If you want to stick to what we know, Leland (or BOB in Leland) definitely killed Maddy, and we don't know if BOB killed Teresa Banks. No, a father's blood type is not necessarily (or even frequently) the same as his daughters. Here I'm using "blood type" in its fully general sense: we care about blood types, O, A, B, AB, and Rh + or - for blood donations, but there are many other blood factors that are used for identification. The blood test in no way clears Leland. As for the people claiming Leland's white hair is a continuity error, Ray Wise says he must bleach his hair more than once a week to keep the dark roots from showing. He's working very hard to preserve this hair color. How can anyone think it's some random continuity error? Gack. I believe that BOB never inhabits anyone but Leland, and I doubt that BOB is exactly what the one-armed man says he is (although he may be). -- Joe Buck jbuck@galileo.berkeley.edu {uunet,ucbvax}!galileo.berkeley.edu!jbuck
