Stupidity: The end fell apart. It took convincing to get the police at the picnic area; however, while Jack was cracking up, they just left alone with his gun. After the stakeout was a bust, why didn't the police just question the girl: "Who told you to come here? Who was to meet you here?" Also, they police see a smashed black station-wagon. Was there no connection to the previous child's drawing?

Continuity mistake: The Isuzu truck is always dirty - covered with mud, except the long shot of him driving his boat to the lake. The truck is shiny clean, then he's at the lake for a sunny day fishing, but when he drives away (without the boat) the truck is dirty again.
Jerry Black: I made a promise, Eric. You're old enough to remember when that meant something.
