Is The Lovely Bones a true story?

Yes — kind of. The afterlife storyline, in which Susie watches her family from purgatory, is not real.

Who found Susie's elbow?

Right now she’s in heaven, which she soon learns is her personal heaven – everybody gets one when they die. On December 9, the detective in charge of Susie’s case, Len Fenerman, calls Susie’s mom and dad, Abigail and Jack Salmon , and tells them they’ve found Susie’s elbow bone.

How did Mr Harvey hide Susie's body?

Harvey puts the bag with Susie’s body parts into a safe and dumps the safe into a sinkhole about eight miles from the Pennsylvania neighborhood. Afterwards, he walks around an industrial park. He finds Susie’s charm bracelet in his pocket, and doesn’t remember taking it off of her, or putting it in there.
