1. The detectives mentioned that when they reviewed the surveillance video, they had a lot of work (20 hours and 1 day) from the day of their disappearance, until they were excited to find the elevator video. When the hotel manager was asked if she had seen elevator surveillance video, she dismissively said that of course, she provided it to the police. This means that she may have watched at least the video on the day of the disappearance before handing over the surveillance video to the police. If it takes a long time for the detective to see the video of the elevator, does it mean that the hotel manager also spent the same amount of time Why didn’t the police ask for surveillance video in the first time for the “review film”?
In addition to the above questions, there are several possibilities: 1) According to the facts of the case, the hotel manager was aware of EL's disruptive behavior (complaints from girls living with them, shouting "I'm crazy, Los Angeles is crazy" in the lobby), no The monitoring that excluded the elevator was known to the manager before the police came to the door. 2) In fact, it did not take long for the police detectives to discover the elevator video. They just included the time to review all the videos in their presentation to exaggerate the difficulty of finding the elevator video. (Isn't viewing surveillance video supposed to be the basic step of investigating crimes?)
The body was found 19 days after the disappearance. The detective discovered her previous interaction with the two men when she reviewed the hotel surveillance. Such important information was not discovered during the first round of surveillance review!
2. The police claimed to have performed environmental fingerprint identification. Does the fingerprint on the ladder or the water tank cover belong to EL?
3. Regarding the altered and deleted video, the two police detectives' rhetoric is inconsistent. A police detective said that the police sometimes hide some information released to the public, such as the specific time she was in the elevator. This kind of rhetoric itself is absurd: Isn't the original intention of the police to release the video to find more clues? The last recorded appearance time before the disappearance is important information. The public can provide a lot of information such as suspicious persons who appeared on this floor before and after this time period. Another police detective even said that he did not rule out that the editing of the video was done by netizens, and that this pot shake was without technical content. What is the motivation of netizens to edit videos? In my opinion, because the DOOR HOLD may be pressed twice in the video, the elevator door can be opened for as long as 4 minutes. This may cause the elevator door to close for too long. The police deleted a fragment of the door open. In order to enter the back elevator as soon as possible, the process of continuously going downstairs without breaking and closing. As netizens discovered, the person was no longer in the picture for about two and a half minutes. The video just ended at 3:59, which means that it is possible that this is a 4-minute full video, and the fragment after the person disappears in the second half is just to show the strangeness of the whole process. Because if no one passes by, this clip will not be of any substantial help to the public in providing clues, otherwise they will not release the abridged version. It gave me the feeling that the police felt that this entire video was very strange, so they shared the video. The psychological tendency contained the eyeball component similar to uploading videos on social networks.
Moreover, if the police compare the elevator buttons with the video, they will find that the door is not closed because the DOOR HOLD has been pressed. However, they did not comment on this when they announced the video, which led to network detectives spending a lot of time analyzing why the door would not be closed.
The detective said that I can be sure that it was not the hotel that edited the video, but it was actually telling the audience that it was the police that did the editing. They probably underestimated the abilities of network detectives and found that the video was edited. They are accustomed to using plant evidence and other means, but once they become self-defeating, they cannot justify themselves.
4. From the confession of the hotel employee who found the body, it can be seen that the water surface was 12 inches away from the top of the water tank, which is about 30 cm. According to the coroner, if she had enough water when she fell into the water, she could pull herself out. In my opinion, 30 cm meets this condition, unless there is another possibility, as the coroner said, as people use water, the water level will drop. Or between falling into the water and being discovered, the water tank was refilled.
The more tragic possibility is that she was still in a state of illness after falling into the water, her consciousness was deviated, and she had no consciousness of self-help. Or he was in suicidal consciousness at the time.
5. As explained at the beginning of the film, she went to travel in order not to lose her sanity, which corroborated her suspicion of stopping the drug.
6. In addition to the 5th floor where she lives, she will also explore other areas of the hotel (such as the 14th floor). The hotel staff once found her in an area not allowed by guests and asked her to leave, and then she went to the elevator. This also increased the possibility that she would try to go to other shelters such as the roof. In addition, she may have hallucinations to avoid something when she goes to these hidden areas.
7. The biggest coincidence is that the plot is extremely similar to the movie "Dark Water", but the most thoughtful and terrifying scene in the movie is that when the little girl's mother climbs up the water tank, the water tank cover is also closed.
8. As for the zip code of this bookstore, in my opinion, it is not ruled out that people who have editing authority for this zip code can change it to this after the incident.
