Zachary Pittman

Young Man Disappears Turns Up Dead
Foot Prints At The Rivers Edge :

Shortly after 11 p.m. on June 24, Zachary Pittman, 26, called his mother to say that he had gotten into a verbal argument with his sister over who would be living at the home. She called the police. When the police arrived, Pittman was gone. He had left the home with the clothes he was wearing and a backpack containing his wallet with little to no money inside and one change of clothes. Pittman, who had a three year old daughter, lived in a sparsely populated part of Pearl River, La., and did not own a car or cell phone. His mother, Christy Ragas, said her son would've had nowhere to go.

Ragas told the St. Tammany Sidell Sentry that her son had fallen on hard times. He was desperate and out of work and he had gotten mixed up in drugs. She said he was no angel, but “he was a human being and he was a good dad.” She added that they were very close and he called her often.

“Zach would never leave me no matter what,” she said.

Pittman's remains were found May 31, 2011 in a heavily wooded area of the Mossy Oak Hunting Club north of Louisiana 36, in St. Tammany and did not appear to have been buried. The remains were identified through dental records. The Coroner's Office has not yet determined the cause or manner of Pittman's death, Croft said. Because of the state of the remains, the office plans to bring in a forensic anthropologist from Louisiana State University to aid in the investigation, she said.

According to a post by Simon Barrett of Blogger News Network, "Pearl River is a small community, the population is approximately 2,000 people. It is a community where everyone knows everyone. Yet no one is talking about Zachary Pittman. It stretches my fertile imagination that a man accustomed to the area would wander off into one of the local swamps and die."

NOLA :

The skeletal remains found near Pearl River over the weekend belong to a man who went missing two years ago, authorities said Tuesday.

Zachary Pittman was 25 when he was reported missing in June 2009. Authorities were able to identify the remains, which were found in the Mossy Oak Hunting Club north of Louisiana 36, based on dental records, said Melanie Croft, executive Director of the St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office.

The Coroner's Office has not yet determined the cause or manner of Pittman's death, Croft said. Because of the state of the remains, the office plans to bring in a forensic anthropologist from Louisiana State University to aid in the investigation, she said.

A pair of residents found the remains over the weekend and notified authorities, Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. George Bonnett said. Deputies and staff from the Coroner's Office spent Sunday and Monday combing the area for bones and other evidence, he said.

The remains were found in an area of St. Tammany that is so heavily wooded deputies could not bring in vehicles to aid in the search, Bonnett said. They did not appear to have been buried, he said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This large number of missing or murdered men is amazing to me and has become a feature of my current work. One right after the other lately. Some of them seem to be connected, such as those that are marked by the "smiley faces" and others seem to keep cropping up in the same area. Although it is not the same city, this is the second one from Louisiana in a few weeks now.

The first chart I ran was for the time he was last seen. It appears to support the argument that has been documented, this with a sibling as shown by the third house in this chart. Mercury in Gemini in the fourth shows two people close to the same age living in the same home. This works with the information that he and his sister argued in the home (mars in the third) and he left. Seventh house ruler in the fifth at this point intimates that his sister wanted to share space with him (maybe even a bedroom?) and he did not want that. Uranus ruling the first and placed in the first shows us that this was a rash, sudden decision but that it was his decision and he was not forced. Neptune in this chart and in the next chart, shows me that he was hiding something from everyone and that he had plans no one else knew anything about. Zachary had secrets, good or bad. And the saddest marker in this chart is the Moon in the sixth house, a traditional marker for someone who will never be seen alive again.

The next chart for an hour later, midnight, shows someone picked him up in a car and he was secretive about where he was going (Neptune with Jupiter in the twelfth and seventh house ruler in the third). Saturn at the seventh shows someone older driving the other car. Pluto in the tenth opposing Sun in the fourth tells me he was not really wanted where he was going. There was resistance and maybe even an argument. Moon in the fifth in Leo may mean he was friends with a younger person in that same home. This person may even have been a girlfriend or someone he had an interest in. He may have had plans to share this persons' quarters in the house and the older person was objecting. The Moon, in turn, is disposed of by the Sun in the fourth house emphasizes this point.

Uranus continuing to be disposed of by Neptune, now in the twelfth house, seems to indicate that even when he was asked to leave, he sneaked back into that home. Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception along with the Moon opposing the node is a combination describing a plan that met opposition but was acted on anyways. Was there a girl in Zachary's life? Or was there one he knew and admired from afar? There does seem to be a girl involved in this so far. With the Moon and Sun in mutual reception, it would seem that she was receptive, even if others in the home were not.

The chart for 2 am shows a definite hook up with a female. His marker, first house ruler Mars, is together with the seventh house ruler, Venus, in the first. His ruler is disposed of by her ruler. Pretty clear. Anyways, the only problem I have with this is the closeness of these planets to certain fixed stars. That will have to be watched as the charts progress.

Zachary's ruler remains in the first house, which shows him in charge of events. Aries on the first cusp with Mars in the first makes for a dynamic combination. Mars with Venus while Venus rules the seventh, shows the young man directing the female and making plans. The north node in the tenth house indicates that he has plans for another location for them and that they may have been planning on that.

It is important, if people are trying to find out what actually happened to Zachary, to discover who the female friend or girlfriend was. There was a girl he was close to and this is where he went when he left his family home.

In the chart for 4 am we see aspects and placements that clearly have them at a new location. Either they are still together or Zachary has moved on his own. You see his ruler, Mercury, in the first house, which shows him still making decisions and doing what he wants to. Mercury in Gemini implies involvement with another, which is why I think she might still be with him. But the seventh house ruler, Jupiter, is in the tenth. This either shows us a home owner where they have landed or that she is somewhere by herself and he has moved on. I am just not sure because the markers do not clearly describe male or female.

Jupiter with Neptune in the tenth implies someone hiding at a location such as a home. This may well be the girl he left with. She may well have been left behind to hide at this new location while Zachary went about some other business. But there is no doubt in my mind, looking at these charts, that Zachary was moving under his own power, making decisions. He was not, at this point, abducted or forced against his will.

Moving forward through chart after chart, each of them showing minor events and details, I am looking for the time and place when Zachary gets into trouble. In the early morning charts I just see people getting in and out of cars, moving about from place to place. Zachary seems to be concerned about money as well as the place he may be able to settle in. There is worry and movement. He does seem to get some sleep in the early morning hours but I cannot tell from the charts where he is. I cannot say whether he is indoors or out or whether he is sleeping in a car, which is possible. In the early morning charts the Sun is in mutual reception with the Moon while the Sun rules the first. There is no doubt that Zachary was sure of himself and believed he was able to figure it out. He just seems to be sure that everything will be fine.

In the 9 am chart you can see that he is with friends. Somebody he knew or was acquainted with anyways. He has decided to remain with these people but the big problem I see is that one or more of them are criminals. Uranus rules the seventh from the eighth, a strong marker for a criminal element. This person or persons live "on the edge" of society and live a free wheeling lifestyle with few restraints. This seems to have appealed to the young man acting out. Jupiter and Neptune in the seventh with Neptune and Uranus in mutual reception, it is probable that they were using or dealing drugs from this place and that more than a few people were hanging out there. The fourth house ruler, Pluto, is in the fifth house, describing this place as a drug or party house. Pluto is a violent, chaotic planet and can portend danger.

Venus on the tenth cusp in the sign Taurus indicates that this was an attractive home in a suburb. Landscaping and fresh paint. Not a dump at all. Venus conjunct Mars, the fourth house ruler, indicates that it is a family home in fact. From the street you would think it was nice and that a family lived there. You would never know that it was a drug house.

This chart shows that these people wanted to go into hiding for some reason; they did not want to be found. The seventh house ruler, Neptune, implies deception and it's placement in the sixth supports the idea that this person was in hiding. The sixth house also indicates army / navy ties so this person may have been in the military either at that time or in the past. Neptune is conjoined Jupiter and Jupiter rules the fourth house so this person has been hiding in this home, either owning the home himself or having ties to someone who did. At the same time, Neptune is in mutual reception with Uranus in the seventh house so this person was unpopular with others, not really wanted where he was, the "black sheep" so to speak. He was just unruly and difficult.

Mercury in Gemini in the tenth while ruling the tenth shows that there are a number of people living in this home and some of them are children. More than one family, it seems. Sun in the tenth in mutual reception with Moon in the twelfh indicates that Zachary knew someone who lived in this home and was given permission to stay. They are aware he is "hiding" and seem to be ok with that. At the same time, Saturn in the first is a sign of confinement or forced restraint so there are other elements at play here and, somehow but I am not sure how, Zachary feels trapped. And when considering that, at this point, it makes me think that they brought him here, confined him, got permission to keep him here and hid him for some reason. Moon in the twelfth is also a sign of confinement or seclusion.

This first chart, just after noon around 1 pm, I see that Zachary dies. First house ruler Venus in the eighth, Saturn in the twelfth, seventh house ruler in the eighth and Pluto at the fourth house cusp. He was forcibly murdered by some sort of violence and he was murdered by a criminal. One of the criminals present in this home. He was killed the afternoon of the 25th, the day after he disappeared. I have no idea why they took him, confined him and killed him. I am sure something transpired, perhaps in conversation, that led to this. I just don't see motive in the charts. I just see Zachary being somewhere, wanted by someone and not wanted by others. As I said earlier, Venus and Mars in Taurus are very close to fixed stars that indicate sadness and death and here they are positioned in the eighth house of death. His marker, Venus, is within a few degrees and sinister to a conjunction with Caput Algol, one of the most violent fixed stars and a strong omen of death.

Venus in Taurus with Venus ruling the eighth, is an indicator of strangulation or being beaten.. Taurus is the most puglistic sign and indicates violent sports like wrestling and boxing and is often an indicator of a beating with fists. Mercury in Gemini now in the eighth shows they dropped him in a wooded outdoor area and gave him a shallow grave. Mars ruling the seventh and in the eighth with Venus is another marker for a violent beating. Mars also indicates a weapon, Aries a gun. He may have been beat up and shot. I am not sure but this is likely.

Saturn in Virgo in the twelfth indicates the grave. Virgo indicating the earth, put in the dirt. In the next chart, you see Mercury move from the ninth to the eighth, a descriptor of bringing the body to the gravesite in a car and dropping it. Again, because of Mercury ruling the twelfth, a shallow grave

A quick descriptor of the man who actually killed him is first and foremost, he is a violent criminal. He may well be in prison now for some other violent crime. Physically fit, into working out and building muscle, strong and hot tempered. Mars in Taurus can mean a body builder or a boxer. He may fancy himself an athlete. But Aries on the seventh cusp describes a violent criminal. A singular clue that might help overall is there was a car accident on the way back from dumping the body. Pluto in Capricorn disposed of by Saturn in the eleventh tells me they got rid of the body before this happened and no connection was ever made. But a car accident recorded in that area at that time may help lead the way to these people. The car they were driving belonged to a friend and not to the actual killer. But everyone knew what he did. In fact, a group of people helped him get rid of Zachary's body.

I am not sure what happened to the girl that Zachary first hooked up with. She was shown, early on, being left at another home and him heading off with other people. But she may know who those people were, perhaps only one but someone, and is keeping quiet because she's afraid of being implicated. She had nothing to do with his death but if she could be discovered, she may have information. This girl is physically beautiful, has a nice body and a pleasant face. She is voluptuous overall, a bit heavier than most but still lovely. She is short in stature and has a sweet, attractive countenance. Zachary must have known her from somewhere, work, school, the neighborhood, because he went to her first. She may be an artist such as a painter, dancer, singer. She loves music and art and may still be in school.

Jake Latiolais

Car Found on Bridge; Young Man Disappears

From: NBC NEWS :

The last time anyone heard from Jake was early on the morning of August 29, when he said he was headed toward West Baton Rouge. After police received that anonymous call about a person reportedly going over the railing, responding officers found Jake's truck running and his cellphone on the pavement next to it.

"A dive team was called in, but no one was recovered," Captain Don Coppola, with the Baton Rouge Police, told Dateline. "So right now it's an open missing person's case. Homicide did a preliminary investigation, but it is an active missing person's case at this time."

Although police have said they do not know if Jake met with any type of foul play, his mother is firm in her belief that her son, who loved to fish and spent countless hours working on cars, simply would not disappear on his own, or take his own life. After she received a call from authorities saying her son's car had been located abandoned on the bridge, she says she headed to Jake's trailer to try and find him.

"When I got there, it automatically seemed suspicious. A window was punched out, there were holes in the walls. His personal items were missing, including his TV set. Just everything was a mess," said LeClercq.

Another detail that does not sit right with her, involves a recent surgery Jake had that left his foot in a boot and him walking on crutches. Those crutches have never been found.

"If he had jumped off the bridge, his crutches would have been found. They would have been left in his room, by his truck, on the bridge, floating in the water," explained LeClercq.

According to LeClercq, there are some who had a motive to cause her son harm. But without any proof, she admits the investigation is at a dead end. What she hopes is that whoever may know something, will come forward and finally give her the answers for which she is so desperate.

"I am ready for either outcome. But I need an outcome. I'm his voice. That's my son. God is not going to let me quit looking for my boy."

Jake Latiolais is described as 5'10" tall, weighing 150 lbs. with brown hair and brown eyes. If you have any information regarding Jake's whereabouts, please contact the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office at (225) 389-8617. The family is offering a $2,500 reward for information that helps bring Jake home

=========================

I was contacted by someone close to this young man to see if I couldn't analyze his case. It is a real mystery, as you can see by reading the article above. To be honest, the belief that he might have jumped doesn't sit well with me because why would you leave your truck running in the middle of the road with your cellphone on the pavement? You just jump out and jump over? Maybe but it seems strange to me. So I took a look at the charts and let me show you what I found and what I found shocked me. It is not at all what I expected. I was at first afraid to finish this case because of what I found; I was worried about upsetting the family which I have done in the past and regret. However, I messaged the family online and asked and they were excited by my preliminary findings and said they were ok with the post. So here it is.

I started the charts with the time he was last heard from, around 1 a.m. on the 29th. This chart shows Jake in a trailer or mobile home near his own neighborhood. Did he live in a trailer? Could he have been at home when the call was taken? Anyways, the Moon is in the fifth which shows a party of some sort so he is either waiting at home for friends to arrive or maybe a romantic interlude with a special girl? These are all consistent with the charts. So he is home, in a trailer or other temporary home, waiting on someone. He is NOT driving his car. In fact, here, right away, you see someone else in his car! The seventh house ruler Jupiter is in the third house while his marker, Mercury, is in the fourth. He is settled down somewhere while someone else had his car. Perhaps he was waiting for that person to return with his car and maybe this person was getting drinks, drugs or girls? Maybe not but the party marker is strong with the Moon in the fifth.

Another standout placement for me in this chart at this time is Pluto in the eighth. Pluto has no power in the chart yet but that could change and when it does, this placement will be paramount.

And then it does come into view right away. This next chart, for an hour later, shows Pluto in the seventh house. Pluto is disposed of by Saturn in the fifth and this is likely someone arriving for Jake. This was either someone he knew and expected to arrive or someone who came as a surprise. This person does not seem to have a good purpose here. Saturn and Pluto together like this indicate danger. These planets are in mutual reception so this person is powerful in the current situation and has the upper hand in many ways. This was a situation that was "meant to be" it seems, which means, in Astrology, that planetary influences were lined up the right way. In this same chart Jake's marker is the Moon in the fourth. So this shows him still at home.

The fourth house ruler is still Mercury showing this location to be temporary or changeful. This shows his home to be a rental apartment, a trailer, a hotel room or some other temporary location. Mercury at the nadir with the Moon and the node in the fourth shows that Jake had plans to be at his own home. He had planned to be at home and someone else knew that. Both the Moon and the node are disposed of by Venus so this may have had to do with a girl. The placement of Venus in the second house could mean she was expected. So he was at home waiting? And is this person who just arrived the person he was waiting for or was it someone unexpected?

Here Pluto is in the seventh in mutual reception with Saturn in the fifth. Mars in the fifth is also disposed of by Pluto. This connection between the seventh and fifth houses shows again someone either romantically linked or someone coming to party. It's hard to decide which it is. Saturn rules the seventh so this is someone much older than Jake and Capricorn implies someone with more status and money. Moon in the fourth shows Jake still at home. This person, ruled by Saturn conjunct Mars, can be violent or overbearing but this does not rule out women. I am just not sure what sex this person was or what their connection was. I can say that the ruler in Scorpio with Mars shows someone aggressive and possibly vengeful and jealous. Pluto is square to the Moon in Libra so there was a relationship there but it was not a very good one.

Nothing much changes here. Everything so far describes Jake waiting at home for someone to arrive while someone else had his car. In this chart, Jake is still at home and the rise of Jupiter in the first house shows that he is generally safe. He is not aware of any danger or trouble. I think I feel safe to say right now that he had nothing to do with his car being on that bridge. He did not jump off that bridge. In fact, no matter how far ahead I run the charts I do not see this man dieing. I firmly believe he is still alive and I think the running truck was staged on the bridge. I think the police might start with the person who made the false call about someone jumping off that bridge. That theory supports the idea that someone took his man's car and then came along to do some not so nice things to him...

In this chart, things change. You can see the Moon moving into the third from the fourth which shows us Jake leaving his current location in a car. The first house ruler, the Sun, is in the second house showing concern over money or possessions. Since the Sun is disposed of by Mercury in the third, I think the concern is now over his car. Notice the seventh house ruler in the ninth house (the third from the seventh), showing us someone else in a car, either coming or going. Uranus is disposed of by Mars so I can now say that this is most likely a male and an aggressive male at that. Mars is conjunct Saturn showing this male to be much older and since Saturn is in mutual reception with Pluto it is likely he more than aggressive and possibly dangerous. I believe this man to be arriving and then leading the other car along as they leave. I am pretty sure that Jake was bullied into going along and I cannot say for sure that he was not assaulted in the process. I am beginning to believe that he had actually been waiting for someone to come back with his car and they never did; He got grabbed instead.

I am not sure if anyone has checked Jake's bank accounts, if he had one. It looks to me that he was forced to get money from somewhere for some purpose here and since Mercury is in the second, it is money that is likely to be stolen from him or represents money he is going to earn for them that they will take. This is part of the picture that comes to me as I read these charts. He was forced to go along, he has since lost his car, and now he is locating money for these people. You will see more clearly in the charts for 5 and 6 am exactly who these people are.

Neptune in Pisces just entering the seventh shows somebody new on the scene. This is a drug dealer or shady person. This combined with Pluto ruling the fourth from the fifth house tells me the next destination is a drug house and they are either forcing Jake to take drugs (Pluto) or they are sneaking them in somehow (Neptune). This is not good. Mars ruling the fourth from the fourth in the sign Scorpio (in dignity) and in tandem with Pluto, I would say Jake is not safe in this house. There is violence there and evil intent. Mars and Pluto together do not always mean violence but their placement here indicates it. Venus ruling the tenth and moving in the first towards the ascendant, there is a woman involved in this. In fact, this second location is a home owned by a woman. With Venus and Jupiter in Leo near the first cusp and Venus on the tenth, I think it's a large, beautiful home in a suburb. Leo indicates something showy with lots of curb appeal. In some ways, there is glamor here in whatever way a home can have glamor, such as gold trim, bright flowers, designer shades, etc... Sun ruling the first from the first in Virgo tells me Jake has been here before and went along willingly to some extent because he knows this woman. Sun disposed of by Mercury in the second also tells me there is money involved.

Here you see the criminal arrive. Uranus ruling the seventh from the eighth. Not only drug dealers but other criminals as well. Jake is in scary company here. I am not sure at this point what they want him for. Unpaid labor (slavery), drug runner or porn star. I am just not sure. It could be any of the above. I am seeing drugs, money and sex. So take your pick.

Sun in the first tells us that Jake is still operating under his own power. This means he is not confined, caged, tied up, locked in a closet or knocked out. He is just there. I think he was bullied into going along but he isn't resisting.

Pluto in the fifth disposed of by Mars and Saturn bothers me. If he were a woman I would say they raped her but I am not sure when it comes to a male. But the fifth house doesn't always refer to sex and can also imply "partying" or using drink or drugs. He may have been more willing to submit if they drugged him. I am just not sure because I did not know Jake, his habits or personality. The charts do show him being worried about his car, which I believe he loaned but did not expect to be stolen. So perhaps he felt he had no way out.

The charts I run for the remaining morning hours show the same situation. They have him there and he is going along, either out of fear or a forced willingness to be involved. I am just not sure. He does not appear to be confined. But I do see bullying, some physical violence and threats. So he is most likely scared.

The charts keep showing him in this same home, owned by a woman, nicely appointed with curb appeal. Something showy or glamorous about the decor with nice gardens and showy flowers outside.

This chart shows him to be either asleep or unconscious. You can see the Moon in the twelfth with the node which may mean he has gone to bed especially since the first house ruler is in the first, indicating he is safe and alive. Mars conjoined Saturn indicates self control and carefulness so he may be going along to keep from being harmed. Moon in the twelfth could also mean being hidden or stashed away, out of view and this is underscored by the node, which shows planning and the disposition of the Moon by Venus in the tenth. So he has been to this place before, it is a home he has visited and he knows the woman who owns it. This should help those who are tracking him down. The node indicates they are hiding him in a familiar place, a place they planned to use in advance. This implies that Jake was targeted, which I am inclined to believe mainly because they took his car to disable him. His secondary marker in this chart is Pluto in the third, which shows his continued concern for his car. Capricorn indicates he is worried about what the car will cost him.

No matter what chart for what day I draw up, he is still alive and still with these people. I am convinced they are holding him in that same neighborhood, or, at least they were for the first month after his disappearance. I cannot swear that he is still alive because I can't run charts for every day since but because they didn't kill him right away we can assume they had a purpose for him. Because of this, I believe that Jake is still alive but not in a good situation.

Elisa Lam

Young Girl Ends Up Dead In Hotel Water Tank


FROM DISINFO.COM:

The Death
About a year ago, some residents at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles complained about the water quality. Sent to inspect the cause of the blackened and odd tasting water, a maintenance worker made a grisly discovery: the decomposing body of Elisa Lam in one of the roof’s water tanks. For about 19 days, residents at the Cecil Hotel bathed, drank, and brushed their teeth with corpse contaminated water. Even weirder, the hotel remained open and guests continued to check in and out as firefighters removed Lam’s body.

Lam was a 21-year-old college student visiting LA from Canada. An autopsy showed that there were no drugs or alcohol in her system and Lam’s death was subsequently ruled “‘accidental due to drowning, other significant conditions: bipolar disorder.'”

Many questions have been raised following Lam’s “accidental” death. How did she get to the roof without setting off alarms? How did she open the supposedly locked roof door? How did she manage to close the lid of the water tank from the inside? If she truly was having a psychotic episode, how did she get to the roof undetected?

Maybe it really was unfortunate circumstance. The alarms might not have been set (or malfunctioned). The door might have been left unlocked. In a frantic state, Lam might have figured out how to close the water tank lid (people have done stranger things with high amounts of adrenaline coursing through their veins). Maybe no one was around to see her.

Of course, my attempts to explain away the mystery might not satisfy everyone. I’ve seen some speculation that the murder was a “Twin Peaksesque twist [and] that her death was caused by the supernatural.” Others give the more practical explanation that a hotel worker was involved.

FROM PUNCHNELS.COM:

What happened to Elisa Lam? I’d read about her drowning on top of the Cecil Hotel in a water cistern. Some had speculated it was a suicide as a result of drug use. As there had just been a shootout in Orange County earlier in the week, I have to admit, her death slipped out of my mind. It was only after a few friends mentioned it to me that I read more about the suspicious circumstances surrounding her death. The cisterns where she was found weren’t easily accessible, and while they were unlocked, an alarm and a locked door would have to be passed for her to have gone upstairs.

To make the situation even stranger, the last recorded footage of her alive is viewable on YouTube. It’s from an elevator camera and is as inscrutable as the cause of her death. She enters the elevator and presses all the buttons. She peeks closely at what she’s pressed, seems confused why the door isn’t closing. Then she appears to hide alongside of the wall, moves to the corner, then peeks furtively out. She gets back in, pushes all the buttons again, confused as to why it isn’t moving. Her most inexplicable behavior happens when she starts flailing her arms, and it almost looks like she is arguing with someone or signaling something, though her finger gestures also imply an unusual state. One question that kept on coming back to me was, why wasn’t the elevator door closing? Why only after she left did it close?

Some have speculated in an almost Twin Peaksesque twist that her death was caused by the supernatural. Others say this indicates someone who worked at the hotel had to be involved. Honestly, the footage caused me shivers. Part of it was the silence, not knowing what she was doing. Another part of it was realizing these were the last known movements of this girl who was going to get killed shortly afterwards. It also occurred to me that it was possible she was extremely nervous and was hiding from someone. Speculation on the Internet has been rampant, and several Chinese on chinasmack.com (which translates Chinese reactions over the net into English) have suggested it could have been her flirtatiously playing hide-and-seek with a lover, or that she was in fear for her life as she tried to escape.

*************

It is hard to find any article on this woman's death without the banter about the video of her in the elevator and the fact that she was found in the water tanks.  No articles are left anywhere that just describe her first missing and when and when she was last seen; everybody is busy trying to figure out what happened here.  You can see the video on YouTube and about a thousand other websites; it is literally viral.  Her death is a literal mystery with much conjecture about supernatural forces and whatnot.  The police ruled her death an accident but, as everybody is pointing out, that is hard to believe.  How did she end up on the roof in the water supply?  There are a lot of locked doors before you get there and she was just a visitor at the hotel and did not work there.  Many people think a hotel worker was involved but if this is possible, why is no one investigating this?  Why is it just passed over?  I think part of the reason is that she was Chinese from Canada and not American.  She was just a "nobody".  It's exactly this kind of case why I got interested in offering this blog, hoping to use Astrology to look into cases from a distance and possibly find clues.  If nothing else, I can poke the monkey and maybe spark interest in reopening cases like this one and giving these victims some real consideration.

I don't think this was supernatural, as tempting as that drama might be.  I also do not think she went up there and got into the water tanks, regardless of bi polar disorder.  I have known lots of people with bi polar disorder and the depression they suffer is really deep, so that many of them do consider suicide.  But I do not believe they get this creative just because they are bi polar; jumping off a roof or hanging oneself is easier and quicker than making ones way to the water supply, something, in fact, few visitors to hotels even think about, much less know where it is.  I just don't believe she got there on her own, had some sort of weird accident, was kidnapped by ghosts or demons or was on drugs.  The elevator video looks to me that she is playing around with someone, perhaps someone she is hiding from, trying to attract, spy on or just play around with.  We never get to see the other person but I strongly believe there was somebody else there.  Down the hall or in the doorway of a neighboring room, perhaps.  And even though there were many deaths in the hotel and serial killers stayed there from time to time, this is true of many hotels and residences.  This death is one of the strangest I've ever heard of and that makes it impossible for me to ignore.  I just have to see what the charts tell me.

One problem I have is no time line.  She was last seen on January 31st, in the hotel by witnesses.  She was due to check out on February 1st and never did but then this video of her surfaced and this is where she was actually last seen on the date she was supposed to check out.  Here is a generalized time line of her activities:

Jan. 26: Traveled to California
Jan. 31: Last seen at The Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles
Feb. 1: Lam is recorded acting strangely in hotel elevator
Feb. 1: Lam was due to check out of hotel, but never surfaced
Feb. 6: LAPD hold press conference about disappearance, family attends
Feb. 19: Body found on hotel roof in a water tank

By the time they found her, she had been missing for two weeks.  I do not believe they know exactly when she ended up in the water supply.  Everybody keeps saying that she died shortly after she was in the elevator and this is based on the known fact that she never checked out on that date.  So she died at some point on that same date... or she was kept from checking out for some reason and maybe held or trapped for an unknown period of time before she was dropped in the tank.  It is my starting argument that she was dead when she was dropped in the water tank and no one knows for how long.  So this is my problem with the timeline.  This leaves me with no other recourse than to start running charts early in February and then keep going until something makes sense.  Let's hope it gives us some idea of what happened.

Looking on Booking.com and TripAdvisor, I find the check out time at the Cecil Hotel is anytime before noon.  But after much searching, I found a website that documented the actual timestamp on the video and gave 2 pm as the time when she was seen making hand gestures.  You can see this page here: CAFEMOM .. Anyways, I will work with this and see what I can discover.

I want to point out a few things right off.  Now, this documented time for 2 pm is already two hours after her scheduled check out time.  So she was already planning to stay longer?  Or was she detained by someone else, perhaps the same person she is seen gesturing to in the video?  Almost everything about this case is a mystery that raises more questions and nothing provides any answers.  It is beyond fascinating.

Looking at this chart, you can see that the first house cusp is changing from Gemini to Cancer.  The changing of the Ascendant and it's ruler is a marker for imminent change.  So there is no doubt that her circumstances were already in flux.  Cancer on the first makes the Moon her ruler in the chart, as it is always the co ruler of any chart and in this one the first house ruler as well.  It is positioned in the fifth house and the fifth house is a common marker for hotels, restaurants, bars and dance halls.  The Moon is in Libra and is disposed of by Venus in the eighth.  The eighth house rules sex and death; the fifth house also  commonly rules romance and sex; romantic opportunities especially (as those you find in hotels, bars and dance halls).  Saturn rules the seventh house and is a marker for anyone else who might have been in her company.  Since it seems as if she is gesturing someone, hiding from someone, maybe even playing around with someone, this idea of another person looms large for me.  Saturn is also in the fifth house of hotels and lodges as well as romance and sex.  Was this other person an unnamed lover?  Someone she was flirting with?  Or actually having sex with?  With these markers, this is possible.  There is also no doubt that both this girl and this other person were in the hotel at the same time.I do not like Pluto in the seventh, it is a marker for chaos, disruption and violence and plays a role in rape and sexual assault.  There is no aspect between the Moon and Saturn so there is no definitive descriptor of their relationship so it may be that they had only recently met each other.  The node in the fifth, near to Saturn, indicates planning in advance.  So was someone plotting and scheming in this instance?  Was their meeting that morning something planned or, at the least, wished for?

Other factors I must note is that the fourth house ruler is Mercury, which is a strong marker for temporary housing and short term residences, which includes hotels.  Mercury is in the ninth house and the ninth house is a descriptor for foreign places, foreigners, tourists, travelers, exchange students, etc... and we know this girl was Chinese from Canada and was a tourist in LA.  This much in the charts dovetails with the known facts, which helps us determine that the charts are viable.

Most of the blog posts I read said that this video was taken only minutes before she was killed.  I do not know how they know this; the police have been unable to say exactly when she ended up in the tank nor how long she had been there.  Just because she had not been seen since does not prove that she was killed right away.  Running the charts for 4 pm on the same day, the charts are telling us something else:

In this chart you see the first house ruler, still the Moon, is in the fourth house along with the seventh house ruler, which is still Saturn.  This is her and her friend in the residence, most likely his room in the hotel.  The Moon is disposed of by Venus, which is now at the seventh house cusp, and this shows Elisa in the company of someone else (the seventh house always depicts the "other person" in any instance).  The seventh house ruler, in turn, is disposed of by Mars in the eighth house of sex and by Pluto in the sixth house.  This placement leads me to believe that this person she is with is interested in sex with her.  This person may well have worked at the hotel (Pluto in the sixth), possibly in maintenance or construction.  The sign Capricorn is an earth sign that has an affinity for wood so perhaps this person was a carpenter or worked on the wood finishes in some manner.

The Moon, which marks our victim, is disposed of by Venus in Capricorn, which in turn is disposed of by Saturn, which describes her "partner".  This type of complimentary loop often indicates that the two of them came together because of mutual desire.  It would seem that she was there because of him (or her) and had not been forced or coerced. Since Saturn co rules Aquarius we might also note that Mars and Saturn are in mutual reception.  This adds aggression to the personality as well as discipline and determination.  This person she was with was strong and determined and could be hard to resist.  Mars is getting ready to change signs, to move into Pisces, so watch what happens with the rest of the chart (most especially the angles) when this occurs.

The node in the sign Scorpio in the fifth house and disposed of by Mars in the eighth, there is no doubt that sex played in role in this event.  And the chart for 6 pm, makes it perfectly clear.   From here on in, I will describe her friend as a male, assuming she was heterosexual and that no other claim was made about her sexuality.

Here, you can see the seventh house ruler is Uranus, so expect something unexpected from her "friend".  As Uranus is in the eighth house, this person is either a criminal or capable of lawless behavior.  Sun is now ruling the first house cusp and it has moved into the sixth.  This placement, the first house ruler in the sixth, is a known descriptor for disappearance; in charts where someone has run away and you see this placement, you must conclude that the person will never be seen again.  In this instance, it is saying she will never been seen again, at least not alive.  The Sun here is disposed of by the seventh house ruler, Uranus, so you can be sure she is doing his bidding and that he has plans for her.  She is with him because she wants to be with him and now he is in complete control.  She may have been so enamored of him that she had been coerced into doing something illegal (such as using drugs) in order to go along; although the tox screen did come up clean. Uranus in the eighth is, in turn, disposed of by Mars, in the seventh house, and this certainly looks like an assault, an attack, a situation that has turned to force.  He is attempting to do something illegal by force and since Pluto is in the fifth house as well, I would say that he raped this girl.  At the very least, he assaulted her.

So we know that she was still alive and in the company of an unknown person at 6 pm that evening.  So she did not die "within minutes" of the video.

Another point I wish to make is about her bipolar disorder.  First of all, this is not a reason for her to have an accident or to end up in a locked tank.  This is not a magical condition that allows you to do magical things nor does it predispose to an accident.  The police must have learned about her condition from her parents, which would mean she had been diagnosed and probably was being medicated.  When they are on their medication, bi polar people are just like the rest of us.  If she fell off her medication, this may explain some of the components here.  For instance, they tend to get "high" on delusional ideas for sure and perhaps her infatuation was a bit extreme due to mania.  She may have been convinced that she had found her soul mate or that she "belonged" with this person, which is a common misconception among people with delusional disorders.  She may have made bad choices because of mania and ended up with a dangerous individual.  She may have been convinced to use drugs as well, especially since mania makes bi polar sufferers feel invincible (but, again, I must note that the tox screen came up clean).  She may have been likely to do all sorts of things she would not ordinarily do.  Now, I realize the argument has been for depression but, for one thing, she does not look depressed in the video and it is unlikely she would have left her room to begin with if she were severely depressed.  I do not believe this was suicide, no matter how conveniant that explanation seems, mostly because she got through several locked doors and ended up in a tiny. locked tank.  Who on earth could believe this was an accident?

Please notice Jupiter in Gemini in the tenth.  Now, Jupiter does not rule any angles nor does it dispose of any angular planets but it's placement in the tenth must be studied.  It is disposed of by Mercury, which is angular at the descendant, and is key in describing this "other person" Elisa was with.  Gemini implies two people.  Mercury at the seventh describes somebody young, such as an older teen or young adult perhaps.  Mercury stands alone and is not connected to the other planets in the seventh so I believe this is one or two people, young people, who live and/or work at this hotel.  The other planets in this house are Neptune, which rules the eighth house and Mars, which rules the fourth.  Mars is telling us they are still in the hotel in a room.  A room where somebody lives.  Neptune, the ruler of the eighth, is telling us that either sex or death was a part of the purpose in this event.  Sex has been mentioned by the charts more than several times now, so it was likely a sexual attraction that brought Elisa to this room with this person. Pluto co rules the fourth from the fifth, another marker for sex.  With Pluto, it could easily be forced sex or sexual assault.  I am getting more and more convinced that Elisa was raped and possibly by more than one person.  I am just wondering if they even checked her for this since they seem to have assumed she climbed in there on her own.  But, to excuse this apparent misstep on their part somewhat I must admit that water tends to wash away body fluids and makes it hard to prove that flesh is damaged.  Immersion in the tank might have made a rape kit useless.

Now, to save time I will resist running a ton of charts past you as I look for the next big moment in this event.  The charts I run for the remainder of this night are reflecting small events, such as eating, drinking or sleeping and are boring and unproductive.  But running the charts forward, I find that she is still alive and in this same room days later.  There are placements in the charts along the way that reflect captivity or restraint.  It is possible, if he lives in the motel and does not require maid service, that she was kept in this room for quite some time.  Her body was not recovered until the 19th.  The next best prospect, under these conditions, is to run a chart for the time of her discovery and see what it reveals.

I ran charts for the day they found her and discovered that, at around 3:30 pm, the planets are lined up to describe what we know to be true.  Here the tenth house ruler, Mars, is in the eighth.  The tenth house describes authority, such as the police or even hotel management, and the eighth house shows us death.  The first house ruler, Elisa's marker, is here in the eighth along with Mars, in the water sign Pisces and all disposed of by Neptune, also in the eighth and in Pisces.  Neptune is in dignity so it is the strongest marker here and it is known to describe "hidden things".  Pisces describes the water in the tank and Neptune shows her submerged and hidden there.  Saturn, which always describes dead bodies in death cases, is in the water sign Scorpio in the fourth.  She is definitely still at the hotel (the fourth) and hidden in water (Scorpio).  DARK water as was described many times in this case and Scorpio always describes DARK places and places that are hard to navigate or where darkness hides things.  So this chart is reflecting what we already know; she was discovered in the water tank, dead, on February 19. 

Now I cannot help but be curious about when she was put there, knowing that the charts have been telling us she was in the room for weeks.  So I run charts backward to see when the first house ruler enters the eighth and then when it enters the sign Pisces.  This is the chart I discovered:

In this chart, at this time, the first house ruler is Cancer and the Moon has just entered the sign Pisces at 1 degree.  This is when she was dropped into that tank; maybe not the exact moment but within this time frame.  The Moon is closely adjoined to Neptune, reflecting the need to hide her.  The seventh house shows us the person who put her there and this is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is still in Scorpio and in the fourth house.  Again, he lives at the motel and he wanted her for sex and then he needed to hide her (Neptune and the sign Scorpio both reflect secrets).  The node is in the fourth, having just passed over Saturn, telling us that he planned this in the recent past and had already chosen the hiding place.  Something he does at the hotel allows him access to the water tanks.  He may well have been among those that "discovered" her.  So I think I would be willing to say that she was already in the tank by Feb 10.  Which means she actually died within that 10 day period.  So I am going to run charts for that period and see if I can find the time of death.  From that, we might be able to determine both how she died and who killed her.

I did occur to me that they probably killed her either early on the 10th or in the days preceding that date.  I believe she has already been placed in the tank on that day (or within the 24 hour period prior to this event, mainly because I can't imagine them keeping a dead body around for a long time).  So I started with the 9th of February and hit on the first death pattern right away.  It is present at 3 pm on February 9th and I cannot duplicate it at any other time on any other day.  The pattern actually started at 2 pm on that day and then continues until 3 pm and then disappears.

Looking at this chart, you can see what I am referring to.  Cancer rules the first house cusp and is Elisa's marker.  Here it is in the eighth house of death.  It is under the Sun's beams, which is a marker for danger and for misfortune.  The twelfth house ruler, Mercury, is in the eighth house as well and Saturn, the marker for the dead body of the victim, is in the fourth house, showing her body to have expired in that room.  Saturn also, curiously, marks the "other person" in this event.  I am not sure what that means outside of a "togetherness".  I won't comment on that.  The tenth house ruler, Mars, is also in the eighth.  All of these placements indicate death and the presence of a dead body.  I must also note the mutual reception between Pluto and Saturn, which has several meanings.  One, that the dead body died by violence.  But another is hate.  Pluto and Saturn disposing of each other can often mean murder for hate, or, in other words, a hate crime.  She may have been targeted because she was Chinese.

This pattern stays in place during the same trending time for the next 24 hours or so.  And then the charts show the dumping in the tank event.  So she was killed around the 9th and then dumped on the 10th.  So she was in the tank for 9 days before she was discovered.  She could have ended up in there for months if no one had complained about the water.  And just because she had "bi polar disorder" and was Chinese and not American, her death was chalked up to suicide and dismissed, even though the known facts just don't support that theory.  Whether or not you believe in Astrology, you must admit that not much attention was given to the death of this girl.

The last chart I was to study is the one drawn for the day before she was discovered.  I want to show you something.

Notice that Uranus rules the seventh house.  Notice that Uranus is in the ninth house, showing someone who may be foreign or from another country.  And then Uranus is disposed of by Mars, which rules the tenth house and Mars is in the eighth.  The person who killed Elisa and knew she was dead and in that tank was among those who "discovered" her.  I thought this might be the case when I saw the first charts I studied but I could not reveal it until I had more clues.  But now it is obvious to me.  He worked at the hotel, lived or used rooms at the hotel, raped and abused women at the hotel and was among those who discovered this girls body.  He may have never killed a girl there before or if he had he may have taken them elsewhere.  But the rooftop tanks, behind locked doors, were safe and hidden and if he had access to them, easy for him to take advantage of.  This man is the person who kidnapped her, held her, raped her and killed her and then dumped her in the tank, only to "discover" her later.   

How can we tell more about him? Perhaps find more clues as to who he is and how he can be brought to justice?  First of all, I seriously doubt that he will ever be caught for this or punished.  I do not think the police will ever change their story or, if they do, it will be many years from now with new people.  But the charts say he works there and lives there and has access to the tanks.  This should narrow it down to some degree, if anyone were to care.  And the markers are there to describe him in other ways as well.  Using the chart I drew for her actual time of death, I can draw some details from the seventh house.  Saturn in the fourth describes someone who lives at the hotel, which we already know.  Saturn in Scorpio describes someone older with dark features.  This person is secretive, quiet, apparently shy and reclusive.  He is not friendly with others at the hotel and spends a lot of time alone.  Saturn is trine both Mercury and Mars so he has said little to others that would raise suspicion, is very careful in his words and actions and has not ever drawn fire or anger from others at the hotel.  He will avoid confrontations at all costs.  He gets along with everyone on a superficial level but no one knows anything about him.  He does not incur their curiosity, either.  He stays to himself. 

He is probably thin and small in overall size. Dark features, closed up features, does not smile much.  Does his job, doesn't forget or shirk responsibility but prefers to work alone and has gone out of his way to get other people out of his job.  This should give people some information helpful to singling him out.  I very much doubt anyone is looking to do this at this point but attention should be given to other women who either may go missing or may end up dead.  The Saturn and Pluto connection here gives a tendency towards violence and Mars in Pisces trine to Saturn as well can point to perversities and exotic desires.

Shane Fell

Young Man Disappears From Site of Accident

From Find Shane Fell on Facebook:

Shane was driving a dark blue/green Saturn. The accident happened on River Road between Klein Road and Marrero Road early on the morning of Friday June 10, 2011 around 12:45 a.m. His car flipped at least once.

From: Pam Coronado.com:

Missing since 12:30 AM 06-09-11 at the intersection of River Rd. and Marrero in Harvey, LA. Shane lost control of his car and it flipped one or more times. He was able to exit the vehicle through the window but he hasn't been seen since. He did answer a telephone call right after the accident but has been silent since. His brother was on the scene within 20 minutes of the accident and the search began. Please report any sightings to Amber or Brett at 504-382-1233

It's possible that Shane is alive and homeless. For those in the New Orleans area please watch for him. He can be recognized by the mole under his left eye or a noticable scar on his chin. Let's bring Shane home to his loving family. You will be able to watch Pam and her team work this case live when The UneXplained airs this Fall on the Biography Channel.

From: Missing Persons of America :

UPDATE: There have been sightings of a transient/homeless person around grocery stores and Wal-Marts in Louisiana, Florida, Texas and North Carolina that is selling orgami (hand-made) flowers and sour grass flowers. If you happen to be approached to buy flowers or notice someone like that, keep in mind it may be Shane.

Note: Shane may have longer hair and a beard and he may not want to be recognized.

***************

I was sent this case many times by various readers over the past year or so. I looked at the charts each time I was reminded of it and could not make sense of them. I was seeing things in the charts that did not dovetail with the facts as I knew them. Since then, I have discussed this case with various people who knew Shane well and also visited their Facebook page where I learned some things that made sense to me. These new facts as they came to light also answered some of the questions I had about the event after looking at the charts. Now, I beleive I have a better handle on the details of this case and the charts are making more solid sense so I thought it was time to post it. I will not post a chart on a case when the facts do not work with what I am finding because this is the first indication that the charts are not viable. So this is why it has taken me over a year to get this particular analysis done.



This first chart is drawn for the time when Shane was effectively last heard from, the time of his single car accident. He had apparently missed a turn and ended up rolling over twice. He answered a call from his brother and seemed to be coherent and then also crawled out of the toppled car through a window. These were some of the details that I needed when I first tried to read these charts but did not have. Looking at the chart you can see clearly that the first house ruler is Neptune in Pisces, placed in the twelfth house. This is Shane's marker and it makes me believe that he was either impaired when he had this accident or he had fallen asleep behind the wheel (or both). Neptune in the twelfth as his marker shows me he was not alert when this accident occurred. Notice that the third house ruler, which is the marker for his car, is in the third house. This shows his car on the road. There are no conjoining planets here so I can safely say he was alone. But notice that Mercury, the seventh house ruler, is nearby in Gemini also in the third. This shows someone else on the scene. That the ninth house ruler, Mars, is in the third as well, I can also safely say that this other person was in a car. The ninth house is the third from the seventh and shows the vehicle belonging to that person. Mars in Taurus describes a small, fast (perhaps muscle) car in earth tones like brown, terra cotta or white... but most especially green. This car could be any combination of these colors. But it is definitely small in size (Taurus) and fast (Mars). I am not sure whether this other car was tailing Shane or somehow involved in causing him to swerve but these events are possible considering the placement of Mars in the third. But with no aspect between key planets I cannot say for sure if this happened or not. All I can say for sure is that this younger person was present at the time.

So, from this configuration we can see that there was someone else on the scene of the accident, whether they came up afterwards or were in the area when it occurred. Mercury in Gemini is a dual position so it implies more than one person and Mercury rules children so these were young people (not yet adults) or a young woman with a baby or young child. Neptune, Shane's marker, is retrograde in the twelfth house. I do not think that he remained unconcious or asleep for long because his brother spoke to him on the phone. This means that Shane went into hiding in some manner, ran from the scene, so to speak, and hid from view. The retrograde motion indicates that he remained in hiding for quite some time, until after the scene was visited by police and cleared. Pisces describes bodies of water and areas near water and we know that this was a road called "River Road" and that it runs along the river. Neptune in Pisces is in dignity and has great power so we know he was not hiding because he was confused or injured. He was in control of what he was doing. No one was forcing him. But Neptune is in exact square aspect to Venus, which rules his car, so he was attempting to distance himself from the car and the accident. He had decided, right then and there, that he was not going to recoup the car. He was going to let this go. So does this mean he might have had other traffic offenses that might have caused him grief or perhaps he would have failed a blood test for alcohol? Might he have feared having to pay damages on city property as a result of the accident? But whatever his reason he made a personal decision to dump the car and hide.



His chart co ruler, the Moon, is in Libra in the seventh house and conjunct Saturn. The Moon conjoined Saturn in the seventh makes me think that he feared law enforcement and the possibility that he might be arrested (Saturn in Libra). Pluto in the tenth disposed of by Saturn in the seventh indicates that law enforcement had harrassed him in the past and he might have had a few run ins with them, whether he was arrested or jailed or not. He appears to have been afraid of this happening. Moon and Saturn in the seventh, especially in the sign Libra, may mean that he also feared criticism from someone close. Whether this was an ex wife, a best friend or a girfriend, I just can't be sure but it looks like he did not want to disappoint this person. He felt they might not forgive him this transgression- the loss of his car or the expense of repairs or the cost of a ticket, etc.. and he did not want to face that.

The most interesting factor in this chart though is the north node in the ninth house. The ninth house rules the outdoors, mostly wooded areas and other vast areas where people go hunting or camping. The reports I have seen say his shoe was found in the woods. This dovetails nicely with the ninth house aspect, showing that he was, indeed, hiding in the woods. The north node shows some degree of advanced planning. Now, whether this means that he planned out the entire event and used the woods as a means of escape I cannot say for sure but I can say that the woods did occur to him as the ideal place to hide. He was very much aware of this wooded area and had been there, or near there, in the past. He knew how to get there and how to navigate the area when he did. So if there is an area of the woods he had visited in the past, to hunt or camp or to party with friends, then this area would be a place he would feel safe revisiting.



The chart for 2 AM raises a few more questions for me. The seventh house ruler, which is now Venus, is in the second house along with the first house ruler, now Mars. These two planets are not in the same sign but they are only separated by eight degrees. In fact, Mars, which rules the first, is disposed of by Venus, which rules the third. Now, I have to ask the question... did Shane have a young girlfriend? Was there a young lady in the picture that might have arrived on the scene or been in a car following him? I am definitely seeing him with a young female. Now, this is the second house so they are no longer on the scene of the accident or even in a car. The second house ruler is also Venus, which tells me that she may have come along to give him money. I know this seems strange in light of what has just happened, that he has had an accident, but is there a girl he might have called or gone on to visit? The second house implies a financial tie, someone who would give him money or have possession of some of his things. The second house could also be a bank (an ATM, to be exact) or any place where money may be stashed or hidden. The sign Taurus implies many things but it works well with this scenario. Taurus indicates places away from houses and suburbs and closer to areas where cattle or horses may roam. It implies pasture or farm land. It can also mean something low to the ground, close to the earth and even buried. If it does describe a home or house, it would mean the cellar, the basement or, in general, the lowest room in the house.

I believe the charts are saying that Shane hid in the woods and then called a girlfriend. He either went to her home and met her there (in an area around the exterior of the home or in the lowest room such as a basement) or he met up with her at a bank (an ATM). Saturn rules the tenth house (which is the fourth from the seventh and therefor her home) from the seventh where it is conjunct the Moon. So it is more likely that he went to her home and got some things and money that she had. The node in the ninth house disposed of by Jupiter in the first shows me that this was his idea, that he was not forced or coerced. There isn't even a hint of a death pattern in this chart. He is not in danger. One other thing I want to point out in this chart is that the twelfth house ruler, Uranus, is right now crossing the first cusp into the twelfth. He has made a sudden and rash decision to go into hiding. Uranus in Aries could very well mean that he was aware of criminal elements in New Orleans and knew where they hung out. He made a firm decision to go get lost in that area of the city so that no one would ask questions or pay attention. Uranus is also directly opposite the Moon, which is the chart co ruler, and this shows us that the decision he made was rash and illogical and against his better interests. But stubborness settled in and he became committed to that choice. Aries is an extremely willful sign and in opposition to Libra (which defines his relationships) reiterates the conviction that he would be criticized, judged or punished by people close to him if he took blame for the accident. Whether this makes sense to the rest of us does not matter. This is what fueled his choices that morning after the crash.



The Moon, as co ruler of this chart, is also the fourth house ruler. This indicates that he did not intend on leaving his family for good and had strong feelings about that. He did not want to sever ties and intended to get back home eventually. However, the conjunction of Saturn in the seventh shows us that he built new relationships and got involved with other people rather quickly and those committments became entrenched. Saturn is retrograde so his separation from family went on for much longer than he first expected and, over time, he just got used to it. Saturn is very inhibiting and restrictive and it's hard to get out from under it once it's retrograde. Also, Saturn is exalted in Libra, giving it great power while the Moon is rather neutral in that sign. Uranus in Aries, on the other hand, is extremely powerful at the first house cusp and he soon became a victim of the chaos of life. Upsets, unexpected events, changes of mind and heart happened to Shane Fell. There is a strong possibility that he did fall upon misfortune at some time in the future after this event. I say this because Mars in Taurus in the chart for 2 AM is dangerously close to Caput Algol, a violent fixed star that portends misfortune. So I cannot say at this point in time that he did not meet with some danger later on.

Running the charts forward through the rest of the morning continues to show Shane's markers as strong and in control. He is making these decisions himself for whatever reason and he is not under duress nor is he in any danger. Jupiter, in fact, is rising on his first house cusp in the hours after 3 AM, which tells me that he is happy with his choices. In fact, he is feeling good about it. Jupiter is disposed of by Venus, which rules the seventh house, so there might have been a girlfriend he was either interacting with or considering. She may have had some influence, whether intended or not, over his final decision to "disappear".



There is a sudden change in the aspects in the chart for 4 AM and I must point some things out. This is where we first see a small death pattern forming, which is a big cause for concern. Mars rules the seventh house and is rising on the Ascendant, indicating a confrontation or sudden assault. The seventh house co ruler, Pluto, is in the eighth house along with the node and the twelfth house ruler is rising with the eighth house ruler in the twelfth. This is not a strong death pattern, I will admit, but it does hint at danger. It may be that he was hit over the head (Mars at the Ascendant), most likely because someone wanted to steal his money (seventh house co ruler in the eighth) and he might have been knocked out for a short time (eighth house ruler in the twelfth). It is very possible that he survived this attack and suffered some memory loss because of it. I just can't say for sure. The death pattern disappears by 5 AM but the period of unconsciousness continues. In fact, each first house ruler travels into the twelfth one right after the other for a period of two hours or more. Without a stronger pattern of aspects indicating death, I will not say that he died at this time. But I will say he was most likely knocked out. This may be the reason he never came home, even when he had thought he would eventually.

There is a good chance, looking at the events that appear to have occurred on this night, that Shane Fell is still alive. He could be suffering from memory loss or amnesia, which would fit a lot of the aspects I see here. But the charts do show him making the decision to run off, to avoid recrimination for the accident, to let it all go. The charts also show him contacting a girl he knew for money and making her a part of his overall plan. And the charts also show him being assaulted, most likely over the head, during a robbery and being left unconcious for more than hour. I hope this analysis helps the people who are searching so frantically for this man. It may very well be he doesn't remember them or that he has even forgotten his own name.

So these charts appear to be saying what many people already believe. That Shane ran off and he is living in the area, in hiding, not wanting to be found. There is certainly no reason to beleive otherwise and there are no ominous death patterns that play out in these charts. There does appear to have been an incident where he was attacked over money or belongings but otherwise he appears to be alive and well. Where is he? Well, the charts don't say exactly but they do indicate a few things that can be considered. There are no markers that show him leaving the area. At least not right away. Although there is one thing, that the node is in the ninth, which shows what he might have planned to do. The ninth house rules major highways, living on the road, travel to foreign countries, truck driving, long distance hauling, freight and trains. The sign Sagittarius supports this scenario, which could very well mean he had plans to leave the area to go somewhere far away at some point. The disposition of the node by Jupiter in the first house in the sign Taurus tells me he did not have the means or the money to make this move right away. It was a long range plan and with Jupiter in Taurus he planned to work for the money to make this happen. Again, Jupiter is disposed of by Venus which rules the seventh house so I am thinking maybe he was hoping on someone to help him. A woman, most likely, who had good feelings for Shane and would be willing to help him. This would be a woman he liked very much and had a good, happy relationship with. She would be able to get him work or to lend him money. Descriptors for this woman center around Venus in Gemini, which makes her small in size with dark hair. She may wear glasses. She may have a twin sister. She may live in a mobile home or she may move around a lot, not staying in one place for long. There is a possibility she has two homes, one in Louisiana and one elsewhere. Perhaps he would plan to go to her other home and start over in that city. There is a very good chance that this woman has children and that Shane is familiar with her children.

From these findings, I would strongly suggest that persons reading this and living in the southeastern portion of the US keep their eyes open for Shane Fell. His family would really like to know that he is OK even if it does not mean he will want to come home.
