What is the significance of Jen McCabe searching hos long to die in cold at the earlier time?
Bear with me....
I believe she did it as she says when Karen asked her to BUT assuming the alternative theory.....she searches at it at 2am. The dog attacked him. He went to the basement Brian Higgins punched him and he fell and hit his head. But he's not dead. They decide (weirdly) to put him on their front lawn rather than take him and dump him further away.
Jen is searching to find out how long it will take for him to die in the cold?
If he wasn't dead when they dump him (and he wasn't because he died of hyperthermia). So he was alive when they dumped him there and they're all inside trying to work out how long it would be before he died so Jen googled it.
It seems a bit of a tit way to cover up a crime. How do they know he wouldn't call for help or Karen wouldn't come back and pick him up or he wouldn't call someone else and then he would be able to tell the police what they did to him?
I don't get it.
There's not a given timeline anywhere that would make an alternative scenario fit. Between actually carrying it out, planning how to cover it up, contacting other people to also play their part, and not knowing what loose canon Karen would be doing, there is not a timeline that would tie all this up, none.
Let's say Jen didn't see John coming in the house, which is why she kept texting him 'here?' 'where are you?' etc. What then? He was beat up half to death and then she just....went along with it? And searched how long to die in cold, alongside her daughter's basketball game results? Really?
Or let's say she did see him coming in the house. What's going on there, the men are all fighting/beating him up to death, but mastermind Jen has the presence of mind to think 'aha!! I'll keep texting him as if he hasn't come in the house, that'll come in handy!" - but then proceeds to google how long to die in the cold in the middle of the night.
And while the men are beating John up, only half to death, they have the foresight to throw his phone out into the cold to make sure its temperature drops, as well as his hat, so that it freezes to the ground level.
And after all this, Jen and Matt casually leave, giving someone a lift home, with John lying on the lawn. All the other guests come and go. They just all head off to bed as if nothing has happened.
Nope, no timeline that fits.
