A photo of the Cecil Hotel, located in the Frontrooms

On a Sunday morning of February 28th, 1988, a man named Noah Lee Jamison checked in for a 5-day stay in Room 205 on the Stay On Main Hotel, formerly known as the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Neighbors of Room 205 hear strange moaning and faint screams of murder in his room in the middle of the night of March 4th. Later, the police busted the locked door and found the room perfectly clean, and all traces of Jamison’s belongings are absent. A pool of blood was found under the bed, and a handwritten note was found later under the foot of the bed.

The last person to have interacted with him is his best friend, Cyrus Shaffer. He went to meet him in a McDonald’s, mere 7 hours before the disappearance. He later reported that “Noah was a little nervous, and paranoid than usual. He was talking to me about a breakthrough discovery, and that he was getting hunted down by the government”. After Jamison left, Shaffer noticed he was “carrying a large green bag, and dumped it in a trash can”. It was speculated Jamison was trying to destroy his documents and belongings, that was later found in a dumping ground.

Strangely, the CNN morning broadcast of the sudden disappearance of Noah Lee Jamison went down for 5 minutes and 13 seconds. It was switched to another broadcast of another news, with a similar reporter. Rumors speculated the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) took down the broadcast to minimize public knowledge of the case.

Background

Childhood

Noah Lee Jamison was born in Reno, Nevada on May 7th, 1961, one of 2 children. Both his mother, Mary Saline Jamison, and his father, Mark T. Jamison, worked as engineers. During his childhood, he had an accident when a stray cat scratched him, leaving a scar on his neck, which was used to help identify the identity of the man. He was described as an intelligent boy, with an IQ of 135, who likes to play soccer in his teens, studies, and likes to draw superhero comics, mainly Superman.

Education

In 1971, at age 10, the Jamisons moved to San Diego. He attended the San Diego High School located on the north edge of Balboa Park. He later got accepted into the prestigious University of California in San Francisco and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree.

Room 205

The pool of blood found under Jamison’s bed contained an unknown virus named after “Edita Hesse”, who was the person who discovered the virus. The virus doesn’t have any records in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) database. The entire hotel was then evacuated as the hotel was blocked from any entry and everyone in the hotel and Room 205 was quarantined and cleaned after the laboratory’s results came out. The note that was found wrote “Dear Owen! They are coming to get me! I have to get out of this place before they catch me. I have to make the report to the M.E.G fast before it’s too late. Sincerely, Noah”.
