What happened to her head

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2009)

On this page it is indicated that Thorwald dug up the hat box with her head in it and then reburied the hat box, but at the end of the movie, after the police arrive and talk to Thorwald, the cop who's Stewart's friend asks the cop who had been talking to Thorwald if he had mentioned what was buried in the flower bed. That is when it's revealed that he had dug the body part up and then had put it in a hat box and it was in his apartment. The friend cop then asked the nurse if she wanted to see what was in the hat box and she said, "No thanks. I don't want any part of it." That's why Leeza and the nurse didn't find anything when they were digging in the flower bed. It is assumed to be Mrs. Thorwald's head in the hat box.
