I just saw Elisa's hotel was near Skid Row in LA, which is a HORRIBLE (although very sad) area with sketchy people. Could someone from there have followed her?? I have been to LA and would never go near Skid Row, even with my husband.. Although she was from Vancouver where they have East Hastings so perhaps she thought it would be fine...but even there, you are advised to avoid that area.

Omg. The hote Elisa stayed at has a horrible reputation of unsolved murders.
"Built as a business hotel in the 1920s, the Cecil fell on hard times during the
Great Depression of the 1930s and never recaptured its original market as downtown
decayed around it in the late 20th century. Several of Los Angeles's more notable murders have happened at or have connections to the hotel: in 1964, Goldie Osgood, the "Pigeon Lady of
Pershing Square," was
raped and murdered in her room at the Cecil, a crime that has never been solved.
[12] Serial killers Jack Unterweger and
Richard Ramirez both resided at the Cecil while active.
[13] There have also been
suicides, one of which also killed a pedestrian in the front of the hotel.
[14] After recent renovations, it has tried to market itself as a
boutique hotel, but the reputation lingers.
[15] "The Cecil will reveal to you whatever it is you're a fugitive from," says
Steve Erickson, a journalist who spent a night in the hotel after Lam's death.
[14]."
"It also became a notorious rendezvous spot for adulterous couples, drug activity, and prostitution.
[12"
This makes me wonder even more why she would book that hotel.

She had a history of BPD and depression and was on medication.. could she have stopped taking it and been going through a phase of mania?
Lam had been diagnosed with
bipolar disorder and
depression. She had been prescribed four medications—
Wellbutrin,
Lamictal,
Seroquel[16] and
Effexor[17]—to treat her disorders. According to her family, who supposedly kept her history of mental illness a secret,
[3] Lam had no history of
suicidal ideations or attempts,
[16] although one report claimed she had previously gone missing for a brief period.
[3]
- perhaps she killed herself...
An interesting read.
