Yeah, they would have found him, but then he would become a prisoner again for torturing Alex

I honestly dont know why this is always a question with people. Loki clearly hears the whistle. He would have located the sound and rescued Keller. Then sent him to jail.

I believe that Loki hears the whistle and just thinks that the bang t his head he received after being shot had hurt his eardrum or some blood had pooled up inside it and had caused tinnitus and so he jumped into his car and went to the hospital to get his ears checked out.

The dead body is discovered a few days later after forensics have returned to the house to finish excavating.

Loki sees the whistle between the deceased lips and realises it was an actual whistle he heard and he doesn't have tinnitus so he drives straight back to the doctor for a refund on the expensive ear drops he'd made him buy.

Was the movie faithful to the original script re the ending?

I hope they don't mind if I reprint this last part of the script, simply to reinforce the current discussion --

Tech 2 shuts off the radio and follows his cohort into the house. Loki hangs back. It's dead quiet now.

Loki walks around the yard. He takes a closer look at the Trans Am, staring into its gutted interior, thinking...

He walks back towards the house, looking bothered by something, his mind grinding gears...

He takes a last look at the moonlit yard, then turns around about to enter the house-- when he hears something...

It's very faint but almost sounds like a whistle. Loki turns around. Could have been the wind, but...

There it is again. It's coming from the Trans Am.

Loki walks through the snow to the Trans Am, dread blossoming in his eyes. He hears the whistle again and picks up the pace, almost there as we


FADE TO BLACK


The End.

I would say he was definately found. The final scenes only work because the audience knows he is in the covered pit under the car. As everybody leaves the crime scene one by one we are thinking the worse. And then it builds to when the last cop is about to leave and he hears the whistle ever so faintly. This is sufficient to grab his attention and despite the movie ending there, you just know his curiosity will result in him finding the victim. A tremendous ending in my book.

Aww poor baby has soiled his diaper because he didn't get the ending he wanted. Wah wah wah.

He definitely finds him, it's made clear. He dismisses the whistle at first, but them he hears it very clearly. That little detail makes it clear.
