How Henrik came to the conclusion about Harriets death
How could she run away?
This was the first idea and hope that went through Henrik's mind. But Harriet was a very sheltered child when this tragedy happened she was 16. How could a 16 year old be able to support themselves with no money and no job? |
Was it an accident?
The island that the are on is two miles long with a maximum width of about a mile. There are countless ways to have an accident on this island. But theres a catch, the body would be on the island. Even when they searched every inch of the island no body was found. |
Did she take her own life?
The same rule applies for this answer as if she had an accident. If she committed suicide they would have found her body somewhere on the island. |
Was she murdered?
In Henrik's eyes the only reasonable possibility left is "Harriet disappeared against her will. sSomeone killed her and got rid of the body." |
