Not Showing Up For Funeral

Just her not showing up for the funeral would send off all kinds of alarm bells. First her story has plenty of grey areas. Someone will ask her where she was. Her phone will place her at the home where she placed the call. Plus, the shooting and the placement of bodies would be looked at a lot harder with a cop being shot. He shot fist, so it would have to be the perfect body placement for the bad guy to have returned fire and kill the officer. Especially the way the angels will be measured. The bad guy was on the floor so was the bullet entries will have to match that.

The position of the bad guy to be standing where she shoots the cop might be the wrong position the scene is calling for to make her story right for a double shooting homicide. Her act is hard to create so fast and to get it perfect, it would be almost a miracle to pull it off.

It says in the beginning it is based on actual events so she probably did get caught in the end.

I cannot understand why so much of the OP statement is missed by the viewers and the writing staff. You cannot have a dead cop with so many loose ends.

His daughter figures it out in the end.. When she keeps rewinding the voice mail. ;)

Which I thought, OK she is like her Dad and is going to pursue this; fine. But there was really nothing shown, in the film, to make her that suspicious.

The baby crying could've been anything. She is a cop for god's sake, Maybe she was in a coffee shop. I don't have kids yet there are cyring baby's all around me. Nobody would find it odd if there was a baby in the background of my phone-calls.

The sound of the babies is something. Remember The babies went missing.The cops would not be stupid not to realise that the babies were taken were there not very long ago. The daughter is suspicious,because She had spoken to her father through the speaker,before being killed. She might think about the last two shots fired at Cusack a while later.They both were alive after Cusack kills Dallas.

Yeah the daughter is on to her but presumably she's made a whole new identity for herself and disappeared from her old life. She'd probably have planned that a long while back.

However if she's ever caught, she's done for. DNA tests will show who the kids really are and any falsified adoption papers she has (if she even has those) would be quickly discovered as false.

Some things that don't make any sense though...we see in the minivan at the end, one of the babies is black. Presumably this was the one baby at the very end (which she didn't somehow hide), fathered by the nurse, and she's holding in the towel just being born. Certainly with the police arriving, the baby would have been taken to hospital along with the mother. So, how on earth did she get that child? Perhaps that's another child altogether but that's never really shown so we don't know.

Also even the kids she did hide, where the heck did she hide those kids? I mean yeah she had some time because she's the one to call in the crime scene but not that much time. She couldn't have hidden them in her car or anything because her car wasn't there--she got there along with Cusack's character in his vehicle. And the dark sedan belonging to the killer would surely have been confiscated and searched as evidence. Crying babies aren't exactly easily hidden either, with the noise they make and all.

Remember, the girl that was taken from the hospital was on her 2nd pregnancy. The first was when she was rapped by the male nurse in the hospital. The 2nd pregnancy was from the Bad guy. So, the baby went with the mother to the hospital. Plus, it showed a clip of the black baby in the nursing room before the pregnant girl have birth.

Also, there a quick scene with she was seen running back to the house from the car( her partners) . It was at this moment she was running back from hiding the babies

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but not showing up for a dead police officer's funeral is more common than you think. It certainley would not send any "alarms".

As for where she was when she placed the call, I'm not sure what specific call you're talking about. From the suspects home? She was there, that's not a big deal. The shooting angles etc, if you recall, it's suggested the suspect was standing when Cusack shot him. Who's to say who shoots first? A shotgun is a hard wound to plot trajectory on, and he was standing when he was shot the first time. Why couldn't the suspect once wounded, shoot again? The partner says I'm downstairs. Who's gonna put anything more together?

Cusack is established early on as impulsive, I doubt the whole thing would have raised that many questions.

And, as I recall, the partner quits and moves as there wasn't snow in her new location, was there?

As far as being a true story, I would say more based on one small part of a true story. Look up Ed Gein and try to find the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in there. So the story goes, both that movie and Psycho came from that little horror.

The ending just sucked, no two ways about it.

The cops already had their two killers that are now dead. As far as they are concerned the case is closed. There is no reason for them to even suspect her. I doubt they would care since they have other cases to deal with.
