I am online "friends" with a LA Times reporter. He is expecting her tox results to come back showing a mix of drugs. I also spoke with a historian that was interviewed by major media and she is expecting the same. She thinks there is knowledge that LE suffered from bi-polar disorder and may have been in a manic phase. A friend of this person relates running into LE at the Last Bookstore and was very annoyed by her pesky behavior. Also very easy to buy pills on the street near the local Rite-Aid. Ambien could have been part of the this cocktail too. Wish I could say more, but I can't. I was at the Cecil yesterday. Didn't go inside, but it looked like business as usual. There is a small memorial on the sidewalk just north of the hotel consisting of candles and flowers. These are just people's opinions here, I want to reiterate!
I am glad you brought that up. I read the article and watched the video interview with Katie Orphan. I could not imagine how the manager of such a large bookstore would have known and remembered her name and face of someone she met briefly several weeks before. At least 3.
Most people in that situation wouldn't give their first name to the manager,
when asking about a book, much less first AND last name.
Then to remember their face after seeing who knows how many people in between, I was perplexed at the easy recall of KO to her meeting with EL
and their discussion of whether or not a book would be "too heavy" to carry around. Unless EL WANTED to make a memorable impression at "The Last Bookstore".
Did she ask to speak to the manager?
