* Susie's icicle comment? Now in the text she says it be the perfect murder weapon. But aren't we supposed to believe Susie is narrating from a time where she had already gone on to big Heaven. If so then she clearly already knew how he would die. So like her regular narration style of getting sidetracked foreshadows the future with FridgeBrilliance

* While not exactly illustrated in the books or movie (and more Fridge Tearjerker than Horror), informing Susie’s classmates that she was missing (and had been murdered) would have been something that would have been hard for both the teachers the aforementioned classmates.

** Jeffrey Dahmer. Similar time period of killing; he, too, looked the part of a Serial Killer, yet when the police came to his apartment after his victim ran away, they suspected nothing. Unassuming, white, middle-aged man, respectable, polite - what's there to suspect?

** This troper, as a young male in the current age doesn't see how dollhouses are supposed to be creepy in that affect. In fact it sounds like a pretty interesting career. And just speaking it would be a very good career for people also interested in architecture and design. (Harvey in the book is also very much a fan of architecture as well)
** To an extent a grown man "playing" with dolls may be considered "creepy" But i don't really see someone making them or having them (or any other mock architecture toys) around isn't really something i'd even be suspicious of someone for. If i were the cops i'd be more suspicious of the blankness of the house then the doll houses.

** In the novel, Hal Heckler (Lindsey's boyfriend's older brother) ''does'' make a point of asking passing motorcyclists and truckers to keep an eye out for Mr. Harvey or anyone matching his mannerisms and description. About midway through the book, [[spoiler:he does come across someone who claims Harvey killed a friend of his]], but due to the nature of the story, the pieces never all quite add up.
*** The biker said that Harvey [[spoiler: killed his mother and that she was the woman he claimed was his fake wife. She was also the only adult Harvey ever killed.]]
