Inevitably (by the film's logic), Dirk kills her after seeing her pictures, and she ends up as just the latest "Jane Doe" the police have to deal with.

Gloria stomps in fuming and angry, yelling about how she is wrong for this project and stupid; reminding her of how much Ethel is in debt to her and threatening to go after her parents for the money.

* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Johnny tries to kill Dirk by having him drive out of state in a car with no brakes.
Added DiffLines:
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Gloria actually thinks this would be the best way of dealing with Dirk once his impulses make him a liability, but Johnny says there's too much of a risk of something tracing back to them, so instead he has Dirk go on a long road trip in a car with bad brakes, which would leave no evidence. Unfortunately, Dirk realizes the car has bad brakes and bails out before it crashes.
