Question: Why did Bob have the snakes? Is it linked to the snakes that scared Alex as a child or is it just a coincidence? If they are supposed to protect the evidence in the crates, they wouldn't be in plain sight.

Trivia: When Keller looks at the newspaper detailing Bob Taylor's suicide whilst at Holly's house, the reporter who wrote the article is called Aaron Guzikowski. Aaron Guzikowski is also the name of the movie's screenwriter. (01:51:15)
