The weird video spread all over the Internet
Before her body was discovered, what caught Lan's attention was the "weird video" that spread around the world. This video was taken on June 65438 + October 31. It is the last image before Lan disappeared.
This surveillance video was previously released by the Los Angeles police and is about 4 minutes long. In the video, after Lan entered the elevator, he immediately bent down and pressed the buttons for several floors, but the elevator did not close. About 20 seconds later, Lan put her head out of the elevator to take a look, and then went in and out of the elevator several times, during which the elevator door was kept open.
After standing outside the elevator for about 30 seconds, Lan entered the elevator with her head in her hands and pressed a few more floor buttons, but the elevator was still not closed. At this time, Lan stepped out of the elevator again, facing to the right, gesturing up and down, left and right with her hands in a strange posture, and moving her legs as if talking to the person opposite. 15 seconds later, Lan left the elevator and disappeared from the monitoring range. After Lan left, the strange elevator stopped for a moment, the door opened, and then closed. After the elevator door closed, it seemed to be working normally again. I opened and closed it several times without any abnormality. I also ran to other floors, but every time I opened and closed it, there were no passengers. So far, the hotel has not responded to the elevator issue that night. The police also stated that Lan did not have any mental illness
Strange hotel murders continued to occur.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Cecil Hotel was filled with beautiful scenery and was synonymous with wealth and fame in Los Angeles. Over time, however, the Cecil Hotel fell into disrepair. Due to its low occupancy rate, this magnificent building from the first half of the last century has now become an ideal paradise for people at the bottom of society.
Because of its complicated accommodation conditions, the Cecil Hotel has even become a magnet for crime. Most widely known, the Cecil Hotel was the long-term residence of two famous murderers: Ramirez, known as the "Midnight Devil", killed one person outside the hotel for several months in the 1980s, and the Austrian Killer "Vienna Strangler" Antwige murdered several prostitutes while staying at a hotel in the 1990s.
In 1962, a tenant jumped to his death and killed a pedestrian walking downstairs. In 1964, the switchboard operator Ms. Pigeon was raped and murdered in a hotel room. The murderer is still at large.
In 2010, a firefighter in Los Angeles reported to the police that when he was answering the phone in his room, a tragic voice came from the other end of the phone, and he was stabbed in the chest. However, police later said that no attacker was found.
Something strange happened in the hotel on the day of the disappearance.
The hotel was also different on the night Lan Kerr disappeared. Bernard, 89, has lived at the hotel for 32 years. He told American media reporters that on the night Lan Kerr disappeared, he heard a loud noise from upstairs.
Bonade said the hotel flooded that night. "I heard that the leakage is caused by the blockage of the drainage pipe between the third and fourth floors."
A reporter from the Overseas Chinese News reported that about 30% of the guests in this hotel are Chinese tourists and Chinese tourists. They said that after learning that the female body was found in the water tank, their first feeling was shock, and then nausea. But so far, no tourists have made claims.
The tragic nightmare of the Black Dahlia reappears
The hotel where Lan died is the same place where the unsolved dismemberment tragedy "The Black Dahlia" took place.
The real murderer of 1947 caused a sensation in California. The late Elizabeth Sot was known as the "Black Dahlia" for her black costumes. After the death of Elizabeth Soter, the LAPD tried its best to help solve the case because the murder was so bloody and horrific that the entire United States, especially the residents of Los Angeles, were worried. As long as this cruel murderer is not caught, the residents, especially the female residents, will be restless.
