What the hell??
How can a detective go tell a woman her child is dead when no body has been found? They actually closed the case without finding a body. What the hell is going on?
shareChances are now they'd wait for more evidence before making such an assumption. Maybe not a body, since murder trials have occurred without a body, but certainly more than a pair of bloody underwear & a "questionable" past.
He's a good suspect, but I couldn't see them formally charging him. But I could see them maybe trying to get the mom to embrace the possibility her son could be dead. But how everyone, including her friends & even strangers, was basically saying she was in denial & she had to except Alex was dead was way out of line IMO
I'm trying to figure out a movie I saw in the 80's.
Does anything like this happen in this film?
A child is kidnapped and taken to a wooden house / shack / possibly in the woods, or at least secluded. I'm not sure if the tone is lighthearted or more dark. I'm leaning more towards the kidnappers being scary. It think it is a wooden house with wooden plank floors.
Scene 2: a child is in a wooden box or coffin and appears dead. The box seems to be in a wooden area, not the normal coffin place of a funeral home or cemetery where there is typically green grass. This detail may make it lean more towards a box or container since a funeral in the woods seems unlikely.
It does happen, even today, and with less evidence than a pair of bloody underwear. Do some reading on the Sierra Lamar case in Morgan Hill CA (near where I live), as her body still hasn't been found - but they've already charged a suspect, with the most "damning" evidence being a hair found on rope in his car. His trial is scheduled to begin soon, and I'm curious to see how it plays out!
