Emma's dog, Ralph, is a trained guide dog. These animals are trained to focus on assisting their owners, specifically to ignore distractions in their environment and to obey their masters instantly. Yet Ralph barks when Emma walks down the stairs, he pulls away from her in the car park to investigate something and he chases the man ignoring Emma's calls to come back. These behaviours are totally out of character for a guide dog.

Detective John Hallstrom: Did she have a boy friend that you know of?

Emma Brody: The last time I looked I was a little girl. And I, I blink, and I look like my mother.
