I've spent a bit of time speaking to this, and putting forward my experiences and that of my colleagues in regards to this. I am curious as to why you believe her to be followed and scared. Please review my previous posts for background reference if you'd like. And of course, I open this debate to anyone.
I appreciate your logical posts. Thank you for your input.
I read two reviews for the hotel that mentioned the "communal bathrooms and showers are located near the elevators".
Man, in that area of town, that just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Easy to grab or assault someone in a vulnerable state (showering) and then to flee. How many sex offenders live there or nearby? I will look on the Megan's law site soon to see.
I don't remember seeing this posted earlier:

This is an odd statement, suggesting the possibility she did suffer from a major psychiatric disorder. "Other organs" likely implies the liver and kidneys, which filter drugs and toxins, so this would be a routine toxicology test. It is the tests on Elisa's brain that would be unusual.
Besides rumors or a seizure disorder, as ànother poster mentioned, what can an autopsy of the brain discern?
Slipping into the hotel water tank? Did you not see that thing? It's a hell of a feat to even get atop those things let alone take off the lid and get in.
I think if it would be hard to get up there and get in, it would be harder to get up there dragging a body, dead or otherwise.
Elisa got up there. Whether by someone else's Power or her own. So we know it is possible.
Posters are still referring to the sighting of Elisa on the street corner, and I’m interested in the rationale as to why anyone is considering that a credible sighting. The ”sighting” was posted on the net Friday, Feb 15. The poster said it was the previous Saturday, which would be Feb 9.
Where do you think she was from Jan 31 to Feb 9, and how do you think she ended up back in the water tanks at the Cecil without anyone seeing her there?
On the street wandering, in another hotel, or with someone else in their residence.
Some random thoughts..
Pre Oscar time must be a nightmare for the hotel and the "water scandal" although the scandal is really about how a young tourist ends up deceased, in a hotel water tank.
Would someone "foul" water in that way as revenge against the hotel, or possibly to sue them?

"People who drink or bathe with water that’s been contaminated by a corpse are more likely to experience psychological effects than physical illness. Learning that you’ve inadvertently been in such indirect yet intimate contact with a dead body could be traumatic, and it may cause anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder, both of which are treatable with psychotherapy or antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication"
I don't know. There are so many criminals and predators and drug addicts around there, its more likely Elisa encountered a bad person by chance.
The Cecil is about 17 minutes away by freeway, from the academy awards. It's not in Hollywood. Its also kind of a junky hotel. I'm guessing people going could find a similar hotel closer to the awards.
Good morning. Is anybody else really frustrated that LE is so quiet in regards to a perp? The media here is really playing the mental health issue. Why the autopsy on the brain?
I don't think she got in the tank herself! The opening seems so small. I noticed looking up this morning while in my parking lot next to the cecil that the bottom of the left back tank is cut out, at least 3-4 feet of a square hole. You would be able to see someone on the top of that tank looking up on the sidewalk on main. LE doesn't even seem to be asking for witnesses.
I have no doubt that LE is on this. They have likely questioned everyone there, employees, canvassed the streets, etc. Anything we can think of they can and will do. They could be questioning a perp right now.
As to playing the mental health thing, Elisa Lam apparently has a significant history of mental issues and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a mental health professional to say she is acting in a manner that doesn't suggest a break from reality. It's kind of a little bit logical , IMO, to suggest something was hapening to Elisa mentally, around the time she died or was murdered.
I'm resisting, but tempted. The Cecil has always freaked me out. If LE doesn't start talking I may start investigating. (Kidding) really though, the energy in these buildings is very negative. I've felt it in the Alexandria and I'm sure the Cecil would creep me out. You can feel the death. LA feels like a film noir.
Anyway, point is, that tank is very visible from main. And if enough of you convince me, maaaybbeee ill go in and take a pic for you. Even though I think there's a perp in that hotel. Freaky.
I debated going myself! But I'm sure NOW security there is paying attention and wouldn't let us in!
