The story may not be that complicated, but it provides some scattered clues, and I hope experts can interpret it:
1. The parents' way of sex education for their daughters is incorrect... After the daughter (Lily) stripped naked and danced at the age of 7 or 8, the male protagonist was worried that her daughter would become an adult when she grew up. A slutty woman began to be strictly guarded, and at the same time deliberately avoided her love with the heroine. However, after the advent of sensitive puberty, her daughter developed in the direction he least hoped. In order to isolate her daughter from the outside world, she even moved to a closed town, where social networking sites were strictly prohibited, and her brother (Tom) was allowed to monitor her sister. This seemingly happy family was extremely depressed.
2. Neither siblings like this unfamiliar place. My sister tried to run away from home many times without success. In the end, they planned to run away from home. My younger brother always went out in the middle of the night, maybe it was a way to explore. The male protagonist said Tommy at the police station. Sometimes go further afield to deserts and canyons. . .
3. My sister doesn't like people in the small town. She yearns for a free and easy life. Her interactions with young people in the small town are both temporary and like a deal. She asked him first for her part with the skateboarder. A cigarette, she may be looking for someone who can take her out of this strange land, of course she is disappointed until she meets the black Bottie.
4. Under the temptation of Lily, the stupid Bodie had a relationship with her, but fell in love with her, and finally agreed to help her to complete the runaway (maybe the younger brother didn't know there was Botie in this part).
5. The siblings had a whisper with Botie passing by after frolicking by the swimming pool.
6. The old black woman said that it is first white and then black, perhaps it is a metaphor.
7. After the daughter asked her father to go to the concert without permission, she and her younger brother left in the middle of the night. Maybe she just asked her younger brother to take her to a place. Bottey drove her away (at least one way), and Botie later Tell the police that she's on the other side of the desert, but not sure where, and later there's a scene where Boty misses Lily in the desert.
8. Lily should have run away from home. The police dispatched a lot of manpower and material resources to search, but they were not found. It should mean that she is not dead. Of course, the worst result is that Bodhi promised to send Lily, but killed her in the desert. Boddy hid a missing person notice in the closet after Lily ran away, but only Lily tore up Tom. May be missed.
9. I don't quite believe that one of Lily's parents killed her daughter.
Addition: Maybe the older sister didn't tell the younger brother that she was going to run away from home, but just coaxed the younger brother to lead him somewhere, and then rendezvous with the person who was waiting to see her off, the younger brother got lost in the desert because he was afraid of betraying his father. Asking the younger brother for cigarettes may be the usual method of the elder sister. After the younger brother asked the father for money, they did not buy ice cream. Maybe Lily was saving money.
