Body of Missing 21 Year Old Canadian Tourist Elisa Lam Found in LA Hotel Water Tank

The sad conclusion of the search for missing Elisa Lam.

Police have identified the body found  in a water tank on the roof of a downtown Los Angeles hotel is that of missing 21-year-old Elisa Lam, a resident of Vancouver, British Columbia. Lam traveled to California by herself on January 27, 2013 and was last seen by workers at the Cecil Hotel on January 31.

Police say they have determined that a body found in a water tank on the roof of a downtown Los Angeles hotel is a Canadian tourist who’d been missing for nearly three weeks.

Earlier Tuesday a hotel maintenance worker found the body while looking into complaints of poor water pressure.

Accident or foul play? According to accounts the roof had been previously searched. Although the water tanks are not locked, access to “the roof is secured with an alarm, and a lock, and a key to the door access. Hmm? So who had the key and clearance to this door and was the alarm working properly?

LAPD Sgt. Rudy Lopez said anyone could have opened the tanks, but access to “the roof is secured with an alarm, and a lock, and a key to the door access.”
