Today we conclude our investigation into the disappearance of Elisa Lam by reviewing documents from the civil litigation and giving you our theories on what actually happened.
I thought that the episodes on the Elisa Lam case were great. I’d like to add two comments. The first is about the drug quetiapine (pronounced ‘quet-eye-a-peen’)- I take this medication, and although it is an anti-psychotic, it is also prescribed for sleep problems. If you take this drug, it is usually recommended that you take it at night because it makes you incredibly drowsy. If I suddenly stop taking Quetiapine, there is no way I can sleep at all. (As an aside, withdrawal from this drug makes you incredibly itchy!). Because Elisa didn’t have traces of this prescribed drug in her system, it makes me think that she probably didn’t sleep for at least a couple of nights before the incident. This possibly contributed to her odd behaviour with her room-mates at the hotel. My other comment is just to leave a link to a short Australian film that I saw many years ago involving a girl drowning in a water tank. When I first heard about the Elisa Lam case I immediately thought of this film because it left quite an impact on me all those years ago. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE1Uy4NjAIs
