One thing that doesn't have sense

I like this movie very much, but there is one illogical thing: as Crispian says at the end, it was so important for their plan they keep Erin alive, to testify in his favour, so why all the killers try to kill her? They should've left when all the other family members were dead, but they stay in the house trying to catch Erin, which doesn't have any sense, and goes against his plan.

The movie works anyway, but thinking a bit about it you see it doesn't make sense.

Spoiler Alert.

Crispian was lying to Erin. She was meant to be killed along with everyone else, because this would further take suspicion off of Crispian ("who me, benefit from my family's death? I couldn't have done it, I lost my dear girlfriend in the attack"). Erin figures this out, which explains her actions at the end. He knew that Erin wouldn't go along with the plan, and so would sadly sacrifice her to make his loss seem more real.
