Also, drugs were ruled out: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-elisa-lam-coroner-death-20130621,0,3154977.story As I feared, they didn't find any evidence of foul play. Thus, they'd blame EL's mental state. At least it was deemed an "accident", since I from her blog entries, she...

Great summary! I, too, have categorized and put into rough timeline her postings (Tumblr/Blogger, mostly.) I wonder if there's a good platform to lay out the timing of her postings, tag certain themes, allow for cross-referencing, etc. Tumblr is such a pain in the rear to filter through...

Here's a good update: http://ktla.com/2013/03/07/woman-found-dead-on-sand-in-newport-idd/#axzz2Mtet8nNo The FB photos may be in line w/ her arrests. Perhaps hanging out with the wrong type of people. "Hoang" is a Vietnamese last name, but those who possess the last name could be...

Thanks for the link. Too bad we don't have shows like that. Seems like a panel of people who are being queried on whether they believe EL committed suicide or was murdered (and how it could have happened.) Good to watch, plus apparently I get lotto numbers (4 min mark)!

I mentioned this a few days ago, but I'm leaning (ok, no pun intended again) towards nearsightedness if indeed EL didn't have her contacts on (I'm not saying she didn't have contacts on.) The distance the first time between her eyes and the buttons are roughly book distance. As a former...

Could you post the reference? My recollection is that they eventually tried to open the door but they found it was locked so they weren't able to test the alarm. I was under the impression that they ended up going to the roof by going up the fire escape.

Also, I know Team China has done this already, but perhaps our local group ("Team USA/LA"?) could verify elevator control operation. I would like to see that. As I recall, I think one of the Chinese sleuthers noted that pressing a floor button would override the Door Hold button. If the...

I mentioned this in a posting a day or two ago, but although her first sequence of presses could have been due to being nearsighted (leaning forward, deliberate pressing from top to bottom of the 7 buttons along the middle,) being nearsighted wouldn't explain why she would repeat the same...

Per the tumblr blogs, she didn't seem to have much money (although "much" is subjective/relative.) She gets a job (presumably in a women's shoe store) mid December 2012 and mentions that she can now earn "food money." However, not feeling that she had much money, she was still able to...

Great video, AlphaWolf. Perhaps in reference to one of your statements about the lack of video showing roof access via the access panel, the team going to LA in a few days could go to the 15th floor and see if they can identify the ladders to the access panel and show whether the panels are...

http://www.ocregister.com/news/police-498479-woman-death.html "Police have not commented on whether the body showed signs of trauma, whether there were signs of a struggle or whether the body had washed ashore." "The identity of the woman is being withheld while her next of kin is...

While the possibility of a connection between the two deaths (EL and Newport Beach girl) is unlikely, I did see the following update "The cause of death was being withheld pending the results of toxicology tests."...

In one of the Chinese videos, the narrator and his/her friend "Brandon" shows how easy it is to get access to the roof via the fire escape. One way would be to go up to the 15th floor, go to the end of the hall, open the unsecured window to the fire escape, and climb up the fire escape ladder...

Great job, AlphaWolf! I'm impressed with the amount of set up and work you put into recreating the video. If you make more videos on this matter, let me know. Thanks.

Although a bit tangential, I do agree there are some bizarre coincidences. We humans are pretty good at pattern recognition, however. Sometimes we like to connect the dots in ways that seem fascinating to us. But on that note, yes, I think she was on the 14th floor. I believe when the...
