In 2013, residents of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles noticed a strange odor, look and taste to their tap water. A hotel worker found the cause of the murky, reddish water - the body of a young woman was floating in the rooftop water tank. Elisa Lam had gone missing from the hotel two weeks before, and the discovery of her body solved that mystery but raised more questions than it answered. How did she get there? We discuss the tragic death of Elisa Lam, issues surrounding her death investigation, and talk about a better way to remember her.
