How did Paul... (spoiler)


...get away with killing all those women? He smothered them with a pillow and just left the bodies there, but somehow he never got caught?

Was that his sister he killed? The girl who sent the fake letter back in high school. How on earth did he explain that????

Never do something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset!

reply

Yes, that was his sister he killed back in high school. They don't even try to address how he explained her death. I mean, I know it was a long time ago but still they should have been able to tell that she was smothered. What did he say to their parents and the police? Did he claim someone must have broke in and he found her dead? They just never address it all.

reply

That bugged me too. I know that part was in the past but I was wondering how her death was explained as well. Maybe the scene where the police was looking up his rap sheet, they could have slipped an explanation in there real quick.

This is especially bewildering since the movie is supposedly "inspired by actual events." I say supposedly, because I could not find any mentions of the events in any of the official Lifetime postings or any reviews of the film. If anyone comes across any info about this, it would be nice if they would post the links.

These things always kill me considering dna is present even if you use gloves; sometimes you get a hair or skin cell or saliva or whatever. Just stupid. Even with the sister from long ago, even if the dna system wasn't like it is now. Still so much evidence.

If Jason's pizza forensics are right, then yeah.
