How’d she know? (spoilers)


How did she know that he still drove a pick up truck? What if he had a car and put the rolled carpet in the trunk? How would the kid have escaped then? Even if he had a pick up when he abducted her, he might have changed vehicles.

This seems like a plot hole, unless somehow the guy talked about his pickup with her.

I forgot how she knew, but remember she made him practice unrolling himself out of the rug.

He seemed like the kind of asshole who would casually conversate with his rape victim, so I'm guessing he probably bitched to her about having to pay for some truck part when she asked for basic necessities.

I thought the same thing lol. If he bought a sports car in the intervening years, the lil twerp kid would be dead.

I also considered how does she know he'll actually do what she says, and not just bury the kid alive in the backyard? THAT would be 100x worse than never escaping and tbh 10x more likely than everything going exactly right. Old Nick got caught for having half a heart
