The movie opens with Clarice making her way through the FBI building, where she is clearly one of the few women in a male-dominated environment. This theme continues throughout the movie, and it implicitly pays off in the end, as it is actually Clarice's unique female point of view that solves the case: a lead from Hannibal Lecter convinces her that Buffalo Bill was familiar with his first victim, Fredrica Bimmel. When visiting the Bimmel residence, Fredrica's father implies that the police already searched the house for clues many times, but nothing was ever found. Clarice finally finds the most important clue to Bill's identity hidden in the false bottom of Fredrica's music box; this is a typical spot where young girls hide secret items, and one that none of the other investigators, undoubtedly all male, ever thought to check. The original script actually contained an omitted scene where Clarice specifically asks Crawford's permission to re-investigate Fredrica's room, expecting to find clues that the male officers have missed.
