I missed first 10 or 15 minutes of movie, sadly, & so became confused later. Was the cop Manning's daughter a hooker herself,or a cop undercover as a hooker, or neither? If neither who was blonde girl called saved from ripper in end?-thought her name was Amanda maybe? Please help someone. I was really confused. Thank you in advance!
shareShe wasn't a hooker or working for the police.
shareI thought it was ridiculous. Why even introduce her into the story? It was so incredibly far fetched to see her as a possible victim.
I see a lot of this in the movie - unnecessary crap trying to make the movie more interesting, but instead it just makes it cluttered.
It's what's called a "Red Herring". Lots of murder/mysteries have red herrings thrown about to confuse the audience.

The final blonde victim was in fact Mannings' daughter, Amanda, and she was neither a prostitute, or working for the police. She was just a single, white female out traipsing the streets alone even knowing full well there is a vicious, homicidal killer loose and attacking in the very neighborhood of which she lived(go figure, but I suppose if our characters in horror films made wise, common sense based decisions..well..then we'd have no horror flicks to watch)
Anyhow, I believe that the reason as to why the killer would choose a final victim that wasn't even remotely similar to any/all of his long list of vics, is due to the issue that the FBI profiler made mention of to Manning in that this particular serial killer had become totally fixated on Manning, personally, thus his choosing his final victim to be none other than his fixated obsession(Chandler Manning's) only child, his daughter, Amanda.
