B.C. Woman Found in a Water Tank

                                            

Elisa Lam body was discovered Tuesday in a water tank at the Cecil Hotel, L.A. Lam, 21 years old, was staying at the Cecil Hotel where she went missing on Jan.23 2013 last seen by an employee of the hotel.


Lam traveled to California alone on Jan. 26 from Vancouver B.C. Police believe there was "foul play" in the death of Lam because where she was found and what great lengths it takes to access the hotels water tank. To get to the tanks, someone would have to go to the top floor then take a staircase with a locked door and emergency alarm preventing roof access. Another ladder would have to be taken to the platform and a person would have to climb the side of the tank.


The body was discovered after many complaints by hotel guest due to low water pressure. The tanks provide water for all of the hotel taps and would have been used by guests for washing and drinking. The water was tested by the department of public health and said to be safe. 


Hotel security cameras showed her getting onto the hotel elevator and popping her head out looking both ways.


This hotel had been the home of a few infamous serial killers at one point.

Women Charged for Theft & Fraud

Elizabeth Sherwood, a resident of Kelowna, is receiving charges for theft, fraud and uttering forged documents. Sherwood took nearly $23 000 from Okanagan Mission Secondary School fundraising funds.  This account was maintained by parents outside the school for the Okanagan Mission School band. Sherwood was the treasurer of this account. When the other parents saw some unplanned withdrawals and irregular activity last February they contacted the police. When the police investigated this account they found 37 forged cheques within the time period of May 2010 and August 2011. The forged cheques added up to be $22 894.12.
Elizabeth Sherwood will appear in court on May 12. She faces charges of theft over $5000, uttering forged documents and fraud over $5000. 

This relates to Law 12 because theft is a crime and she will have to go to court for her actions.
How I See It....

In my opinion, Sherwood should face these charges. Sherwood must of needed the money badly for her to steal from her own children and friends. $23 000 is a lot of money.
