Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (2021) is a four-part Netflix docu-series about the disappearance of Canadian tourist Elisa Lam in 2013. Directed by Joe Berlinger, the series begins as if it is a traditional true-crime series, setting up a mystery around Lam's disappearance and death. However, her death was ruled an accidental drowning, and the show delves into the sordid history of The Cecil Hotel and Los Angeles's Skid Row neighborhood and the toxic culture created by internet sleuths who, based on little evidence and their own fantasies, spread conspiracy theories about Lam's death.The series debunks many of the common myths around the Lam case and defends the police, coroner, hotel staff, and a Mexican death metal musician who were all the subject of conspiracy theories and unfounded accusations. The series received mixed reviews with critics applauding the series's intentions but complaining it was unnecessarily drawn out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Advertised Extra: Richard Ramirez, The Night Stalker, stayed at The Cecil in the 1980s. This is heavily highlighted in the trailer but only mentioned in passing in the series. | |

Agent Mulder: Many of the internet sleuths qualify as this. Rather than accept rational explanations, they see the supernatural and won't be dissuaded. The series makes it clear that in real life, unlike in fiction, such thinking is very unhelpful. | |

Black Metal: Morbid is a self-described Black Metal musician. The dark themes in his work cause him to be suspected of killing Lam, despite having a solid alibi. | |

Amateur Sleuth: Lam's death becomes a sensation for many self-appointed web sleuths. Despite many of them not having access to all the evidence or even being in Los Angeles, they develop many theories. Several youtubers are shown enthusiastically exploring the hotel. In the end, they do not solve anything and are the opposite of helpful. | |
