* MacGuffin: Crazy Pete, an elderly man from the neighborhood whose name in the community derives from the fact that he only comes out at night. At the end of the film, he is revealed to be Dear Johnny's father, and his only coming out at night is his coping mechanism in dealing with the grief over the loss of his family even 25 years later. Evidently, he'd been out at a bar the night the murders took place, and the guilt over not being there to protect his wife and son led to him being unable to face people, or even himself. The girls apparently befriended him in the following years, although until the present sequence only Samantha knew he was Dear Johnny's father. Teeny mentioned that after moving to California she'd send him a bit of cash every year, but the previous year it had been returned, after which Roberta informed her that he had died.
