[OldFriend]

A bit of a discrepancy between this account and one on another forum. Other story says the door shut and locked behind him. Not that he shut and locked the door.

Unless the door self locked when closed there will be hell to pay.

My front door locks automatically & it's not necessarily odd that he would think to take his key with him before escaping.

Could it be possible that the door slammed itself shut between him & Wendy with the differential in heat/air pressure between the apt & hall? Don't fires create a kind of vacuum?(Sincere questions - I know nothing whatsoever about the subject.)

Whatever happened, I suspect the boyfriend will be haunted by this for the rest of his life.

The immense tragedies that have been visited upon this family are so horrific as to be almost unspeakable.
