thanks for the reply mas verde....
I was talking about... " if an employee killed her"....why not move the body out of the hotel through the stairs.
an employee would need to have a large case for the body.....and move it down the stairs / elevator. ( I do believe it would be the best option...but still heavy...that was all I am trying to convey)
but it would look a little suspicious for an employee carrying thier own case/luggage.......is it possible?...of course. would it be heavy?....yes.
A roof access hatch? Why is this not being discussed!!!!
Correct me if I am wrong. I think you have thought about this and studied it so probably have a better idea about it than me.
I think with the secrecy, law enforcement is usually trying to somehow protect their "case" for if it should ever go to trial and this protection comes at the expense of finding the killer. I suppose it makes sense in some ways because if they jeopardize their case but catch the killer, the killer might walk.
But it would seem that they should take that chance because finding the guy and losing the trial is better than never finding the guy. If they released everything they knew, somebody might put two and two together and realize that they know something and break the case wide open.
People keep saying this. But as a reference, I have traveled overseas a few times. A couple I was there for over a month. I am ashamed to say that I traveled a little on the heavy side. That means that I carry the max allowance that the airline would allow me without having to pay an upcharge.
And I never took a taxi. I was always public transportation and hoofing it around through many countries. So, yeah, I was dragging one 50 to 55 pound large suitcase plus a 20 to 30 pound carry on plus my LARGE purse which had a camcorder, camera and tons of other crap and probably weighed at least 15 pounds on its own.
Add that all up and I was dragging around about 90 pounds. I am about Elisa Lam's height and weight. I dragged that about two miles to get from the Underground to a youth hostel in London once. Part of the way was up a really nasty, steep hill. I also lugged that up and down steps when I needed to by strapping the carry-on case to the larger suitcase.
So if I (slender female) can drag 90 pounds two miles and up a hill, then a regular sized guy can lug a 115 pound woman down some stairs or up some stairs.
I am just really weirded out by this idea that a dude can't carry her. Sorry, just don't get it. Have I just dated strong guys? I always thought I dated pretty normal sized American guys. If a guy told me he couldn't get me up or down some stairs, I would like laugh at him. I might not laugh in his face but I would laugh inside quite a bit. I would make an exception for a tiny little 100 pound guy--like one of those skinny little metrosexual skinny jean wearing French guys that we saw all over Paris. My boyfriend commented about it quite a bit. He got a complex and started saying he was fat. I was like, honey, they look like girls. Really, I could beat most of them up. I like you just the way you are--a big strong, red blooded American boy. Nothing wrong with you. If a regular American guy said he couldn't carry a small girl down some stairs if he had to, seriously, I would really look at him funny.
I make an exception for Stephen Hawking and other sickly but intelligent men. I'll make an exception for scrawny and sickly men in general. But a regular guy should be able to do it.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be harsh. I hope I didn't come across that way. I know you were just saying it would be heavy. But I just wanted to put in my two cents that it wouldn't be so heavy that it would stop somebody or even pause them to do it. Especially a guy. My ex who did construction (admittedly a very strong guy--looked like a Viking) would have not even broken a sweat.
I think that a short term guest checking out wouldn't have looked that suspicious going through the lobby with a large sized suitcase. But I think an employee or a long-term resident would have drawn great suspicion once the police saw them with a large suitcase on the lobby video cameras.
I think a crafty person would realize that and not choose to basically place a large sign on him that says, "Hey, focus your investigate efforts on me cuz I look guilty as heck!" The water tank was a pretty good idea. The water has probably destroyed a lot of evidence. And believe it or not, he may not have had the stomach for cutting her up and taking her out of the hotel a piece at a time. Sorry, that is totally revolting but I don't know how else to say it. Just because somebody can kill someone doesn't mean they have the disposition to deal with like dismemberment or something on that order. Or they may have just been too lazy to do it that way. Or they didn't want blood in their bathtub. Or like other people said, maybe she was killed on the roof so it was an easy solution.
Obviously i'm just trying to find something to go on here so don't mind if i make a few wild questions before i find an answer to discredit it.
- my thoughts , Im not arguing whether it's possible for an average person to get a 115lbs body down the stairs....it is possible. ( again I was thinking why the perp didn't carry the body away from the hotel.....weight + hiding it posed major problems)
I guess my thoughts are really obvious...cheers.
... that was 2 minutes of my life I can never get back...
"secrecy strategy":
So the hatch might lead to more like a crawlspace? But could you crawl through the crawl space and then drop down into the hotel through a ceiling panel somewhere?
How do you use a vertical fire escape chute? Does it spiral inside? Can anybody go down it anytime? I sort of want to try it now.
That lid is only made of galvanized sheet metal, might weigh a pound at the most. A gust of wind could shut it.
