Do you think Cassidy and Ellie were jailed afterwards?

I get that they were the good girls in the movie and wanted to do the right thing. And Cassidy was pretty much threatened into keeping quiet. After they dump the body and they say "We wont tell anyone what you did. How you killed Megan with the tire iron"

I just don't think the police would see it that way. They'll just see it as both girls still helped cover up a murder.
And even with the house burnt down there would still be plenty of evidence to bring them in.

Good point. It'll probably take a couple of years but maybe they'll both get some jail time or probation.

What murder? Nobody was left that knew but the serial killer and her sister. It was a weird situation to begin with. I would see the sister as a possible weak link. The serial killer should have killed her, it would be a lot neater that way. BTW how much of a complete psycho was that guy? In the whole movie he's actually the only problem child. Everyone else just got caught up in an unfortunate event.

They'll find Megan's skeleton and determine her identity via DNA. Cassidy's and Ellie's guilt will drive them to confess, but a jury sympathetic to what they went through in the end will let them off or recommend probation.

You REALLY think Maggie would keep what happened to her sister from her parents? That is if Cassy and Ellie wouldn't tell the police everything now, which they certainly would; the one thing they had after the house and everything else burned down around them was freedom from the explosive secret.

[–] SaliceMcD 8 years ago

How are they "free?" There are just fewer people around to blab. They still have their consciences to live with, and are still just as guilty of being complicit in Megan's death, and the cover-up of it. Except now they may be suspected of at least involvement in the deaths of those found in the house - including Megan's, of course. Nothing that happened puts them in a better position re confessing; in fact, they're worse off now if the truth comes out, as what they were involved with led to more deaths.

Does Maggie even know what happened? Hm, can't recall. Anyway, she wouln't breathe a word that would get them in trouble - they're *sisters* now!!

[–] whitespirit26 8 years ago

Yes, Maggie knows, and she'd be MORE likely to blab if she didn't know the whole story. I mean, really, Ellie and Cassidy had been dying to tell, and they couldn't hide what happened to Chugs and Jessica and Claire, so they'd have to explain why.

[–] SaliceMcD 8 years ago

They could explain it by telling the cops what the other girls had *told* them had happened to Megan - just that night, as all the killing started. They became targets of one of the guys who was there to protect his GF when he overheard their being told. (Gee, *they'd* never have been able to keep such a terrible secret for all those months!) No need for Ellie to jeopardize her medical career, and as she'd saved Maggie's life, they'd most likely have the original victim's own sister backing up their story.

I'm not saying that one of them wouldn't crack,
then or later, just that they wouldn't *have* to tell the truth.

[–] whitespirit26 8 years ago

I'm positive Ellie would. She was so guilty about Megan's death she was almost ready to die for it. Are you freaking serious, all three of them lying through their TEETH about what happened?

[–] SaliceMcD 8 years ago

She's paid her dues for her part in Megan's death and its cover-up. Instead of escaping, she womaned up, went back into the house, got the shotgun, blew Andy away (though apparently not completely away) and saved Maggie and Cassidy. Changed my mind. The end-of-the-movie Ellie is not the sniveling mouse she was. Accounts have been settled, and her lips are sealed. On to med school.

[–] whitespirit26 8 years ago

She came back because of her conscience. Again. It was again her putting others' lives ahead of hers in terms of importance and it would be BS to suggest that the movie somehow as good as stated that she'd be quiet now; more than ever it's likely she, Cassidy the moral center and Maggie the sister of the dead will tell the truth when asked. "That was Megan's body in the house, do any of you know why she was put there? Why did your sorority sister's boyfriend have a cleaver in his head? Any idea who shot Mrs. Crenshaw? Who killed either one of your sisters?" Then later, "Any idea who would want your friend "Chugs" and her therapist dead?" Five people already are newly discovered dead and their families deserve answers; the girls are not going to suffer a year for their secrecy only to lie about five or six more dead people, four of which were close to them.

Well a whole lot of people just died in a house fire after a bunch of murders happened. Megans body is inside that house and likely will be identified. Police probably found Chug's phone alone with her body at the psychiatrist's and might be able to see the texts with the bloody tire iron.

Cassidy is certainly going to be questioned and scrutinized quite a bit. Her boyfriend was the guy who killed everyone, and she cant explain his motivation without mentioning how Megan died.
