Rachel believes that during her marriage to Tom, she took out her frustration and anger on him. Because of this, she believes that something violent could have transpired during the hours she cannot recall on the night of Megan’s disappearance.

It remains to be seen whether he told Rachel the truth about her actions, or if lying about her behavior was another way of exerting control within their relationship.
