Why do you think Michelle got the text message, 'I'm coming back for you'? Any thoughts who it was from?

At first I thought it was from the murderer and was surprised in the end to find out it was from Tim.

It briefly passed my mind that it was Tim, but then I thought 'He hasn't gone yet', so the tense didn't seem to fit. And then I thought Michelle would recognise his phone number. So, all in all, I talked myself out of it, :)

I thought it was from the person that had attacked her also...but it would have been TSTL coming after a cops wife at his house.

I thought she was being threatened. It never occurred to me that it might be Tim.

I thought it was the murderer - but how the heck did he get that number? When we learned it was Tim this seemed like a rather senseless and implausible twist in the tale - a cryptic message, from a different phone, no signature?

Nelson had a trace put on the message, did nothing come of that? How come he didn't follow up on it with Rainsford if he thought the killer had sent the message? I can't see Nelson letting this one lie.

What amazed me about Nelson's actions was that he would leave an ongoing undercover investigation and rush home instead of sending someone from the department to Michelle. He compromised the investigation and put his officers at the park in jeopardy. It said he was 30 minutes away. Someone from the station should have been closer unless this whole town is in the middle of nowhere.

I thought all his men were at the Passion Play site. I guess he didn't have an opportunity to look into the phone call. Doesn't make sense that he didn't trace the call.

>9 EadieB: This must be one very small department. Surely there is more than one shift and someone would have to be available at the department...I guess I'm expecting too much reality:) I also was surprised that he didn't trace the call.

As soon as we saw the message I thought it was from Tim. I didn't think it was from the killer as i didn't see him going after her again because I think she was a case of mistaken identity and I didn't see the killer warning her - not a trait we'd seen previously. I don't think Nelson followed up the trace because they already had the killer in custody so therefore there was no risk to Michelle.

>11 Andrew-theQM: I'd have thought Nelson would want to know why the killer (Rainsford) had sent Michelle a text message. I was surprised he didn't ask about it during questioning.

>12 Sergeirocks: Harry really blew this one:)

Yes but it makes it so much more interesting to us.

>13 Carol420: if he'd followed it through he might have got to the truth of the matter.
