Wrong. Assuming EL was in tank on Jan 31, 2013, temperature at 2am was 63 degree F. Temp remains steady at 63 degree F til 11am at which it CLIMBED to 67F then continued climbing to 76 degree F at 3pm Feb 1, 2013.
EL would NOT have perished in that 2-6 hour period other poster stated.

Like I said, highly doubt she was ever in that tank alive.. while I do appreciate the many ideas people have it seems a bit far fetched to think a person wouldn't make a racket if they were put into a metal tank alive.. you wouldn't even get me on the roof from inside the hotel without me screaming my head off.
