she ended the manhunt. >> Finn: Believe me, I would
love to be wrong about this. All right, the thought of
having to deal with my mother again and the threat that
she still poses to our family if she's alive and out there?

Best way to do that is to make people think you're dead.

Sheila's I.D., busted phone from the alleged
bear attack. >> Finn: Check this out.
Sheila's hair. The roots are still attached,
which would indicate that it was pulled out, not cut,
which would be in line with an attack.
>> Steffy: Or she yanked it out herself.

think about it. Everything here indicates
a bear attack. When you look at every single
item individually and know who you're dealing with?
