!!FridgeBrilliance:

* Given the true identity of the murderer, it actually makes a bit of sense that a few possible deaths involve Laura being killed ''by'' the murderer. As mentioned, the mysterious figure doesn't even ''look'' at her - so it's not that hard to think [[spoiler: Lillian simply either mistook her for someone else (one of the ''intended'' targets), [[HeKnowsTooMuch was in the closet with a victim and thus Laura had seen and she had to kill her to keep her quiet]], or maybe as Lillian gets more and more unhinged, she lashes out at Laura]]. This still doesn't explain the shower death beyond simple EasterEgg / ShoutOut.
** It's also misdirection on the developers' part - one of the deaths is ''also'' in the secret passages. Obviously, the killer is ''also'' using the secret passages as well... so this not ''only'' can back up [[spoiler: Rudy's claim that it was the Colonel, in the Bad Ending]], but it also can foreshadow [[spoiler: that it is indeed Lillian - as Lillian basically grew up in the house, it's not unlikely to think she may have discovered the secret passages.]]

* If you take a look at the instances in which Laura can be killed by the mysterious figure, [[spoiler: taking a shower, hiding in the attic, and hiding in the closet]], Laura is simply grabbed and killed without the murderer even looking.

** The shower thing makes no sense, as the killer would recognize Laura's blue dress even if they couldn't make out Laura herself, but the others do. We know that the killer's moving the bodies from the murder scene to the laundry chute. Maybe Laura saw [[spoiler:Lillian]] hiding in the closet with the latest victim. Laura's very last realization would be [[spoiler:that her best friend is a murderer and even she's not safe from her.]]

* In the first game, there's several ways for Laura to get murdered by an unseen figure, even very very early in the game. But once you've beaten the game, [[spoiler:it's obvious that nobody had any motive to kill her, ''especially'' not the murderer, and certainly not that early in the night. She was actually the one person present who the murderer ''didn't'' want to kill.]]
** Possible explanation: The killer didn't want to be caught. Especially if she's killed in the passageways. Dead men/women tell no tales and since [[spoiler:Lillian more than likely used the passageways to carry out the killings]] makes sense.
** Another possible explanation, which admittedly works much better for the shower scene than for the closet scene: [[spoiler:Lillian]] didn't realize that it was Laura, and struck before getting a good look at the victim.

** This is potentially a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation, as [[spoiler:the one suspect in the mansion who likes Laura and doesn't want her to die being the murderer and never killing her would actually give the true culprit away too easily.]] Although near the end of the game, [[spoiler: Lillian]] is so unhinged that she argues with [[spoiler: Laura]] and thinks she's "as bad as everyone else" [[spoiler: if you talk to her while she's writing in her diary.]]
