The first entry in Netflix's new contemporary true-crime series focuses on the Cecil Hotel in LA, where many strange occurrences happened.
Out of all of the questionable happenings, however, it is the case of vanishing hotel guest Elisa Lam that will play a pivotal part of 'Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel'.
Joe Berlinger, the creator of 'Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes' and 'Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich', comes the first entry in a brand new docu-series for the streaming service.
'The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel' will focus on the disappearance of the hotel guest, who was last seen inside of the hotel's elevator. As you can see in the trailer below, the camera shows her acting erratically, before nobody heard from her ever again.
Here's the trailer.
The synopsis for the Netflix doc reads: "For nearly a century the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles has been linked to some of the city’s most notorious activity, from untimely deaths to housing serial killers. In 2013 college student Elisa Lam was staying at the Cecil when she vanished, igniting a media frenzy and mobilizing a global community of internet sleuths eager to solve the case. Lam’s disappearance, the latest chapter in the hotel’s complex history, offers a chilling and captivating lens into one of LA’s most nefarious settings."
'Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel' arrives on Netflix February 10.
