While she receives discreet otherworldly signs, guilt-plagued Kurt gets increasingly blunt, alarming visitations from Echo, whose cheerfully tormenting spirit is hardly at rest. They also shrug off mom’s later insistence that she just wants to know who the killer is - because the genuine psychic abilities she thought she’d lost have now returned, leaving no doubt that her daughter is no longer alive. The police shrug it off as a probable runaway scenario. Needless to say, Ivy is distraught when she returns from seeing a client to find her daughter missing. We can understand (if not approve of) his choices, even when he realizes he’s made a terrible mistake, and in a panic makes it all very much worse. Ergo he decides not to call police or ambulance, instead loading the apparently dead girl’s body in his truck and covering up all evidence. He doesn’t seem like a bad person, per se - but he does seem like the kind who might have past reasons to expect zero leniency for an accidental crime. He’s carefully avoiding some deer when he hears a thunk under his truck’s rear wheels - something that turns out to be Echo, who’d gone out sledding after dark without mom to watch for passing traffic. Kurt (John Adams), a newcomer in this sparsely populated community, is another loner, who has moved into a decrepit, long-empty house down the road from the Allens’ in order to “fix it and flip it.” One blizzardy night he has maybe a couple more drinks than he ought at the local bar, then drives home.
