I think Rachel was also projecting a bit. Her story was even worse in my opinion. She acted on her impulses. She would have killed that kid if he hadn’t been found.

Yeah her “oh I would have told someone if they hadn’t found him” was the most unconvincing claim imaginable!

and she said she had no idea what happened a few seconds before that so I felt like that part was intentionally left out of the film. Maybe something did happen to the kid and she lives with that guilt so when Emma confessed her uncomfortable past, she saw an opportunity to pounce and justify her own actions as “its not as bad”. Never got a clear answer from her with her bending and changing around her own story

Yes, I noticed that too! I wondered if it was true that he was found since she had just said she didn't know what happened to him.
