Yes I know there are stairways on every floor but are they all in the same location on all the floors? I'm guessing yes but just wanted to know for sure lolI would assume that there are stairways on every floor.

Would you say the reverse video of her would be more accurate, timewise? I'm trying to watch the seconds on Youtube and the counter on the video.
Elisa Lam Video (in Reverse) - YouTube
Glad we're talking about time of death/rate of decomposition, because something's been bothering me for a while now. My personal belief, for cause of death to be accident/suicide, is that it needed to happen on 1/31 and the hatch needed to be open. But this is problematic for a couple reasons. LAPD searched the roof sometime after she disappeared, so why did evidence not lead straight to the tank? And smeizner visited the roof on the 7th I believe, so why didn't he smell anything? Even in cold water with slowed decomposition, 7 days is more than enough time for putrefaction to set in. Or the tank was closed and evidence of her on the roof was covered? So, I'm personally currently leaning heavily on foul play.
Based on the small, out-of-context photo of the postcard, it looked like it was something to do with the movie Drive and Ryan Gosling. I think "pilgramage" was just a colourful term for a little exploring around her celebrity crush/a movie she liked.
I just rewatched the video and it does, in fact, appear to be slowed down (someone mentioned this earlier). Track the seconds on the CCTV with the seconds on YouTube, and there's a discrepancy. The video is moving more slowly than real time.
The speed in the reverse video does seem much more accurate. I've got a loud clock in my living room, and I'm able to time the videos by listening to that and watching the CCTV, which is easier than watching two clocks at once, lol.
Could be LE slowed the video down so that we'd have a better look at her face.
She could have been placed in the tank alive on the 31st, and taken at least an entire week to actually die. If the hatch were closed, nobody would smell anything rotting. If it were open, and she died on day 6, it would be too soon for smeizner to smell anything.
I wish we knew if the hatch were open or closed. It seems LE's immediate claim that it could have been an accidental, not necessarily foul play, would indicate the hatch was open. A closed hatch would definitely indicate foul play.
If she was alive in the tank for a couple days, some urine or excrement might have been released. I wonder if they found any actual fecal content in the tank (ie, not just testing the water downstairs).
Amateur sleuths have honed in on the case, posting theories on websites about what might have happened to Lam. International media outlets, particularly in Canada and China, have also continued their coverage of the story.
Futzbucket, no I am not saying that putting the body in the tank would create an air bubble.
I am saying that the body most likely sank to the bottom of the tank and then the draw of water out of the outlet pipe pulled the body to block the outlet pipe.
But the use of water below in the hotel would continue to pull on the water that is already in the pipe below the blockage, thus creating a vacuum in the pipe below the blocked outlet.
This vacuum area or voliume would get bigger and bigger as the water continues to get pulled down the pipe below the blockage at the tank outlet, and eventually has to let go or be released, otherwise the pipes will collapse from the vacuum.
And it let's go with an extremely loud bang, and often with damage to the pipes in the area of the released vacuum.
Very loud noise and water leak, Mr. Diaz.
I read a post on YouTube that says every 3s of the actual footage is converted to 4s for the police video.
I assume this is done for the police to deliberately slow the video down to see more closely.
It is also released when someone dies due to the muscle's atony/relaxation.

With all due respect, I don't think Elisa was typing in a code that references bible verses. More than likely, she was pressing multiple buttons to get out of there as soon as possible. More and more, I think she was waiting for someone in the elevator to join her, and they didn't because of the cameras. They could have then convinced her to go up to the roof. Whether or not she was on the 14th or 15th floor, that would have been easy from either.
People have said that sometimes there are squatters in the maintenance room upstairs, maybe she hid out there and then met her death. I'm still having a hard time believing she ever made it into that water tank on her own.

Her disappearance is suspicious and may suggest foul play
