Ever since new Netflix unveiled its new chilling documentary series Crime Scene: The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel, people have been absolutely hooked on the disturbing story of college student Elisa Lam. The eerie Cecil Hotel (now renamed Stay On Main) is renowned for mysterious deaths and a number of suicides between the 1930s-1960s. Serial killer Richard Ramirez, the subject of Netflix documentary Night Stalker, even stayed in the hotel for several weeks during the 1980s. But this Netflix documentary hones in on one case in particular - the shockingly mysterious disappearance of 21-year-old Canadian student Elisa Lam, who suddenly vanished on January 31, 2013, while staying at the Los Angeles downtown hotel.

More on Eliza Lam's video

Elisa Lam's disappearance garnered international attention several years ago when CCTV footage of her in the hotel elevator went viral online. In the CCTV clip, she appeared to be acting erratically, talking and gesturing towards the corridor, before entering and exiting the elevator several times. The footage was unsettling, and many claimed paranormal activity could have been behind her disappearance.

One month after she vanished, Elisa's body was recovered from a water tank on the roof of the hotel, on February 19, 2013. The subsequent video which was put online by the Los Angeles Police Department generated curiosity on the internet, with people charting out several theories about her disappearance. Explanations have ranged from claims of paranormal involvement to bipolar disorder, which Lam took medication for. It has also been argued that the video was altered prior to release. 

After Lam's death, the 15-story hotel stayed operational—though a quick search revealed a long string of dissatisfied customers shocked to find the lodgings much worse than described online. The hotel has been closed since 2017.
