Mr. Harvey puts Susie’s body is in a safe before he dumps it in the sinkhole. The safe functions as its name prescribes—to keep Susie safe from being found. With Mr. Harvey’s discarding of the body we again encounter the theme of destruction: his actions look pre-meditated like he has done this before.
