Maybe retired sheriff George wasn't a real smart individual and law officer as a lot aren't'. Although he did make sense in a comment to Margaret; paraphrasing here; "you make the mess and I clean it up" (up with his life). Knowing of the outlawish Weboy's reputation, A smart husband would never let his wife ride in the truck with a Weboy. I would think that a smart lawman would not be laying around in the motel roof waiting for the knock on the door so casually, why not be staked out in the dark in case the Weboys arrive just as they did in the movie. Sorry, but who leaves a loved one behind, even though George was dead, there certainly was ample time to drag him out and return him home for proper burial. I was guessing that Margaret would offer Peter to become part of her life in Montana, darn I was wrong. Lastly, a previous writer commented: "The ending scene is a shot of the rising sun lighting up grandmas face as she drives away in the opposite direction of the sunrise. What???", Grandma was driving west to Montana, the sun rises in the East, so it was to her back with the morning sun reflecting off of the windshield mirror onto her face.
