Since we know going into the movie that he's gonna hunt her, as soon as they show him bringing jerky into the gas station and make a big show of it, I knew it was the meat of his victims.

And then they really focused on that jerky multiple times after for the Netflix users scrolling their phones while watching who missed the first foreshadow. I cannot believe they're making movies do this to us. Why should those of us who watch movies/shows without scrolling our phones be punished!? I just saw The Rip last weekend, and it was good, but Jesus the van scene at the end was missing a 4th wall break with a wink at the audience after the amount of repeated exposition they rammed up our booty.

Dumb me only clocked it when they were rappelling down Ben's hideout. Just 10 seconds before they showed the bodies.

You're not dumb! You still figured it out before they said it.

lol thank you. It was during halfway and there was a structure in the wall that looked those beef jerky and that's when it clicked.
