Yes they did seem to suggest she was dead by just showing her mother and her in photos. Strange choice. I assume they expect no one to complain as surely it's great she is alive and well? But I was expecting her death to be mentioned all the way to the end.
I said the same thing to my husband. I genuinely thought she'd committed suicide because of his actions.
Glad she hasn't, obviously.
I suppose they wanted to get the point across that stalking can and does lead to deaths.
