Robocop (1987)

Question: Why, when Murphy/Robocop goes to his old house where he lived with his family, why are there burnt pictures/books lying around where he picks up the photo from? Surely, although his wife had moved on, she would not be so heartless as to burn all their memories together, even if she didn't want them she surely would have kept them for her son so he could have them to remember his dad.

Chosen answer: People do strange things in their grief. She may very well regret burning them for the very reason you suggest.

Answer: Besides, it's the future. Just like in real life, she may have had those photos stored digitally.
