Possible Theory About the Letter
Hello,
I don’t know if this will help, but I have a theory that the one-handed man might have been the person who wrote the letter. If the arm that was amputated was his dominant one, he would have had to relearn how to write with his remaining hand, which could explain the poor handwriting.
When Stephen met him, I believe he told some truths, but I also think he lied about the barrel of acid. He might have said that just to make Stephen abandon the search for Jennifer’s body. Have Police or family considered bringing in professional divers to search for remains?
I don’t think her bones would have been moved far from the house at the time. The scent detection by the dogs under the house suggests that, if the body was moved, it had to be done at night and without a car. They couldn’t have carried a body on foot for 2 km without being noticed. Personally, I would search the bottom of the lake behind the house.
One last thought: if the one-handed man did write the letter, and given that he was homeless at the time of filming, he must have received help to relearn how to write. There might be other letters written by him in homeless shelters or administrative offices, like requests for identity documents.
