re: #239 Hecuba’s daughter

But if she had died, he would have removed the tripwire before contacting the police. So potentially would have gotten away with it.

I surmise the police would have figured it out. The tripwire would need to be attached by something, and if it’s an old house the wood would be shaded by age. Any ‘new’ screws/nails would leave a fresh mark, especially after inserting then removing.
