Maggie has been sitting on the porch for six hours. The house is now a crime scene. Police questioned her and Dane separately before Alcott sent him home. Maggie tells Alcott that the skeleton must be Petra’s. Alcott says the body must have been put in from an access point above. The Book had mentioned the loose boards, covered with a rug. The opening would have been in the Indigo Room. Maggie wonders if this is why Elsa was there when she first returned.
Maggie tells Alcott that she doesn’t know if her father was capable of the murder, but she doesn’t rule it out, particularly in light of his final words. She thinks about Prince’s near accusation. If her father is guilty, he’d have had to kill Petra and hide the body during a return visit.
Hannah approaches and demands to see the body, which is being wheeled out on a stretcher. She asks if there’s anything else. A cop shows her some bags of clothing: a bra, panties, and a stained T shirt. Hannah says the remains belong to Petra. One of the bags contains her gold crucifix.
