Hello! I am sorry I am so late commenting on this case, but I literally just found out about this story yesterday. Needless to say, it has already consumed me and I spent the entire day (not that I had anything better to do haha) reading comments about this case and watching the video over and over again. It is a quite a chilling video and I just want to express me thoughts, even though they may be redundant in terms of what has already been posted here.
In no way, shape or form do I believe Elisa was under the influence of anything in the video nor do I believe she was suffering some mental episode. I can see why it is easy to assume that since we cannot hear anything that is going on in the video or see the other person (and I 100% believe there was someone else there). I have a couple things that stand out and I hope this doesn’t come off as disjointed.
From her entrance and overall demeanor on the elevator, I get the impression that she had encountered some issues prior to this particular video. Maybe someone harassing her or maybe someone trying to be friendly with her, yet she felt uncomfortable with the person. I also think it is possible that she just had an encounter with the person before entering the elevator and possibly told him off and/or told him to leave her alone, in which the person retreated, or at least she thought the person did. Notice the elaborate way she raises her hand to push the buttons when she first enters; it is very confident and almost a sign of victory like “I told him!”.
However, it is obvious she hears a noise—possible the person saying something uncomfortable to her from the hallway. Why else would she cower and hide? I doubt she is doing it for the heck of it and at that point I do not believe she looks to be playful. I also agree with the notion that the person who was harassing her knew there was a camera in the elevator and knew to avoid it. At some points in the video, I think it seems Elisa is trying to lure him to the elevator or to step closer to her because she also knows there is a camera. I get this impression from her standing immediately to the left of the open elevator when talking to the person—she knows that if he wants to “get” her he will have to cross the open elevator and the camera. She is frustrated that he will not leave her alone and there is an obvious change in her demeanor when she enters the elevator the second time and frantically pushes the buttons again. She steadies herself like she was just told something disturbing. As far as her getting off the elevator the final time, maybe the person threatened her or maybe acted like they went away. I dunno. The video has been haunting me and I have watched it numerous times and again, do not at all get the impression she was under the influence or suffering a mental episode. Her actions and movements are very in line with someone being frightened and try their best to conceal it and I think it is obvious she is communicating to SOMEBODY. I also notice a jump in the video when the elevator closes at the end, as if something was edited out.
Overall, it just does not make sense that a young lady would climb the roof of a hotel and jump into a water tank. So many things do not add up to that scenario. Someone had to be involved with her death. I mean, would a girl her age even KNOW that those were water tanks on the roof of the hotel? I am much older than she is and I wouldn't even know they the tanks actually contained water. I just can't see that she would know that in the climb up, open the small opening and jump in.
Intriguing, disturbing case indeed and I hope more information.
it's great to have fresh faces to liven up our interest in the case again. It's been a slow drag with still no word on anything :/
