Talk:Alison DiLaurentis/@comment-1953585-20130124201818

I'm reasonably certain that Alison is alive. That doll was left exactly where Aria "dreamed" that Alison put it and someone definitely took those pages out of her room. However, the body in the DiLaurentis backyard was a match to Alison's DNA. This leads me to one of two conclusions:

1. They're following the "twin" angle from the books.

2. Alison pulled off one heck of a magic trick to fake her death. If she found some random dead body and disfigured it enough, (removing the fingerprints, damaging the face), you could obscure it's identity. And if you know how to hack into a computer system, it's theoretically possible to alter the record of your DNA so that it matches the body that you want people to think is yours.
