一家历史上恶名远播的酒店又发生了一桩奇案 A hotel with a notorious past is the site of another bizarre case.
这是最受人们关注的真实罪案之一 It's one of the most obsessively followed true crime cases of the century.
一个可怕的发现‎给塞西尔酒店的黑历史 This gruesome discovery is the latest chapter
增加了新的篇章 in a dark history for the Cecil Hotel.
塞西尔酒店 The Cecil?
塞西尔酒店 我也不知道啊 You want to know about the Cecil.
从哪里说起呢 Where should I start?
塞西尔是个非常具有欺骗性的酒店 The Cecil was a very deceiving hotel.
它外表美观 There's a lot of beauty to it.
但实际情况却完全相反 But it was the complete opposite of beauty.
很多人不禁会想 A lot of people can't help but wonder,
塞西尔酒店是不是中了什么邪 like, is the Cecil Hotel consumed by a nexus of dark energy?
有人失踪 We've got missing persons…
有人自杀 suicides…
吸毒过量 overdoses.
不知什么原因 那家酒店 For some reason, that hotel…
房间里 总是有疯狂的事发生 had some extra bit of insanity going on within those walls.
毒贩子 Drug dealers.
妓女 Prostitutes.
强奸犯 杀人犯 Rapists Murderers.
塞西尔酒店是连环杀人犯‎肆意妄为的地方 The Cecil is a place where serial killers, you know, let their hair down.
撒旦万岁 Hail, Satan!
你要是不小心 ‎可能就会从窗户飞出去 And if you didn't watch yourself, you might come flying out the window.
坏事接二连三 不断在这里发生 Bad things keep happening there, over and over and over and over again.
为什么 Why?
接下来发生的事我做梦也想不到 I would have never thought what was about to happen could happen.
蓝可儿一案中 With Elisa Lam,
一个21岁的大学生彻底失踪了 you're talking about a 21-year-old college student that just completely disappears.
我们必须从塞西尔酒店开始 The hotel is where we have to start.
但随后‎我们渐渐失去了对调查的掌控 But then the investigation took on a life of its own.
我花了好几个小时进行调查 I have spent hours and hours investigating this.
在电梯里 她表现得很奇怪 In the elevator, she's acting very strange.
她的手在干嘛 What's with the hand movements?
这件事 我们所知的只是冰山一角 There's more to the story than meets the eye.
我想洛杉矶警局有人腐败了 I think that somebody from the LAPD was corrupt.
我相信塞西尔酒店有内鬼 I believe somebody in the Cecil Hotel was involved.
即使不是阴谋论者‎你也会在心里想 "搞什么鬼" You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to say, "What the fuck?"
我想蓝可儿就像一只落网的昆虫 I think that Elisa Lam was almost like an insect caught in a trap.
塞西尔酒店把她诱入了圈套 The Cecil was able to lure her to come inside.
塞西尔酒店充满了罪案… The Cecil Hotel is this exalted space of crime…
暴力… of violence…
诡异事件… of spookiness…
它还在召唤着我们 …that just continues to call to us.

社区警报通知 寻人
来自加拿大温哥华的蓝可儿失踪了 Elisa Lam from Vancouver, Canada is missing.
她独自一人旅行 She was traveling by herself,
在圣地亚哥住了几天 spent a few days in San Diego,
1月28日来到洛杉矶 and then came to Los Angeles on the 28th of January.
警方说 这位年轻女士‎计划继续在加州观光旅行 The young woman planned to see more of California, say police.
1月31日 她在加拿大的父母‎最后一次和她联系 January 31st was the last time her family in Canada had heard from her.
蓝可儿可能受到了伤害‎或者遭遇了危险 It is possible that Ms. Lam is either hurt or in danger.
她一向没有什么出格的行为 She has no history of any kind of behavior
会导致这样的结果 that would end up like this.
洛杉矶警局的抢劫与凶杀案调查组‎负责本案 LAPD's elite robbery-homicide section is on the case.
我是蒂姆·马沙 My name's Tim Marcia.
我当时是洛杉矶警局的探员 I was a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department.
一天早上 One morning,
我们被告知 我们接了一个失踪案 we were told that we had picked up a missing persons case.
一个来自加拿大的年轻女性 She was a young female from Canada,
独自一人来加利福尼亚旅游 traveling throughout California by herself.
‎大家一阵慌乱 There was a sense of panic.
抢劫与凶案组大概有18名探员 There was probably about 18 detectives, uh, from robbery-homicide division,
做出了响应 uh, that responded.
蓝可儿的父母告诉警局 Elisa Lam's family told the police department
她一般每天都打电话 that she would typically call every day.
用这种方式向家里报平安 很有规律 It was just routine for her to check in,
那天她没打电话 他们有点担心 and she hadn't called, and that concerned them.
情况紧急 So there was a true sense of urgency.
我们坐在那里讨论‎"有哪些可能性" We sat there and we discussed, "What are the possibilities?"
第一 她不想被找到 One, that she doesn't want to be found.
她故意躲起来了 She's off the radar by choice.
也许她在洛杉矶人生地不熟 ‎晕头转向 Maybe she was disoriented, not being familiar with Los Angeles,
迷路了 and she's lost.
或者 会不会发生了更可怕的事… Or could it be something worse than that…
也许她成了某个事故或者罪案的 where she was a victim of some type of accident
受害者 or some type of crime?
调查人员开始‎与蓝可儿的父母交换信息 The investigators begin to exchange information with Elisa Lam's family
尝试查明‎最后一次有人见到她是在哪里 to figure out where she was last seen, last known to have been,
他们得知 那是在她入住的酒店 and they had learned that it was the hotel where she was staying.
一家历史上恶名远播的酒店又发生了一桩奇案 A hotel with a notorious past is the site of another bizarre case.
蓝可儿住在洛杉矶市中心的‎塞西尔酒店 Elisa was staying here at the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
他们有85美元一晚的客房 ‎多数客人来自外国 It has $85-a-night rooms and mostly guests from foreign countries.
下午 将近20名抢劫凶杀案探员‎涌到酒店 Nearly 20 robbery-homicide detectives at mid-afternoon swarmed the hotel,
应该是来寻找目击者和线索 presumably looking for witnesses and clues.
2007年到2017年间 ‎我是塞西尔酒店的总经理 I was the general manager of the Cecil Hotel from 2007 to 2017,
干了十年 so ten years.
那就像是我的王国 It was like my kingdom.
你知道 那是个王国 It was a kingdom, you know.
我也叫它动物园 I've also called it a zoo.
你永远不知道 哪一天 You just never knew what was gonna happen…
会发生什么事 at any given day.
警察
蓝可儿失踪后 我们感到震惊 At the time when Elisa Lam went missing, it was alarming,
但我们配合警方 but we cooperated with the police officers,
全程提供最好的协助 trying to help the best we can every step of the way.
我告诉探员 她是2013年1月28日‎入住我们酒店的 I told detectives that she checked into our hotel on January 28th, 2013.
我记得她要住四天 As far as I know, she was gonna be staying with us for four days.
506房间是提供给女性客人的‎上下铺客房 506 was a female bunk room.
走廊尽头有公用卫生间和浴室 Community toilets and showers were down the hall.
年轻旅客预算有限 ‎他们只想有个干净地方可以过夜 Young travelers are on a budget. They just want a clean place to stay.
蓝可儿应该在2月1日退房 Elisa was supposed to check out on February 1st,
她也是在那一天被报告失踪的 which was also the day that she was reported missing.
调查人员进入她的房间 The investigators went to her room…
寻找可能的物证 to search for potential evidence.
但他们得知 酒店工作人员已经‎拿走了她的所有个人物品 But they learned that the hotel staff removed all her personal belongings.
在酒店里 如果有客人没有现场退房 In a hotel, when somebody doesn't physically check out
并且在房间里留下了个人物品 and they leave property in the room,
按规定就要把这些物品收存起来 it's just protocol that you…you know, you bag up the belongings
保留30天 and you store you 'em for 30 days.
客人们遗留的东西五花八门 ‎你都想不到 You'd be surprised what people leave at the hotel.
有一次 我们在酒店的浴缸里‎发现一条蛇 We found a snake once in the hotel, in the… the bathtub.
调查人员发现了她的笔记本电脑… Investigators discovered that her laptop had been left behind…
她的处方药和其他值钱的东西 her prescription medications, other items of value.
她的钱包 她穿用的所有衣物 Her wallet, all of the clothes that she wore,
所有这些都留在了房间 all those things were… were left behind in the room.
负责收走她物品的酒店员工说 The employee that had bagged up her belongings
房间很凌乱 乱七八糟的 said that the room was in disarray, as in messy,
但不像有什么可疑的事 but not as in foul play.
没有强行闯入的迹象 There was no evidence of forced entry into the room.
没有与吸毒相关的各种物品 There was no paraphernalia or drugs,
但我记得当时我就本能地 but I remember feeling instinctively
有种不祥的预感 that this does not feel like it's gonna end well.
英国 普利茅斯
我丈夫麦克和我 ‎我们一直想去美国看看 My husband Mike and I, we always wanted to go and visit America,
特别是洛杉矶 especially Los Angeles.
晒晒太阳 A bit of sunshine,
麦克和萨比娜·鲍
塞西尔酒店客人
离开阴雨连绵的英格兰 travel away from rainy, miserable England.
是啊 Yeah, actually.
一天 麦克说 ‎"我们何不去洛杉矶呢" One day, Mike said, "Why don't we go to L.A.?"
我说 "对啊 我们走吧" And I said, "Yeah, sure, let's go."
我们找到一个两周假期旅行方案 We found this particular holiday for two weeks,
相当便宜 and it was fairly cheap.
没有关于酒店的介绍 There was no information on the hotel.
只说是在"洛杉矶市中心" 但很划算 It just said "downtown L.A.," but it was a really good deal.
所以我们想 "就选这个吧" So we thought, "Why don't we do it?"
那是我们第一次去美国 我们很兴奋 It was our first trip to America, and we were very excited for it.
我们乘车经过洛杉矶市中心 So we're driving through downtown L.A.,
直奔酒店 going straight to the hotel.
出租车司机把我们送到酒店 So the taxi driver dropped us off at the hotel.
外面看起来很漂亮 The outside looked really nice.
我们看到酒店的招牌 "塞西尔酒店" And we saw the sign that said "the Cecil Hotel."
我们走进大堂 We walked into the lobby
不禁感叹 "太赞了" and we were like, "Wow."
看起来真的很漂亮 富丽堂皇 It looked really beautiful, grand.
很大 很宽敞 Very big and very spacious,
巨大的柱子 with big pillars.
我们拿到钥匙后就上楼了 We got our key, so we went upstairs.
一离开大堂 进入电梯 The minute you leave the lobby and go into the elevator…
你就回到了1986年 …you've gone back to, like, 1986.
等我们进入了房间… And so, when we got to the… our room…
那里面特别脏 到处是灰 The room was dirty. There was dust everywhere.
地毯 And the carpet was…
几乎是粘的 almost sticky.
每走一步几乎都要把你的脚粘住 ‎也不至于 但是差不多了 You almost had to peel your feet as you were walking. Not quite, but almost.
但是 因为我们支付的价格低廉 But because of the price we paid for it,
我们想 "没关系 我们只需要‎在这里洗浴和睡觉而已" we thought, "Oh, that's okay. We will only wash and sleep here anyway."
我们想 "积极一点 没关系 We thought, "Be positive. It's okay.
能出什么问题" What… What can go wrong?" You know.
于是 我们放下行李 出去找地方吃饭 So we just dropped the stuff off, went outside to find somewhere to eat.
我们时差没倒过来 很疲惫 所以我们迷路了 Because we were so jet-lagged and so tired, we got lost,
我们向人打听‎"塞西尔酒店怎么走" and we started asking people, "Oh, where's Cecil Hotel?"
人们用那样的眼神看我们 And people were giving us looks.
然后 我们发现一根路灯柱 And the next thing we saw was a lamppost
上面贴着失踪者的照片 that had a missing person's picture on it.
有个人说 "那个女孩失踪了 他们还在找" This one guy mentioned, "That girl, she's gone missing. They're looking for her."
她就住在塞西尔酒店 我们住的那家 She stayed in Cecil Hotel, where we were staying.
我们不禁想 "我们住那里安全吗" And then we thought, "Are we safe and secure in the hotel?"
找到蓝可儿的个人物品后 After the discovery of Elisa's personal belongings,
调查人员没有发现‎任何有关她去向的线索 investigators had no leads as to where she might have been.
所以 我们需要‎酒店目击者的一手信息 So we needed first-hand accounts from witnesses at the hotel.
我们必须询问尽可能多的人 ‎这很重要 And it's imperative that we speak to as many people as possible.
她在酒店里和谁联系过 Who did she have contact with in the hotel itself?
她和哪些员工有过接触 What employees did she have contact with?
我向他们提供了酒店住客的信息 I gave them all the information of who was staying at the hotel,
所有曾在酒店工作过的人的姓名 the names of everyone that has worked at our hotel.
当时 我们有大约50名员工 At that time, we had about 50 employees.
我是酒店的维修工 I was a maintenance worker at the hotel.
桑地亚哥·洛佩兹 ‎塞西尔酒店前员工
警察把我叫去 I spent time with the police,
问了我一些问题 了解情况 who were interviewing me and talking to me.
我告诉他们我从没见到她 I told them that I never saw her.
但接待员 前台的人 But the receptionist, the guy at the front desk,
他们说她像个学生 they say that she looked like she was a student.
总是拿着本书 She was always with a book.
我们问了她失踪当晚 We spoke to the employees
值晚班的员工 that worked the late shift on the night of her disappearance,
他们说他们看见蓝可儿在一个‎客人不允许进入的区域 and they said that they had seen Elisa in an area that no guests were allowed in,
于是他们请她离开 so they actually asked her to leave,
然后 她朝着电梯走去 and she walked towards the bank of the elevators.
但那是人们最后一次见到她 But that was the last time that anybody saw her.
调查人员没有发现任何有助于 Unfortunately, investigators were unable to come up with anything
找到蓝可儿的线索 that, uh, might have helped locate Elisa.
我一般不做关于失踪人员的报道 I don't typically do a lot of missing persons stories.
但这件事有些神秘之处 But there was something really mysterious about this story,
我觉得 蓝可儿一案 um, and I felt like the Elisa Lam case
是个谜 也许我可以解开这个谜 was a puzzle that maybe I could put together.
根据警方的说法关于蓝可儿 我们所知不多 According to the police, not a lot is known about her,
只知道她父母是来自香港的移民 ‎有两个女儿 她是其中之一 except that she's one of two daughters of an immigrant family from Hong Kong.
所以她是第一代 So she's first generation.
她父母开着一家餐馆 Her parents own a… a Chinese restaurant,
她就读于不列颠哥伦比亚大学 and she's attending classes at the University of British Columbia.
和许多年轻人一样 ‎她很迷恋社交媒体 And she was, like a lot of young people, all over social media.
她偏好的平台是汤不热 Tumblr was her platform of choice
她把它当作日记 that she seemed to treat almost like a diary.
因为她发帖非常频繁 Because she was such a prolific poster,
警方利用她的社交媒体‎复原了她的旅行轨迹 police were able to use her social media to retrace her steps.
好像她留下了一串数字标记‎让人们追踪 It was almost like she'd left these digital breadcrumbs to follow.
人们发现 她基本上有一个行程计划 It was discovered that she had an itinerary, to a certain degree…
她去过圣地亚哥 and that she had been down in San Diego.
蓝可儿来到洛杉矶 Elisa arrived in L.A.
在酒店办理入住 Checks into the hotel.
作为游客正常地过了几天 Has a normal few days of being a tourist.
旅行期间 And during her trip,
她去参加了一次电视节目的录制 we know she went to a taping of a TV show.
她外出游玩 We know she was going out,
很显然 她愿意与陌生人见面‎和他们交往 and she was clearly open to meeting and hanging out with strangers.
她是不是 Did she have any, uh…
在网上交到了什么朋友 ‎或者和谁产生了恋情 friendships or love interests that were developed via the internet,
她是来见网友的吗 where she was traveling to meet up with somebody?
所以我们努力核实这一点 And so efforts were put in to try to identify that.
最终 调查人员找到了她失踪当天曾去过的一家书店 Eventually, investigators found a bookstore she had visited on the day she went missing.
最后的书店
我们去找了书店的经营者 We went and talked to the management there,
他们说记得蓝可儿来过 and they actually remembered Elisa coming into the location.
她提到要买哪些书 She was talking about what books she was getting
以及她要买的那些书是不是太沉 and whether what she was getting would be too heavy
不便于旅途或回家路上携带 to carry around as she traveled or take home with her.
她很外向 很活波 非常友善 She was very outgoing, very lively, very friendly.
她去了一家书店 回到酒店 ‎然后就失踪了 So she went to a bookstore, came back to the hotel, then vanished.
无影无踪 Only there's no trace of her.
这时 她失踪已经大约五天了 At this point, she had been missing for approximately five days,
我们什么线索也没有 and we don't have anything.
我的直觉是 My instinctive feeling was
塞西尔酒店和她的失踪有关 the Cecil Hotel had something to do with her disappearance.
关于蓝可儿的故事 ‎不能不提到塞西尔酒店 There is no Elisa Lam story without the context of the Cecil Hotel.
事情发生在塞西尔酒店 ‎蓝可儿在这里失踪 The fact that it happened at the Cecil, that Elisa Lam disappeared at the Cecil,
这让此事成了历史性的谜案 makes it sort of a historic mystery,
事件的焦点不只是蓝可儿 ‎也是塞西尔酒店 and the Cecil is as much a character as Elisa is.
塞西尔的故事是一个冒险故事 The story of the Cecil, it's a story of adventure.
故事的情节你无法预料 It's a story of things you just can't predict.
开始都很好 我真希望‎我能看到当年的塞西尔 In the beginning, it was nice. I wish I could see what it was like.
一定很令人激动 Must have been so exciting.
1919年 洛杉矶是世人眼中‎最大的新兴城市 1919, Los Angeles is the biggest boomtown anyone's ever seen.
大家都涌入洛杉矶 Everyone was pouring into Los Angeles.
它是人人心目中的圣地 ‎商业活动欣欣向荣 This mecca is booming with business and enterprise
关于它的种种伟大与辉煌‎被人们传为佳话 and its legends of greatness and glamour.
城市中心区也是爆炸式增长的中心 The downtown area was at the center of the explosion.
1924年底 塞西尔酒店开张 The Hotel Cecil opens at the end of 1924.
耗资一百万美元 当时是很大一笔钱 Costs a million dollars, which is a lot of money back then.
塞西尔酒店宏伟壮观 令人惊叹 Awe-inspiring and breathtaking is the Cecil Hotel.
高耸于好莱坞的城市上空 Rising above the rooftops of Hollywood,
是全世界同类酒店中 it is one of the most beautifully constructed hotels of its type
建筑最精美的一个 to be found anywhere.
建筑质量过硬 盖得非常好 She has good bones. She was done right.
对于洛杉矶来说 塞西尔酒店太大了 For Los Angeles, the Cecil is so… so big.
它有700个房间 It has 700 rooms.
它不是豪华酒店 It's not a luxury hotel.
有些人愿意少花点钱 ‎少一点舒适也无所谓 Some people are willing to pay a little less for a little less comfort.
它算是一家旅社 It's really a travelers' hotel.
和太平洋电气轻轨站在同一个街区 It's down the block from the Pacific Electric light rail station.
每天十万人进出那个火车站 100,000 people a day, coming in and out of that railway station.
塞西尔酒店很乐意接待这些旅客 And the Hotel Cecil was happy to accommodate them.
20世纪20年代 那是大家 It's exactly what everyone wanted to see
都乐于见到的 in the middle 1920s,
然后就崩盘了 and then it all burst.
美国实业欣欣向荣 Industrial America was truly the land of plenty.
可是随后发生了突如其来的 Then with appalling suddenness came the beginning
有史以来最严重的大萧条 of the greatest depression of all time.
股价暴跌 工厂关闭 企业倒闭 Stocks collapsed, factories shut down, businesses passed out of existence.
失业潮像瘟疫一样席卷全国 Unemployment swept the nation like a horrible pestilence.
我们自顾不暇 商会
整个中心城区都很艰难 It was very hard on all of downtown.
到了20世纪30年代中期 ‎塞西尔酒店难以维持下去 By the early 1930s, the Hotel Cecil was very much down on its heels.
所以它成了 And so it becomes
老年人的旅店 a hotel of older gentleman
他们想尽量少花钱 who really want to spend as little money as possible
能住多久就住多久 to stay there as long as possible.
酒店经历了很多不同的阶段 There were so many different phases the hotel went through.
1981年 1982年 1983年 ‎我都住在塞西尔酒店 I was staying in the Cecil, I would say, back in, like, say, '81, '82, '83.
甚至90年代也住过 Even back, you know what I'm saying, like '90s.
我有钱的时候就去塞西尔 When I had money, the Cecil, that was like… that was like the spot.
在那里 两三美元可以睡一晚上 You know, that's where I used to go for, like, two, three dollars a night.
你有彩色电视什么的 You know, you had your color TV and all that,
地上有地毯 the carpet on the floor.
拐过街角就有个很大的卖酒的市场 You had the big liquor market right there on the corner.
我会带一个伴 一个女伴 I would take me a little companion up there, a little female friend,
我们就可以住下 and we would stay up there.
春风一度 And hey, we would get it on.
你知道 就是 You know, that's…You know it.
很多事在塞西尔酒店里发生 Believe me, there was a lot going on in the Cecil.
毒品 抢劫 妓女 Drugs, robberies, prostitutes.
我也在干着我的勾当在那里 我也不是天使 I mean, I was out there doing my dirt too. You know, I wasn't no angel out there.
过去 那可是一家丑闻丛生的酒店 Back in the day, that used to be a very scandalous hotel.
我看它就像泰坦尼克号 The way I see it is, it's like the Titanic.
泰坦尼克号起航时‎是一艘美丽的邮轮 When the Titanic sailed off, it was a beautiful ship.
大家都想 Everybody's thinking,
"天呐 太先进了 真是一艘漂亮的船 ‎永远不会沉" 对吧 "My God, this is just state-of-the-art, this gorgeous ship, unsinkable." You know?
结果 泰坦尼克号怎么样了 ‎我们都知道 Well, we all know what happened to the Titanic.
现在 Right now…
有一个21岁的青年 ‎在城市某个地方失踪了 we have a 21-year-old who's lost somewhere in the city.
我们知道她面临危险 We knew that she was in danger.
对我个人来说 我也有个女儿 ‎当时她19岁 我想… Me, personally, as a parent of a daughter who was 19 at that time, I think…
你会有一个闪念 ‎认为这和你的家人有关 you have a flash that there's some type of connection to your own family.
让我们祈祷我们能找到她吧 Let's just pray we find her.
大家准备好了吗 Everybody ready?
洛杉矶警局很重视 The LAPD were very concerned,
所以他们和孩子的家人一起 ‎召开了记者会 so they had a press conference with the family
希望得到公众的协助 in an effort to try to get help from the public.
好的 我来介绍一下警督沃特·蒂格 Okay, I'm gonna introduce Lieutenant Walter Teague, T-e-a-g-u-e.
2013年2月6日
蓝可儿失踪第六天
他负责抢劫凶杀组的工作 He's, uh, the officer in charge up at robbery-homicide division.
他的团队在处理这起失踪案件 His team is handling this, uh, missing case.
今天到场的还有… Uh, also with us…
他们不会发表讲话 ‎但他们是蓝可儿的亲属 Uh, they will not be speaking, but this is the family of Elisa Lam.
下面请蒂格警督接着讲 And, uh, I'll let, uh, Lieutenant Teague take over from here.
下午好 谢谢大家出席 Good afternoon. Uh, thanks for coming.
已经过去五天了 今天是第六天 So it's been five days, six days now.
完全没有音讯 There's been no communication at all,
这让我们很担心 孩子的亲属很担心 and, uh, that's, uh, worried us and worried the family.
我们希望公布这张照片 ‎以便找到蓝可儿 Seeking to get this photo out so we can, uh, find Elisa.
有没有监控录像 Is there surveillance video
显示她进出酒店 showing her coming and going from the hotel?
我们正在调查 We're in the process of investigating that
也正在收集这方面的一切线索 and, uh, collecting anything we can in that angle.
目前 调查仍在继续 我们希望得到你们的帮助 We're continuing the investigation now, and we're looking for your help.
父母要不要说两句 Would the parents like to say anything?
他们今天不会发表讲话 Not at this time.
如果一个母亲的面孔会讲故事 ‎那么这就是她的故事 If a mother's face can tell the story, here it is.
担忧 Worry.
还有她的父亲 凝重的关切 And from a father, somber concern.
她的父母和妹妹从加拿大乘飞机过来‎协助调查 Her parents and sister flew in from Canada to help.
他们很困惑 They are baffled.
亲爱的汤不热潜水员 读者和跟踪者 Dearest Tumblr lurker, reader, stalker,
所有对我精彩人生中遇到的‎考验与挫折感兴趣的人 whoever is interested in the trials and tribulations of my fascinating life…
外面的世界还大得很 ‎而我才只见识到了一小部分 There is a wider world out there, and I have only seen a fraction of it.
我很兴奋 我会去见识新的环境 I'm very excited. I'll be seeing new places
希望遇到一些有趣的善良的人 and hopefully meet some interesting and nice people.
我能接受陌生人和我说话 I'd be fine with a stranger talking to me,
但多数时候 我不知道自己在说什么 but I'm not very conscious of what I'm saying most of the time.
我做事太过火 怎么想的就怎么说 I take things too far and I have no filter.
仿佛我总是在最糟糕的时候 It seems I always make the biggest mistakes
犯下最严重的错误 at the worst possible moments.
这张嘴就是我惹祸的根由 My mouth is my downfall,
它会让我倒霉的 and it will get me in trouble.
从我们的加州阳光假日酒店出来 From our sunny holiday in California…
我们只是想领略一下当地风光 we just wanted to explore a little bit.
天气晴朗温暖 This weather, it's so warm and lovely.
我们喜欢散步 We love walking,
我们只是想尽可能多看看 and we just wanted to see as much as possible.
所以我们很早就出门了 So we left really early.
一整天都在外面 Got out, spent the day out.
我们想 "这里是洛杉矶市中心 ‎我们就在城市的中心 We thought, "Ooh, it's downtown L.A., we're right in the middle of it.
真棒啊" How awesome!"
可是当你看到中心城区的环境 But when you look at the environment of downtown,
和我们的预期真是截然相反 it's the exact opposite of my expectation.
我们‎一路上看到好多无家可归的人 We were walking and we saw a lot of homeless people.
一排一排 都在街上支着帐篷‎在那里睡觉 Rows and rows, and they're all outside on the street, sleeping.
看得出来 他们都是露宿街头 And you can see they live… they live outside.
然后我们才知道 ‎酒店周围这一带叫游民巷 And then we found out that this area around the hotel is called Skid Row.
人们都说游民巷很不安全 Skid Row has a reputation to be a dangerous place.
我们真是大吃一惊 That was a big shock.
入住塞西尔的游客会想 A visitor staying at the Cecil,
"我在市中心 不妨出去走走看看" you just think, "Well, I'm downtown. Let me take a walk and see what's here."
你不知道 你住的地方是全美国 And little do you know that you're staying at Ground Zero
吉姆·麦克索利
洛杉矶警局警长
最危险 最暴力的地段之一 of one of the most dangerous and violent places in the United States of America.
游民巷是洛杉矶市中心的贫民区 ‎覆盖56个街区 Skid Row is a 56-block area in downtown Los Angeles.
这是全世界最穷的地区之一 It's one of the poorest areas in the entire world,
已经存在了100多年 and it's existed for over 100 years.
目前 大约有八千到一万名‎无家可归者 Currently, about 8,000 to 10,000 homeless individuals
住在游民巷 live on Skid Row.
我要说 没有人生下来就在游民巷 Let me just say, nobody was born on Skid row.
这里有很多故事 There's a lot of stories there.
我来自纽约市 I'm from New York City.
我在那边丢了工作 When I lost my job,
于是我浪迹天涯 最终来到了洛杉矶 I just took to the road, and eventually I wound up here in L.A.
我在游民巷的街头住了21年 And, you know, I found myself living on the streets of Skid Row for 21 years.
家 温暖的家
很艰难 You know, it's pretty rough.
各种救济站 收容所都在这里 They got all the missions, shelters, right here.
我们几乎所有的流浪者救助机构 ‎都设在这里 Almost all of our homeless services are located in this one area.
所以如果你无家可归 需要帮助 你唯一能去的地方 So the only place to really go if you're homeless and want assistance
就是游民巷 is Skid Row.
这里成了垃圾场 And it's become a dumping ground.
人们从监狱或者精神病院出来 After people are released from prison or jail or from a mental facility,
就会被送到游民巷 they are dropped off on Skid Row,
因为市政府希望确保这些人出来以后 because the city wanted to make sure that these types of people
仍然与洛杉矶其他区域隔离开 remain separated from the rest of Los Angeles.
20世纪70年代早期 In the early 1970s,
市政府想出了这个计划 the city came out with this plan.
封闭政策 The policy of containment.
别站在大街上 Get out of the street!
封闭政策像是一个实验 Containment was like an experiment of,
"本市其他地区的一切不良社会现象 "Let's see if we can contain anything bad
‎我们都把它隔离管理起来…" going on in the rest of the city…"
快走 后退 一直往后退 Let's go, move back. All the way back.
"…送到游民巷" "…and direct it to Skid Row."
仿佛他们在周围挖了一道人工的城壕 It was like they just put an artificial moat around this place.
现在 警察又设置了真正的路障 And now the police are literally there with a barrier
禁止无家可归者离开 stopping the homeless population from being allowed to leave.
但是 在游民巷以内 ‎仿佛是一片狂野的西部 But within this border of Skid Row, it's the Wild West.
只要不越界 就可以放任自流 Within the boundaries, it was kind of like, um, a free-for-all,
人们可以在街上睡觉 where people were allowed to sleep on the streets,
买毒品 buy drugs,
出卖肉体 sell their bodies.
游民巷有庞大的吸毒人口 You have a huge drug population on Skid Row.
很多人患有精神疾病 You have a huge population of mental illness.
在这里 人们被允许受苦 This is a space where people are allowed to just suffer.
这种社会病表现在街头… And this manifests itself on the street
就是犯罪与暴力 as crime and violence.
我是一名侦查警司 I'm a detective sergeant.
我在游民巷执行过几次任务 I did a couple different tours in Skid Row,
处理街头犯罪 addressing just street crime.
可能是制止酒吧里的打架斗殴… So that could be breaking up a bar brawl…
或者逮捕一个‎挥舞着大刀在街上裸奔的人 or arresting someone that's buck naked running down the street with a machete.
一次我看见有人抓住一只鸽子 ‎我眼看着他 Burned in my memory is a guy holding a live pigeon.
把鸽子送进嘴里 一口把头咬掉 And I'm looking at him while he put it in his mouth,
鲜血四溅 you know, rips its head off,
那景象我永生难忘 blood squirting all over.
有人在街上走着 就被打死了 People have been killed just walking down the street
有人发了疯 and someone is raging.
任何人都可能遭遇不测… Anybody's vulnerable…
如果你是一个来自外国的天真女孩 especially if you're a naive girl from some other country
以为这里都是鲜花和阳光 ‎那就更危险了 who's here thinking that it's all peaches and roses.
这很误导人 It's…Uh, it's misleading.
如果蓝可儿晚上一个人出去 If Elisa is out at night by herself,
‎那么她很可能成为受害者 she could easily become a victim.
她是不是被绑架了 ‎是不是被强行带到了哪里 Is it possible she was abducted and she's being held against her will?
所以 我们开始‎寻找当地最有嫌疑的人 So we were looking into who in the area could be a person of interest.
她在旅途中遇见的人 Someone she had met during her travels,
或者在酒店遇见的人 or somebody that she met at the hotel.
在酒店 Over at the hotel…
调查人员得知 这里有监控录像 the investigators became aware that there was security footage.
酒店大堂和电梯里有摄像头 The hotel has cameras in the lobby and the elevators,
酒店门前也有 the front of the hotel,
大多数公共区域 you know, most of the common areas.
我们开始查看他们的监控系统 When we started to look at their…their video systems,
我们发现 不是每层都有摄像头 we find out that not all floors have video cameras,
蓝可儿住的那一层就没有 and that there is no camera on Elisa's floor.
这些摄像头的位置也不都是最佳 And the positions of these cameras weren't always in the greatest position,
录像的质量也不都很好 or the quality of the video itself was not that great.
怎么才能辨认出她来 这成了大海捞针 So now it's kind of a needle in a haystack of how we can identify her.
有很多录像要看 There was a lot of video footage to review.
好几天的录像 长达数百小时 Days' worth. Hundreds of hours.
我们决定 "必须一分钟一分钟地看" We decided, "We have to watch this minute for minute."
这个任务交给了我和我的搭档 My partner and I were assigned that task.
管理层给了我们一间小办公室 Management gave us a little office
我们每天一坐就是20个小时 and we sat there, uh, for 20 hours a day,
看录像 watching video.
我们重点看蓝可儿失踪的那个晚上 We focused on the night of Elisa's disappearance.
你不希望错过任何东西 The last thing you want to do is miss something.
那是一项很累人的任务 It was just a laborious, laborious task.
看谁来了 谁走了 蓝可儿在哪儿 Continually watching to see who's coming, who's going, where's Elisa?
突然 And all of a sudden…
我们在镜头中看到她了 we see her on camera.
我们俩跳了起来 And we both just jumped,
都想按录像机上的暂停键 both wanting to hit pause on the, uh, DVR.
他抢先按到了 因为他比我年轻 And he beat me because he's younger.
那一刻我们很兴奋 ‎因为终于有了线索 It was a moment of excitement because it's something to work with.
可以顺藤摸瓜 It's a piece.
但我记得 当时我对我的搭档说 But I remember…talking to my partner, saying…
"她的举止很异常" "Her behavior is unusual."
所以 我们坐下来反复看了几遍录像 So we sat there and we…we watched the video several times,
然后 我们推理出她有可能去了哪里 and then plotted out where she could have gone
她是否离开了酒店 何时离开的 to try to figure out if she left, when she left,
以及她是否是和某人一起离开的 and if she left with somebody.
我们看了所有的录像 In reviewing all the footage
看了所有出入酒店的录像 and watching the…the exiting and entrance…
完全没有看到她离开 we never saw her leave.
我们与同事进行了沟通 And we communicated that to our peers,
告诉他们 我们觉得她还在酒店里‎某个地方 that we felt that she's still here, somewhere.
她并未离开酒店 She never left the hotel.
所以 So…
如果她没有离开 if she never left,
那她会在哪里呢 then where could she be?
在酒店里 谁会是嫌疑人呢 Or who within the hotel could be a potential suspect?
谁会伤害蓝可儿 Who could have either hurt Elisa,
或者控制了她 or has her under their control?
我想蓝可儿走入了一种 I think that Elisa Lam walked into a situation
意料之外的状况 that was very different from what she expected.
你不知道酒店里都住着些什么人 You really don't know who is sharing this environment.
每天有形形色色的人入住塞西尔酒店 So many different types of people check into the Cecil on a regular basis.
这里可以说是个大车店 I mean, it was somewhat of a flop house.
我们的有些住客是些穷困潦倒的人 For some of our guests, there's some despair going on.
游客可能不知道 Tourists probably don't realize,
但对那些付不起押金 ‎无法通过背景核查的人来说 but the Cecil Hotel is an alternative to apartment living
塞西尔酒店提供了‎租住公寓之外的另一个选择 for people who don't have a deposit, can't pass a background check.
他们不想让人知道他们在哪儿 They don't want someone knowing where they are.
所以它对刚出狱的人或者 And so it attracts people who are fresh out of prison…
逃亡途中的人来说很有吸引力 people who are on the run.
和你一起乘电梯的可能是个有性犯罪前科的人 The person who's in the elevator with you might be an 85-year-old sex offender
‎他没地方去 只能住这里 who can't live anywhere else.
有时候这挺吓人的 Sometimes it was scary.
我们面临很多安全问题 We were faced with a lot of security and safety issues.
我在那十年中 遇到过成千上万次打报警电话的情况 In the then years that I worked there, there were thousands of 911 calls.
成千上万 Thousands.
因为你知道 你需要帮助 Because, you know, you need help.
我在这里巡逻的时候每天至少接一到三个 When I was on patrol out here, you could expect at least
‎塞西尔酒店打来的报警电话 one to three calls a day at the Cecil.
‎10-4 97 10-4, 97.
我记得有人在走廊里放火 I remember somebody trying to, um, burn down the hallways.
我们会接到家庭暴力一类的电话 We would, uh, get domestic violence type of calls…
或者有人嗑药不慎导致身体不适 …or someone just shot up drugs and having a bad trip.
会有殴斗发生 你知道 拿刀动杖的 Fights would erupt. You know, assaults, stabbings.
有一天天气极热 One of the hottest days…
当时是8月 …it was in August.
我们发现一具尸体 ‎简直就像麦当劳奶昔大哥一样 And the body we found kind of looked, um, like Grimace from McDonald's.
全都紫了 看不出来是什么种族 Completely purple. Wouldn't know what race he was.
严重肿胀 好像要爆炸了一样 And his body like about to explode, it was so distended.
简直是人间地狱 It was hell on earth, basically.
有一次我带人参观 There was a circumstance where I was giving a tour
走廊上有个狙击手 and there was a sniper in the…in the hallway.
真正的警察狙击手 端着一杆大枪 Like, a real police sniper with a freaking… a big gun.
他说 "回你房间去" The guy looks at me, "Ma'am, get in your room,"
有个人用刀捅了人 现在还在楼里‎没有抓到呢 there's a person that's stabbed somebody loose inside the building.
塞西尔酒店有很多可怕的人 There were a lot of creepy people at the Cecil.
有些女客住在这里 There were women staying there
她们报告说‎在公用卫生间里有人偷窥 who reported believing being spied on in the shared bathrooms.
此外还有游客 Then you mix in the tourist element.
真是什么样的人都有 That's a huge mix of people.
可以想象 蓝可儿一定有些招架不住 I could see Elisa, uh, being overwhelmed.
我不知道她住进这种酒店‎能不能应付得了 I don't know if she was equipped to fully function in a hotel like that.
蓝可儿失踪一周后
探员们知道 没有录像显示 Since the detectives knew that there was no video footage
蓝可儿离开塞西尔酒店 of Elisa leaving the Cecil…
所以调查人员不得不搜查整个酒店 investigators had to search throughout the entire hotel.
如果她处境危险 And you've got to try to locate her as quickly as possible
那么必须尽快找到她 保护她的安全 in order to protect her, you know, should she be in harm's way.
我们觉得她一定‎就在酒店里的什么地方 We felt that she has to be in here, somewhere.
我们大约14个人‎奉命对酒店进行深入搜查 Approximately 14 of us were asked to do an intense search of the hotel.
酒店很大 It's a very large hotel,
我们都料到 一定会干到很晚 and we were all anticipating a very long night.
我们只有一次机会 一定要干好 We get one shot at this. Let's do it right.
你必须一个房间一个房间地检查 You would have to go from room to
‎两个房间之间的地方也要查 room to room and everything in between that.
我说 "这里有600多个壁橱" I said, "Well, we have over 600 closets here, you know."
好吧 我们都来检查一下" I mean, okay. Well, let's look at 'em all."
经理让我们两个人负责一层 The manager had two of us on one floor,
为警察打开房间 unlocking doors for the officers.
壁橱 厕所 一切都要检查 Closets and toilets and everything.
直到所有的门都开了 所有的 Until all the doors were opened, all of them,
包括地下室和那里的寄物柜 including the basement, in the lockers that were there as well.
每个角落都找遍了 Looking, literally, under every crack and crevice
任何一个可能藏人的地方 of where a body could be hidden, where could someone be stowed.
他们开始询问"垃圾是什么时间运出去的" They started asking questions. "When does garbage go out?"
‎你们的员工几点开始 你们进出走哪个门" Your employees, what time do they start? What doors do they come in and out of?"
‎我心里想 "什么 And I started thinking to myself, "What?
天呐 你们认为‎她是被装在垃圾箱里抬出去的" Oh, my gosh. What, do you think she left in a dumpster?"
我们决定调来嗅迹警犬 It was decided that we would call out scent-tracking dogs.
他们会拿一件物品 比如衣服 袜子 They will take an item such as a piece of clothing, a sock,
带有失踪者气味的东西 something that will pick up the person's scent.
警犬在酒店里闻了个遍 The dogs are led throughout the hotel.
最终 Eventually…
警犬嗅到了来自蓝可儿房间的气味 the dog was able to locate the scent from Elisa's room.
你看到一线希望 "可能有线索了" You get that little heartbeat like, "Oh, we might be onto something."
在五楼 On the fifth floor…
警犬一路向西搜索 the dog tracked in a westbound direction
找到一扇大窗户 ‎窗户开在走廊一端 外面是大街 towards a big window that looks out from the hallway onto the street,
窗外有火灾逃生通道 and outside the window, there is a fire escape.
但是 However…
气味在那里消失了 that's where the scent was lost.
所有人都在加班加点 ‎可能每天工作14到16个小时 By that time, everybody was on overtime, probably going into a 14 to 16-hour day.
一组探员带着警犬到楼顶搜查 A team of detectives with canines
他们叫来了洛杉矶警局空中支援分队 was assigned to search the roof. So they called in LAPD air support division.
让他们用探照灯… And they had them illuminate the top of the hotel…
照亮酒店楼顶 using their night sun.
他们在楼顶寻找蓝可儿‎或者任何线索 And they searched up there for…for Elisa and/or evidence
结果什么也没找到 and didn't find anything.
这成了一个未解之谜 她在哪儿 This is the big, unanswered question. Where is she?
传统上 经过两周没找到 ‎其结果一般就是命案 Traditionally, the outcome after two weeks is probably it's homicide,
找到失踪者的希望就会越来越小 and the chances of finding that subject really whittle down.
夜深了 It had gotten late in the evening.
将近晚上10点 It was close to 10:00 p.m. at night.
我们决定 第二天我们重新集结 And it was decided that the following day, uh, we would regroup.
但是 第二天一早搜查之后 But the following morning, after the search,
洛杉矶警局发布了战术警报 the LAPD went on tac alert,
因为又发生了新的警情 because a different investigation came into play.
战术小队奔赴南加州九个县 Tactical teams spread across nine counties in Southern California.
洛杉矶警局说 他们今晚与一个 LAPD says they are at war tonight
袭击警察的人展开了激战 with a man who is targeting law enforcement officers.
‎据称 33岁的克里斯朵夫·多纳杀害了警员 Thirty-three-year-old Christopher Dorner, said to be a cop-killer,
他说只要自己活着 就不会停止杀戮 has said he will not stop the killing until he's dead.
克里斯朵夫·多纳曾经是洛杉矶警察 Christopher Dorner was a former Los Angeles police officer.
洛杉矶警察和前同事打起来了 LAPD was under attack by one of their own.
所以 第二天早上 警局决定 So, the next morning it was decided
两名带队的探员和我以及我的搭档 that the two lead investigators with myself and my partner
继续办蓝可儿的案子 其他人 would stay on the Elisa Lam case, while everybody else,
他们首要的责任是处理多纳的案子 their primary responsibility was the Dorner investigation,
那件事更要紧 which was a higher priority.
所以 我们从18个探员变成了四个 So we went from about 18 detectives down to four.
这改变了我们办案的动态 And that changed the dynamics of our investigation.
对酒店的地毯式搜查毫无结果 And since there was no information that was developed out of the canvas,
我们又回到了原点 now we're back to square one.
他们再也找不出更多答案了 They really don't have any other answers.
所以你希望公众可以提供协助 So now you're hoping that the public can assist you.
我们需要公众的协助 ‎帮我们在大街小巷寻找线索 We need the public's help to put more eyes out on the street.
我们手上有蓝可儿失踪前的‎最后一段视频 The last footage that we had of Elisa before her disappearance
视频显示 她当时在电梯里 was the footage we found of her inside the elevator.
所以我们决定公开这段视频 So it was decided that we would release the video.
为了给她家人一个交代 ‎我们必须找到她 We owe it to the family to find her.
我们没有足够的资源 We don't have the resources.
没什么可考虑的 ‎所以我们就发出去了 It was a no-brainer. So we put it out.
从那时起 案件开始节外生枝 That's where the case starts to go askew.
蓝可儿失踪后第13天
视频的最初版本‎出现在洛杉矶警局的网站上 The initial version of the video comes out on LAPD's website.
作为油管用户 As a YouTuber,
约翰·洛丹 油管用户
我在网上找内容 看到了这段视频 I was looking into content, and I saw the elevator video.
那段视频有四分钟 It's a four-minute video,
但是在那么短的时间里 ‎发生了那么多事 but there's so much that's going on in such a short time frame.
所有人都被吸引了 Everyone is just captured by it.
门开了 一名女性走进来 The doors open and a woman walks in.
她挥动一只胳膊 随意地弯下腰‎去看电梯按钮 She's swinging one arm up, bends over casually to look at the panel,
然后她把中间那一列按钮全部按亮 and she's firing down the whole center row of buttons,
然后自己站到电梯角落里 and then moves to the corner of the elevator.
她看上去好像很放松 She looks like she is relaxed.
她把头探出电梯 快速地两边张望 She pokes her head out and whips her head both ways.
然后她向后退缩 躲进角落里 And then she's retreating back and is tucked away into the corner.
她不断向外张望 看她右侧的拐角处 She kept looking outside the door, around the corner to her right.
然后 她走出电梯 Then she would come out of the elevator…
突然地跳出来 and she would pop up.
她迈着奇怪的步子 ‎好像是方块舞的步伐 She's making these strange steps in almost this square dance motion,
反复多次进出电梯门 Stepping back and forth in the door.
她往左侧移动 你看不见她 She'd go to the left, then you wouldn't see her.
只能看到她的一部分手臂 Then all you can see is a little bit of her arm.
电梯为什么一动不动 Why is the elevator not going anywhere?
有人按住了某个按钮‎让电梯停在那里吗 Is someone pressing a button and keeping the elevator here?
这时 奇怪的事情发生了 That's when the weird stuff starts happening.
蓝可儿开始按那些按钮 Elisa starts pressing these buttons.
你不禁想 You have to wonder,
"你为什么按下‎所有那些不同楼层的按钮" "Why are you hitting all these floors like that?"
她用手理了理头发 She was running her fingers through her hair a bit.
她双手的动作十分诡异 Her hand movements are very strange and erratic.
她挥动双手 好像在招魂 She's waving her hands. It's like she's conjuring a spirit
又好像在向某人比划什么 or, like, acting something out to someone.
你可以看到她的肢体动作扭来扭去 You can see the body movements…twisting and turning.
现在 她又好像在掰着手指数数 And now she appears to be counting with her fingers.
这些行为太奇怪了 It's just such bizarre behavior.
她从电梯左侧离开 突然不见了 She exits to the left of the elevator, and then, all of a sudden, she's gone.
你会想 "就是这样了" You think, "That's the end of it."
眼前只有一部空荡荡的电梯 But you're just looking at an empty elevator.
到底怎么回事 What the hell's going on here?
大约两分半钟的时候 ‎她就从镜头里消失了 She's literally not in the video past about the 2:30 mark.
不知为什么 ‎这一部分视频也被包括在内 And for some reason, that's also been released as part of this.
其中一件怪事就是 蓝可儿在 One strange thing is that
‎电梯里的那段时间 电梯门始终没关 the whole time Elisa is in there, the door never shuts.
现在 它很快地关上了 And now it shuts very quickly.
这让你真是百思不得其解 It's one of those things that makes you scratch your head and say,
"好奇怪啊" "Hmm, this is kind of weird."
门又开了 The door opens back up.
还是没什么动静 Still nothing happens.
好像一个四分钟的鬼片 It's like a mini-ghost story built into four minutes.
故事讲的是一个女孩坐电梯 And the story is about a girl who gets into an elevator.
电梯出了故障 The elevator isn't working properly.
女孩有些焦急慌乱 最终离开了 The girl starts having some type of distress and leaves,
然后 电梯突然又恢复了正常 and then, all of a sudden, the elevator goes back to normal operation.
为什么 Why?
还有什么线索我没有看到吗 Is there a missing clue here that I'm not seeing?
还是发生了什么超自然事件 Or is there something supernatural happening here?
很难说这里没有发生什么 It's hard to say there isn't something extremely dark and bizarre
极其阴森诡异的事 that's going on there.
最后 视频在3分59秒时结束了 And then at 3:59, the video ends.
我想多数人看了这段视频都知道他们看到的是什么 I think most people who are seeing this video know what they're looking at.
他们看到的是一名女性在失踪前 They're looking at the last known footage
‎留下的据我们所知的最后一段视频 of a woman who's disappeared.
考虑到这层因素 And with that context in mind,
警方无意中‎把案子变成了一个神秘事件 the police unwittingly, like, turned it into a mystery.
人们渴望揭开谜底 People were just dying to solve it.
我不认为洛杉矶警局知道 I don't think that the LAPD really recognized,
他们把这段视频公开能得到什么 when they released that video, what they were gonna get in return.
一名女性在加州失踪 本案的调查又有新消息 Now to a new development in the search for a woman missing in California.
关于21岁的蓝可儿 洛杉矶警局 The LAPD has released bizarre surveillance
‎公布了一段怪异的监控录像 footage of 21-year-old Elisa Lam.
那段视频一发出来 我就看了 I saw the elevator footage as soon as it was released.
约翰·索布哈尼 网络侦探
我们完全有理由‎对当时发生的事起疑心 There was reason to be suspicious as to what happened.
这个故事吸引了我 And I was drawn in by the story.
这段视频来自塞西尔酒店的监控录像 The footage is from a security camera at the Cecil Hotel,
时间就在她失踪前不久 just before she went missing.
-警方一筹莫展 ‎-警方很担心 -Police are struggling… -Police are getting worried.
-…案情毫无进展 ‎-蓝可儿到底出了什么事 -…a standstill… -What happened to Elisa?
任何人如果有线索 ‎我们都希望他能站出来 We're hoping anyone with information comes forward.
现在 洛杉矶警局面向社会寻求帮助 Now the LAPD is asking for your help
‎他们担心会有最坏的结果 and fearing for the worst.
我们知道我们必须帮忙 We knew we had to help.
不管真相埋藏得多么深 不管有多难 And no matter how deep it went or how difficult it might be, we knew…
我们知道 我们必须把她活着找回来 we had to find her alive.
门关上了 从此再也没有人看到她 The door closes, and she's never seen again.
