The lady said she and her mother had to look at the house, where the little girl was molested and murdered, from their kitchen window,
Burning downthat house may not seem Mr. Spock ice cold logical, but I can empathize that changing that kitchen window view meant a lot on an emotional level.
Besides, burning that house down isn't all that is to be done with that property. It's to be beautified in some way in memory of that little girl.
Dumb big-hearted dino can relate.
I agree there will never be true close, though.

Perhaps it was Closer for her. It does not need to make sense to you or me. Since she said it was, then bravo to her - it was a Clever Plan, well conceived and executed.

Now she needs to get her hands on the bastard who did the rape murder and pull his head off like a pop-um bead.

The house had been owned by the killer's parents.
I do agree with you on "closure" - there is some pain that never goes away.
