Same here. Their accents were completely different too. Wonder where the super-sleuths are now? cwydro Feb 2021 #73

Not to mention that the FBI would have known if it was her mom or not. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #78

Did I miss Farrow explaining how she knew the interior layout so well? FreepFryer Feb 2021 #20

It's in the article. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #22

That explanation doesn't ring accurate to me. She describes aspects of a room she can't see (Nt) FreepFryer Feb 2021 #24

She's clearly lying about several things in the interview. TwilightZone Feb 2021 #27

Indeed. We may find out, Farrow is pretty solid, but not perfect. FreepFryer Feb 2021 #29

Did she, though? greenjar_01 Feb 2021 #26
