Interesting theory, but why would Uncle Frank conspire to get Kevin killed? I can see how he might try to gain by robbing his brother, but what would he possibly have to gain by killing Kevin?

It all goes back to the kitchen drama, where Kevin caused the chain reaction that led to the soda being spilled on Frank. Ever since then Uncle Frank had it out for him.

I just read through the trivia on this film and noticed that the original script had Uncle Frank as the mastermind behind it all. I guess there's some validity to this theory!

I wonder if he was responsible for letting a burglar come to the house pretending to be a cop.

wow I NEVER thought of it that way great work in coming up with that its totally believeable

I would see Uncle Frank masterminding it to kidnap Kevin, and then buggering him before having Marv kill him and dispose of the body.
