Lisa (Alexander) is shown to be alive. After Frank (David Kallaway) kidnaps her with the help of Knuckles (Ethan Embry) who serves as the handyman for her folks, she is locked up in one of the trailers in the woods where there is a drug operation in full flow. While Will (Butler) manages to kill Frank and an explosion kills Oscar, Detective Paterson (Bill Hornsby) and the police arrive at the scene. When Knuckles told the detective that Lisa was dead and he was the one tasked to dig a hole, it felt the movie had a tragic ending in store.
However, Will searches the entire section and manages to find a bound and gagged Lisa in one of the trailers. The movie ends with him and Paterson shaking hands and the latter not taking action despite Will killing a few of Franks's men. Things also appear to be better for the couple as Lisa decides to give their relationship another shot.
'Last Seen Alive' has a pretty straightforward ending and there aren't any last-minute surprises. The film was predictable, and there was only one outcome. The baddies were yet to decide what to do with Lisa, so naturally, they wouldn't go as far as killing her off by being too trigger-happy.
