讲述者:艾丽莎·拉姆于2013年1月26日抵达洛杉矶,计划进行为期数日的西海岸之旅。然而,她在入住塞西尔酒店期间离奇失踪,最终被发现死于酒店屋顶水箱中。警方调查显示,艾丽莎患有躁郁症和抑郁症,并在失踪前几天表现出异常行为,包括在酒店电梯内做出奇怪举动。警方公布的电梯监控录像显示,艾丽莎在电梯内多次按压楼层按钮,并多次探头查看走廊,似乎处于惊恐状态。警方最终认定艾丽莎的死因为意外溺水,认为她由于未按规定服药导致精神疾病发作,产生幻觉和妄想,最终独自一人爬上屋顶并进入水箱溺亡。然而,这一结论引发了公众的广泛争议,许多人认为艾丽莎的死因另有隐情,并提出了各种猜测,包括他杀、吸毒等可能性。艾丽莎的家人也对塞西尔酒店提起 wrongful death 诉讼,但最终败诉。艾丽莎·拉姆的死亡至今仍是一个充满谜团的案件,引发了公众对精神疾病、酒店安全以及网络信息传播等多方面的思考。

Shownotes Transcript

#063 - On January 26, 2013, 21-year-old Elisa Lam rode an Amtrak train to Los Angeles. She dreamt her entire life of visiting LA-LA land. She dreamt of new friends, a happier life, and maybe even love.  Her chance finally arrived. She somehow convinced her protective parents to let her see the iconic city of angels.

But, when she arrived in Los Angeles, she found no glamour. Instead, she found herself in the heart of Skid Row. And after a few bizarre days, she found herself missing.

The Cecil Hotel, home to California’s murderers, managed to lure the innocent Canadian tourist. Now, the only trace of her left was a creepy, haunting video. Was the lonely Elisa drugged, kidnapped, or murdered? Let the forensics decide.
