She Didn't See It Coming

At the police station, the IT team tells Jayne they have found the Facebook group discussing Bryden’s case. Jayne reviews the posts. She reads the post in which “Emma Porter” claims it was her idea for the police to use a cadaver dog to find Bryden’s body. Jayne remembers that Lizzie said the same thing to Jayne in an interview, and when she deduces that Emma Porter is Lizzie’s pseudonym, she wonders if Lizzie murdered her sister.

Jayne interviews Lizzie at the police station. The detective states that Lizzie was not as close with Bryden as she claimed to be, given that Lizzie did not know about Bryden’s affair. When Jayne asks Lizzie the reason for her online activities as Emma Porter, Lizzie says she was trying to help the investigation and did not tell her parents about it because she felt they would not approve.

Lizzie explains that her parents do not approve of her interest in true crime because they think it is “disgusting, unhealthy.” Jayne posits that Lizzie likes posting in the group because she “enjoy[s] being in the know” (294). Lizzie denies this. Jayne says Lizzie’s posts suggest she knows a lot of details about how Bryden died, and she asks if Lizzie was jealous of Bryden.
