The 1996 Death Of 27-Year-Old Sandra Orellana Who Fell From Her 8th Floor Hotel Balcony While On A Business Trip In Industry, California

Sandra Orellana was a worker's compensation specialist at a staffing company based in Houston, Texas called Skillmaster.  In November of 1996, she joined company executive Robert Salazar on a business trip to California.  After an evening of drinking and dancing, Sandra went back to her hotel room and fell to her death 8 stories sometime in the middle of the night.  Initially, detectives thought it was a suicide since nobody called 911 until several hours later when another hotel guest discovered her early the next morning.  That is until they found out Sandra wasn't alone when she went over that railing.  It is a mystery that persists to this day - how did Sandra end up falling to her death?  Did she do it to herself?  Did someone do it to her?  Was it a tragic accident?  Listen for yourselves to see if you think you know the answers.
