Death of Elisa Lam

Forensic Tales

#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.
