  • Keyes Emily (September 12, 1990 - September 27, 2006) Emily was a kind and spirited young girl who attended Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado. On the morning of September 27, 2006, Duane Morrison armed with fire arms and a suspected bomb walked into the high school and took seven female students hostage including Emily. During the hostage crisis, several if not all of the students were sexually assaulted. After letting several students free, Morrison still held Emily and another girl inside the school. At approximately 3:45 PM, the police burst through the door. Morrison was using Emily as a human shield while he was shooting at the policemen. As Emily tried to escape and run, Morrison shot her in the back of the head. He then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. Sadly, Emily had texted her parents during the hostage crisis by saying " I love U guys" and "I love U guys. k?"  Please visit and donate to  the I Love U Guys Foundation which was set up to restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities.

  • Lam, Elisa: (April 30, 1991 - February 2013) Lam was a Canadian tourist, who on February 19, 2013, was discovered dead in a water storage tank on the top of the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Lam who was a student at the University of British Columbia was discovered after being missing for several weeks. She was last seen on January 31, 2013.  She was last seen on surveillance footage getting into an elevator at the hotel; however, the footage entails a series of mysterious and bizarre behaviors by Lam which to this day are contributing to several theories that her death was not an accident. Lam had a history of bipolar disorder which many say Lam kept a secret. The behaviors Lam exhibited in the elevator surveillance footage could be attributed a psychotic or bipolar event. On February 19, 2013, residents of the hotel complained of a foul smell and taste to the water. When a maintenance worker went to investigate, Lam's body was discovered in one of the water storage tanks. What many do not understand is how Lam got onto the hotel roof and then into the water tank. The doors accessing the roof top were supposedly locked; however, the roof is easily accessible by fire escape. The water tank which Lam was found was one of four tanks situated on the roof of the Cecil Hotel.  Each tank was a 4 x 8 foot cylinder propped up on concrete blocks. There was no direct access to the top of the tank as workers needed a ladder to access the top hatch. The hatch itself was unsecured and could easily be opened. When found, Lam was naked with all of her clothes and shoes in the tank with her.  Did she do this herself or was there some foul play or sexual assault? Was she suffering an acute mental event or under the influence of drugs? The autopsy report states a sexual assault kit was performed; however, there are no results listed. The physical exam portion of the autopsy did not reveal any trauma or sexual assault.  Toxicology testing only revealed traces of her prescription medications and over the counter medications. No illicit drugs were found in her system. Was there a cover-up? Some say the surveillance footage seems to be grainy and possible edited? Lam's cell phone was never found.  The official autopsy report listed the cause of death as an accident due to drowning as bipolar disorder a significant condition attributing t her death.  Watch the surveillance video from the elevator. There seems to be a time lapse in the video.

  • Ramsey, JonBenet: (August 6, 1990 - December 25, 1996) JonBenét was an outstanding young beauty pageant star who was found murdered in the basement of her family's home on December 26, 1996. Her mother, Patricia Ramsey, noticed that JonBenét was missing and later found a ransom note demanding that a large sum of money be delivered in return for her daughter. After a extensive search, the Boulder, Colorado Police Department suggested that JonBenét 's father and family friends return to the house to look for anything unusual that may lead to his daughter's whereabouts. JonBenét's body was discovered covered in a blanket in the family's home. According to the autopsy, JonBenét was strangulated and suffered severe cranial trauma. The official cause of her death was asphyxiation due to strangulation associated with cranio-cerebral trauma. There was no evidence of break-in or forced entry into the family's household and there continues to be questions surrounding JonBenét's mysterious death. There have been several hypotheses regarding what happened in the Ramsey household that evening including accusations that Patricia Ramsey killed JonBenét in a fit of rage because her daughter wet her bed; and the possibility that her father, John Ramsey, was sexually abusing his daughter. Thus far, these speculations and accusations are unfounded as the case is still unsolved. In December 2003, forensic investigators extracted enough DNA from a blood sample obtained from JonBenét's underwear to establish a DNA profile that narrowed the search to that of a unknown male. JonBenét is buried in Saint James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, Georgia.
