentary. After that, many...

    Hotel Cecil Rooftop Access Discussion

    Interesting observation. That photo struck me as odd/unnatural too the instant I looked at it, way before I read your post. Elisa's image just didn't seem to blend in well with the rest. But I don't know what to make of it. You seem to have something in mind. Care to share your thoughts? Thanks. :)

    Elisa Lam - What Happened?

    Interesting that right from the beginning, LAPD Teague said there was nothing to suspect foul play, and yet the case was getting high priority treatment. Also, he did not want to comment on the state of her hotel room or her personal effects. This strengthens my suspicion that investigators...

    Elisa Lam - What Happened?

    Most missing person cases locally are because they run from home and later found staying with friends or somewhere. But when a person traveling internationally on tour supposedly and who have been in daily contact with family goes missing, there is reason enough to suspect something untoward...

    Elisa Lam - What Happened?

    Next to Elisa's actions in the video, the physical aspects of the video itself are most puzzling. Firstly, LAPD released the video which is closest or close to the last seen of her for a higher chance of someone remembering seeing her before she went missing. I don't think there is any...

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    I don't see her talking when she was doing the petting motions. Everybody assumes she was saying something but I see no mouth movements at all. There was just that one smile she made before the petting motions. Besides, how do you explain to someone that the motion sensor is not working and the...

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    I read a post on YouTube some time back that said every 3s of the actual video was converted to 4s for the police video. Now I'm not sure whether the poster meant that this was a deliberate conversion or he was just stating his observation. The only reason I could think of why the police...

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    ^I've seen this video a while ago. Wonder if anyone can confirm what that white specter really is.

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    This is what I could gather from the Taiwanese program and from the Internet. The incident happened almost exactly 5 years ago in Taiwan on Jan 20, 2008. A 37 year-old woman came carrying her 4 year-old daughter to "Yuanlin Finance Building" that evening. Apparently this building leased out its...

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    I see it as her red sweater or whatever you call it bending out when she did that little "curtsy" bending her knees and lowering her body.

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    I can understand what you are seeing. I tried to visualize what you described but it didn't work for me. To me, it seems very like she leaned back slightly thus causing the skirt line to lower an inch or two. You can confirm that by looking at the top line of her raised arm. At that same moment...

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    The theory you referred to doesn't go with the fact that she came from the video left direction but poked her head out to see in the opposite direction, and later faced that opposite direction when she talked.

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    To me, it was just the sway of her skirt caused by a slight twitch or turn of possibly her right leg (which is hidden from our view). That moment was when she was just about to re-enter the elevator.

    The Elevator Video: What's your take?

    With respect, what makes you so certain she wasn't staying on the 14th floor? Correct me if I'm wrong, I read only one report that says she "reportedly" stayed on the 4th floor.
