You're listening to a Tenderfoot TV podcast. Hey y', all, it's Maggie. I hope you're enjoying up and Vanish weekly. Here's a sneak peek of next week's case. It's the morning of February 19, 2013 in downtown Los Angeles. Residents and staff of the Cecil Hotel are just beginning their day inside. The front desk is especially busy. Over the last few days, multiple reports of low water pressure in the units have been coming in. The hotel dispatches a maintenance worker to check the water tanks located on the roof of the building. The hotel has four water tanks, each measuring 10ft high and holding 1,000 gallons of water. The tanks supply both guest rooms as well as an on site kitchen and coffee shop. As the maintenance worker climbs up and begins his inspection, something immediately stands out. The maintenance hatch on one of the tanks appears to be open. He makes his way towards the open hatch and looks inside. What he sees is horrifying. It's the body of a young woman floating in water only feet below the hatch. After arriving on scene, it does not take long for authorities to identify the woman as 21 year old Elisa Lam. Elisa had been reported missing from the Cecil Hotel three weeks earlier, but with one mystery solved, police must now piece together another. Did Elisa willingly go into the water tank? Or did someone or something send her to a watery grave? If you hate waiting week for new episodes, you can listen to the rest of this episode right now by subscribing to Tenderfoot Plus.
