Cecil, meanwhile, could have been actually tying the wire around the tree. The evidence behind this theory is that Mr. Anderson, a week or two after Moose had mysteriously died, went out to the ravine to check on the handline. A rather strange detail about the trees caught his eye. He noticed burn marks that could have been made by wire loops. Mr. Anderson stated that a length of wire strung around the trees that was high enough to catch someone and toss them into the ravine. This, in my opinion, is how Moose died. Cecil excelled in making things with wire. If he wire could've caused burn marks in tree bark, it could've definitely harmed human skin. Cecil probably got his hand burnt from trying the wire around the tree, which would explain his weird comment about having enough wire to do what he had to do. He very likely may have taken the wire off the tree after Moose fell to his death, and used it to make Mr. Anderson's watch. Mr. Anderson seemed to think that's what may have happened, since he said that he may have been wearing evidence of a murder as a wrist strap. Cecil was a small boy; it was the only way he could ever hope to kill a big man like
