I hear ya. But this is literally driving me crazy. There are so many pieces of this puzzle that do not add up or make sense, and frankly I don't have much faith in the police department's investigation.
I am trying not to think about the elevator video and instead examine the facts, or what we believe to be facts:
FACT: She told her family she was traveling through California on her way to Santa Cruz.
FACT: She checked into the Cecil on January 26th.
FACT: She ceased communication with her family by January 31st.
My questions:
Why was Santa Cruz her final destination?
Why did she stop in LA, and why was she using a borrowed cell phone?
If she lost her borrowed cell phone as she writes in her Tumblr, how was she making daily calls home? Payphone? Hotel phone?
If she lost her borrowed cell phone, whats up with the phone that police found in her hotel room?
If she posted on Tumblr that she was doing a "West Coast" tour, then they knew she was going to LA. She posted on her Tumblr with the dates. Friends have said on reddit that she was posting about her trip on Facebook daily and was excited about the trip. It is not a mystery that she was travelling, she even had a goodbye party before she took off. Let's stop perpetuating this myth that no one knew what she was doing.
She was traveling to Santa Cruz to participate in a farming program that has nothing to do with Supreme Master Ching-Hai. There are many of those kinds of programs that are very hippie-ish in Northern California. It is not unheard of at all. She was clearly troubled and looking for a way out of attending school.
She loses her borrowed cell phone and I imagine she could have easily bought a new phone at a drugstore OR she just switched to her Canadian phone. She likely just borrowed a friend's blackberry that was compatible with a US provider that had data accesible. As a female travelling alone, having data on your phone (for maps, and other info) is very crucial.
I have travelled to Canada many times and can tell you that roaming fees are outrageous and I either use Skype on my phone with Wi-Fi or bite the bullet and roam for a few minutes. I imagine Elisa did the same thing.
There are many puzzling aspects to this case, but the above is really not that complex.
