Question: If Susie's body had been in a bag in the safe, how did people who went into his house (Lindsey when she broke into his house through the basement window) not smell her dead body?
Answer: The dog could smell her body even from outside, and he barked and hesitated as he passed near the killer's house. Dogs can smell people from a long distance.
Question: In the scene where the detective tells Susie's parents 'they found blood, lots of blood', how can they find blood if Susie's body was placed inside a locker?
Question: Why did the killer park his car so far away from the hole that he was trying to push the safe into?
Answer: No reason is given, and it made no sense other than it served to draw out the scene as Susie's spirit returns to bid Ray goodbye just as her body inside the safe is about to be dumped into the sinkhole. It gives a sense of finality to her death, showing she is transitioning from limbo to Heaven.
Answer: The only person who went into the basement while the safe was there was Lindsey. The safe was airtight, so the odor at that point would have been contained inside it.
