The exact words Laura said to Coop in the above- mentioned sequence were "MY FATHER KILLED ME." Laura never said her father's name. It has been mentioned by several posters that one off-the-wall possibility is --> Leland is NOT Laura's father. Ben Horne, maybe? Before anyone catches me on this, I admit this doesn't explain the fact that Leland remembers killing her as he dies in Coop's lap. But we're talking about things concevied by David Lynch! I think his vision of the 'truth' (no philosophy flames, please) was not completely aired. (I will resist the strong urge to flame the Nielsen system into rubble.) The blood on the note was indeed Leland's bloodTYPE. So what? Yes, it may have been the rarest blood type. But I'm sure there are more than several people in Twin Peaks with AB- (isn't this the one? I'm not sure). This could be a red herring a la Lynch. Or not. We don't know. And besides, Bob is a pretty evil guy. I think he has it in him to create false memories in Leland. Or not. I don't know; no one except Mr. Lynch himself knows that (assuming that he thought the plot all the way through). Ronald Philip Lee Tanner, BASW Cal 1992.
