Did anyone else think there was going to be this twist?

After Abductor leaves the house in a different vehicle to "go to the store", two of the three stooges eventually break inside the house. As they were walking inside the house looking for the little girl, did anyone think there was going to be a twist; that the abductor found the microphone (I forget if they discovered the microphone inside the house before or after finding the girl) and acted for their ears (going to the store) while he was actually driving the girl who-knows-where in a different vehicle for which they did not have the license plate (or any other details, except maybe the camera caught some of it as it departed) nor the microphone? I thought the ending would be where they discover this, and the girl just goes mad searching through the house in an endless loop, or having some kind of breakdown.

This being a found-footage film, I figured the child would turn out to be demonically possessed or a baby Bigfoot or something. Disappointing. ;-)

Yeah it needed something at the end, I agree. It kind of ends anticlimacticly, and then goes on to literally spell out what happens with text on screen instead of showing us. Like they ran out of money and said screw it, just end it however.

Him having her locked up for a reason would have been a much better ending, and at least somewhat explained why the police called off the search (someone on the force knows what she really is, etc)
