Morning everyone! I'm playing catch-up here, so forgive me if any of this has already been mentioned.
Article below states that the water tank Elisa was found in was 3/4 full. This confirms in my mind that she wouldn't be able to reach up and close the lid to the tank herself. If the tank was full to the brim, then maaaaaybe (but still unlikely I think). Also - WHY was the tank only 3/4 full? When her body went into the tank, did that cause the water level to rise so much that some water spilled out?
The article also mentions a person would have to climb up the side of the tank to get inside one of them. What about that platform above the tanks? There's a red ladder that goes up there...does that ladder usually have a lock over it?
And finally, the guest of the hotel interviewed mentions they had low water pressure for "days" - was Elisa not missing for about 2 weeks? This suggests she may not have been in the water tank the whole time.

So many questions. I feel like the more information that gets released to the public, the more questions I have.
The way these tanks work is that as the water level in the tank drops (from use) it doesn't maintain a constant full level. It has to drop down to a certain level before refilling occurs. So the fact that the water level was at 3/4 when Elisa was found doesn't mean that it was at 3/4 when she went into the tank (or was placed in the tank.)
