Answer 6

The guy takes her in an under ground club house (that's what the murderer called it)and asks her some things. He gives her a drink but she said she wasn't thirsty then he said be polite. i have to go she said but the man said i do not want you to go. then she got up and ran up the stairs he took her leg and stabbed it with a knife and took out her bone. That's how she died! Kinda sad...

Im not sure if he set the thing on fire but i watched it last night and he doesnt leave the girl there he put her dead body in a bag and takes it home then puts it in a safe. At last when they find out it was the old man because the girls little sister brakes into his house and takes the book with his plans in along with a picture of the girl and some hair, he gets rid of the safe in a sink hole.
