Psychological Test

Read this question, and post your answer. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right - including me:

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, She believed him to be her dream and she fell in love with him right there but did not ask for his number and no matter how hard she tried she could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister? Give this some thought before you answer. I'll post the answer after some people have had the chance to guess.

This is a really good one, but I've seen it before Matt so I won't give it away. If you get it right it means you're a psychopath, so its prolly a good thing if you don't solve it correctly.

First guess?
Her sister with the aid of the stranger (her lover) killed their mother in order to get to the inheritance?

She hoped another funeral would mean she'd see the guy again? After all, if the guy knew the mother, then maybe he'd come to the sisters funeral...

That's at least the most psychopatic explanation I could think of... Is this based on a real story or is it just some kind of test? Would have been easier to insert an ad in the newspaper asking for "the guy at the funeral"...

was the man her sister?
or the man was married to the sister?
or the man WAS the mother...somehow...

Good one. I bet you're right.

Damn it. I am actually much more dissapointed by the answer than the fact that is false. I thought it would be something really freaky (the kind of thing that makes you slap your hand on your forehead and ask, "why didn't I think of that?" even though there wasn't a chance in hell of anyone getting it. I love those things.)

This is the correct answer. But don't worry, you're not really a pyschopath....

I agree, more riddles please!

[doc_bean]

was the man her sister?

That was my original thought, I guess I'm more into revenge killing than into practical killing.

*hides from self*

she thinks she might be able to see the guy again at her sisters funeral.

I haven't seen this before and I have not read any responses except for Ichi's (the 2nd post in this thread). I think Ichi's reply contributed to the answer I am about to give...

The woman believes that the man would attend her sister's funeral, as she met him at her mother's funeral. Therefore she thinks the death of her sister is justified by her desire to meet the man again.

Edited once I'd read the other responses... someone pass the straight-jacket.
