Deanna Graham could be right in her prediction about searching for staff, but I would disagree with this as she would just press the "Lobby" (or G, whatever they use) button to take herself down to where there are plenty of hotel staff, instead of pressing all of the other middle buttons as well. This is to confuse her threat(s) as to what floor her room is located in. She immediately presses all the middle buttons. Notice when she initially walks into the elevator. Perhaps she was reciting what she was planning to say to her pursuer, if he found her? I really don't believe there was anybody outside the elevator at the time though. It also seems at one point that she is talking to somebody, but the more I think about it, the more I believe she is actually just RECITING, or talking to herself. "Why me? I should have never come here!" Add in her hand movements from the video and her exasperated laughter while she has these thoughts and you will find that her actions in the footage will be consistent with her emotions. They are merely a physical manifestation of her confusion of the elevator not working and the fear stemming from the person (people?) following her. Her hand movements and laughing, while on the surface seem odd, are actually completely consistent with her feelings in the current situation shown in the footage. She likely has not been exposed to such situations, and probably has a low threshold for them as a result. Regardless of whether you believe you would be calm or not, keep in mind this is a girl who has grown up in a relatively safe area (Vancouver) with a normal life at home. To better understand this, try to imagine what you would do if you encountered a threat (say that you noticed somebody was following you with what you perceive as malicious intent). Instead, it looks to me more as if she is in extreme panic. It does not look to me as she is on any drugs nor was she in the middle of a mental crisis, though I understand why some would confuse it as such. Though the actual information we get from the LAPD footage is limited, I was able to roughly outline what might have been happening. I have re-watched this video countless times, and each time I've put myself into her position, to see what she sees, to hear what she hears, and to feel what she does.
