    I think it was her husband that knew what was going on , waited for her to leave and set up the boyfriend for her demise . Intriguing story line !

    When the police investigate the incident they will look at the CCTV footage at the hotel and see that it was not him that killed her. So he’s got nothing to worry about except that he no longer has a mistress. Brilliant!

    When he went inside go call the police, obviously the real killer framed him and put her body in the boyfriends trunk, seeing as he left the keys in the car and the doors open, and then took off. it's pretty self explanatory, you don't need to go off on a tanget about psychotic breaks lol. It's not rocket science. 😂

    Instead of running across the parking lot, how about driving up to the front door

    Both cheaters, one lost her life and the other, well his wife and kids will soon learn the truth and his life will be over too. Sure, maybe the CCTV cameras at the hotel will show he did not kill her and maybe not. However, I wonder who hung up that phone?

    Who would leave their car doors open, at night, in such a situation?? Totally breaks the immersion, totally unrealistic, terrible writing for an otherwise well put together and well acted film. Absolutely implausible, great twist though.

    My theory is that he had a psychotic break. He didn’t really let her go from the parking lot first or he left first so he could stop ahead of her. He falsely created the memories of letting her go, sitting in his car and making the call. That’s why he didn’t know that his description was given. It was the kind of person he wanted to be, but he’s actually quite abusive to his girlfriend. It calls into question everything that happened from the beginning of the video. The only problem with this theory is that his “second” car is red, and his “first” car is white. It could be written off as a mistake on the video maker’s part or it could be symbolic. He is at first having a “innocent” relationship with this woman and they both seemingly really love each other. The viewer wants them to be together, but all is not what it seems. He gets in his “innocent” car from which he watches the murder, but really that’s in his mind only. What really happened, happened in his “crime” car. Someone watched from their car that was white, innocent and pure and he fantasized about being that person. His “crime” car was red as it was destined to be stained with her blood. Her car was white since she was innocent of the crime of course, except for the both of them were participating in the affair they were having, but with him being abusive, she may have never been willing to have an affair since he was married. Maybe before the video started, he told her that he was married and he fantasized that she still wanted to be with him. She didn’t take it well. He left first and met her on the road or just didn’t let her leave. I think it’s also possible that the only white car was hers and his was always red, but then the viewer is left to try to figure out whether or not she ever left the parking lot.

      ​@davidellismartin9619 That's what I thought as soon as I saw the word "theory."😅

    • @JinxMarie1985
      @JinxMarie1985 4 месяца назад

      Thats a very great theory actually. I was in a situation where someone had a mental break and I was there, just as an innocent bystander and was actually st@bbed nine times and I never ever charged the person but of course the police had to. But my statement was clear that this person I knew had a complete mental break...

    • @Daisy-zk9de
      @Daisy-zk9de Месяц назад

      he probably was cheating cause he wasn't getting what be needed at home... which is the main reason why married guys cheat. They're the most p*ssy deprived men on the planet... sad, but true..

  • @kramnostribor1

    So let me get this straight; the husband somehow realises his wife is having an affair and tracks her down, where he lies in wait for her to leave, somehow knowing that she isn't staying the night. Then he pushes her into his car and drives back to the hotel she just came out of and, following a heated argument, kills her. Helpfully for the killer, the guy who she is having the affair with is still there and having witnessed the attack runs back into the hotel to call the police, conveniently leaving his car boot unlocked, allowing the murderer to stash his wife's body in his car. How is this in any way believable or am I missing something?
    Does this not rely on the somewhat crazy assumption that the killer drove back to the car park believing he would find a car available to stash a body?

    In court he should be able to tell them that the killer was in a red Range Rover Evoke and clearly put her body in his car, while he was on the phone in the hotel. The hotel cctv and the 999 call will also flag him as the innocent party. Holes, holes holes.
