Whatever happened to Elisa Lam?

The tale of Elisa Lam is as baffling as it is disturbing. Whilst, on the surface, this is a story of tragedy and human error, a closer look reveals that all is certainly not as it seems. Inexplicable activity and a history of horror mean that, in the eyes of some, it was only a matter of time before the Cecil Hotel claimed another victim. And yet, like many unnatural incidents, the opening chapters of the saga were without drama.
