The recording shows that Lam enters the elevator and presses the button, but the doors do not close. This strange video instantly spread on the Internet and attracted the attention of the general public - it's all about the strange behavior of the girl. On this day, the police published in There is a video of Eliza trying to get into the elevator at the hotel. Nevertheless, Orfen's story did not help the investigation in any way - the police continued to comb the streets, put up leaflets with photos of the disappeared girl, interview witnesses, but the case did not move from a dead point until February 14. The only person who had spoken to Eliza in the days before her disappearance was an employee of the souvenir shop, Kathy Orfen, who worked on the day when Lam bought souvenirs. The policemen interviewed the hotel staff, the former neighbors of the missing girl, employees of neighboring shops and cafes, but no one could give any worthwhile information about her whereabouts. From that day, an active search for Lam began, which, however, did not give any result. On January 31, Eliza was supposed to contact her parents, but they did not wait for their daughter's call, after which they decided to report her disappearance to the city police and come to Los Angeles themselves. It is known that at first Lam lived in a room for several people, which was located on the fifth floor of the hotel, but soon she was moved to a separate room, because her neighbors complained about the "strange behavior" of the girl. Then the story of Eliza is known from the words of witnesses and eyewitnesses - after checking into the hotel, the girl did not publish new posts and did not communicate with her parents. In recent posts on her blog, Lam shared pictures from the zoo in San Diego with subscribers, and then, on January 28, she announced that she had settled in the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles.

In 2010, Eliza even started her own personal blog, in which she shared with subscribers the details of her personal life and how she was struggling with the disease, and two years later, shortly before her disappearance, she said that she had a relapse, and she was not feeling the best. The only thing that overshadowed the girl's life was a mental illness - as it became known later, Lam suffered from bipolar disorder and had to take medications to avoid worsening her condition. Lam preferred to explore the world alone, regularly visiting different cities and countries. Little is known about the girl's life before the incident - according to the testimonies of her parents and friends, Eliza was a kind and sympathetic person, she loved to study, and her special passion was traveling.
