She has remained friends with Larry...
There is one scene in the film where McVey goes to the toilet and, whilst Bobby Joe Long is out of the room, she leaves fingerprints all over the bathroom. This did in fact happen – Lisa McVey left her prints over different parts of the bathroom hoping that the police would be able to find them and trace it back to her being there.
In the film, Lisa is shown leaving a hair grip with some of her hair in it near Bobby Joe Long’s bed for DNA evidence. Whilst it has been confirmed that she left a lot of DNA evidence behind in the home, it’s not confirmed whether or not her hair clip was one of these in the real life true story or if this was just in Believe Me.

In the true story, red fibres were found at the crime scene of Bobby Joe Long’s other murder victims. These same red fibres were found on Lisa McVey, and were part of the red interior of Long’s car.
There is one scene in Believe Me when police are trying to track the exact location of Bobby Joe Long’s apartment, so they take Lisa McVey in the car from where she was abducted and try to recreate the journey.
