Theory - Marion Cavanaugh and Jessica DiLaurentis Part 2 and Toby!

Warning this post contains *spoilers* about the film and novel Psycho and the film The Little Girl that Lives Down the Lane.



If you haven’t read part one of my theory, you can find that here: http://prettylittleblackhoodie.tumblr.com/post/74794228062/theory-marion-cavanaugh-and-jessica-dilaurentis



I know it’s a crazy theory and seems unlikely, but the more I think about it, the more likely it could be. What if Jessica DiLaurentis is seriously freaking Psycho? You know, as in the Novel and film Psycho?



Psycho is another film that Alfred Hitchcock directed and Pretty Little Liars the show is always using references to Hitchcock, as they have already referenced Psycho with using Harold in The Lost Woods Resort and the shower scene with Hanna.



I noticed on Marion Cavanaugh’s Certificate of Death it listed Bates county, Pennsylvania as her birthplace, which apparently is the county that Rosewood is in.



In the Novel and Film, Psycho, the Bates Motel is run by Norman Bates and his mother, Mrs. Bates. A woman namedis on the run with a stolen $40,000 that belonged to a client at the real estate company that she works for. She makes a wrong turn off the highway and finds herself at the Bates Motel.Blah blah blah a bunch of storyline and then ** Norman kills Marion as she’s in the shower (reference to the Hanna shower scene).Then ** at the end you learn that Mrs. Bates is actually Norman Bates (as he has developed a split personality) dressing up and doing the voices of his mother. She has been dead for a long time and Norman had forged a *SUICIDE NOTE* and then stole her body that he kept preserving and stored in his fruit cellar.Now, here is where I have a conflicting theory in my mind. On one hand, I go with my Jessica DiLaurentis Theory. I can continue on that path with the idea that Jessica DiLaurentis owns the real estate agency in Rosewood. To me, it would be likely that she may own Charon and Sons funeral home where she could’ve been keeping the body to preserve it. There’s also the idea that Jessica owning a real estate company would have access to a lot of places to store a body.So when people point out that Marion Cavanaugh had been dead for years prior to Ali’s disappearance, all I can say is don’t rule it out. There are ways to keep preserving a body, and there are many stories in film and novels that involve people doing this. Check out Psycho or Jodie Foster in the film The Little Girl that Lives Down the Lane. In that movie, the girl does keep bodies in her cellar that she preserves while also pretending to be her father even though he is dead as well.My theory is going to take a turn now as I branch away from Mrs. D and onto Toby Cavanaugh. Maybe the Marion storyline really has nothing to do with Ali and they decided to just throw in this whole other story b/c we’re finding out more about Ali now. Toby could have a split personality and may have stolen his mother’s body. I think it’s possible that Toby is the Norman Bates character. You know how he just disappears for a while and Spencer doesn’t question him on it? WTF, Spencer… I would question him and follow him! Anyway, maybe when he goes off to these secret places he could be going and doing things to preserve his mother’s body… He may have a split personality and may have been the one that killed his mother. It’s possible he or his dad found that out and that’s why they won’t press the Radley issue any longer.Please tell me what you think!
