An episode of her Bi-Polar seems likely in the lift, over possession and AN Other being there. But that's the known/unknown.
How did she get up to the top of the watertank, strip and get in and then close the lid? Via the fire exits? Psychotic disorders could give the strength, no doubt. How would she know about the tanks? How would a perp bar local know about the tanks? Once on the roof, other suicide methods are easier and quicker? Mentions of meeting people from the internet. All ponderers plod would have covered as not read any more,but now going to to do and err watch a few youtubes for backgroud, not research.
See, in real terms you'd be very surprised at what nutters will do. There's frequently no sense whatever that you could relate to and since they weren't even planning it themselves they might go through a series of unlikely random stages before ending up in that final one.
As far as we know she might have regularly gone nosing round maintain maintainance areas and climbing into various boxes cupboards and tanks , but up till that particular night nothing of note happened. I recall a man who got into a food processing plant over the weekend and fed himself into an MRM machine, which if you don't know is a horrible bloody thing which grinds and minced meat into a kind of fine paste for hot dogs and things.
There's always going to be some element of doubt in cases like that, but what you're looking for before you can start calling it murder is some evidencial fact which proves the involvement of a third party. That's why the LAPD took so long to call it - because you'd investigate it four ways from Friday and look at forensics and PM reports before making a decision. It's unlikely that such a process , which is quite painstaking, would fail to find at least one "indicator" of the sort I've mentioned there, but of course it's possible .
I've had cases where I couldn't support a gut feeling despite all this and yet had to write it off for lack of evidence. In one of them, which had been written off as an accident two years previously a man walked into a police station in central London asking to see me and confessed to killing the victim. He'd gone on the run two years earlier after I called to see him about the original incident and he'd been convinced in his own mind that we had some evidence , which we didn't as I said, but just by the by, I always was convinced it was him.
