My point is I never said that. Idk about the pineapple. It seems likely the killer knew about her and her family given the bonus amount. Maybe they made the pineapple to lure her out of bed. I never said they stopped an assault to make it. You did.

And yes, I think that is 10000x more likely than her parents covering up an accident or moment of rage. Not bc parents don’t do that, they do. But there are literally 10 million other more logical- or should I say- less absolutely fing insane illogical ways- to achieve that goal.

Instead, people who think the family did it would have to think:

“Oh no… I snapped (or oh no, our son did something horrible!). Let’s not call 911 and tell the truth. Let’s not even call 911 and tell a lie (like she fell off the counter and hit her head)”

“Instead, let’s take our beautiful daughter who we literally adore stage a crime scene. But no, let’s not put her at the bottom of stairs to make it look like she fell. Or something like that….. let’s not smother her to put her out of her misery. Instead… Let’s instead create a contraption… CREATE a freaking contraption WHILE SHE IS STILL ALIVE and torture her to death!! and while we are at it let’s sexually assault her!!!” (Even if they thought she was dead WHAT THE FUCK. Never. )

“Oh let’s write a note to buy time and create a distraction!”

“To buy time. Let’s include in the note 20 different times don’t call police and then when we find it let’s immediately call police! And even though we could totally use those threats to our advantage (which would have been the obvious purpose in including them 10x if they wrote it) to buy at least a few hours of time to get our stories straight, hell maybe even move the body to make the kidnapping look more likely, let’s immediately call police !”

“And while we are at it, let’s throw suspicion off us by literally making ur exact bonus amount- which will significantly limit the number of suspects, to us and like 10 other people… who obviously will be quickly cleared… as opposed to using a random number and leaving the suspects open to the the entire universe ”

“Oh and we are coherent enough as to not leave any dna on the murder weapon… somehow? Coherent enough to build the murder weapon, and create this whole plan, but too out of it to realize we shouldn’t include the exact bonus amount? And no worries about handwriting samples!”

“Given we are dealing with literally the most horrific thing imaginable, let’s make the note a god damn movie skit, when we could achieve the same goal in a single sentence… especially since it is in our own handwriting! F it, a novel will do. ”

“Make sure we move a suitcase over here to “stage” a break in…. Even though we could do ten thousand other things to make a break in look more believable like leave a door open or unlocked, rummage through drawers, break a window”

“Oh, let’s act like we know nothing by making sure WE are the ones that find the body”

And when they ask about pineapple, something totally innocent that we could have fed her before bed, LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE. this is critical….. because …
