There are so so many theories regarding the possible answer to your question. This question has been discussed a plenty no of times in different forums inon the internet. So I see no extra room to come up with my own theories. Some of the theories I found after hitting the Google are:
- During Saw IV, Amanda's ability to pick up the much heavier Allison Kerry's unconscious body into her trap near the beginning of the previous movie is questioned by the FBI, leading them to suspect that there may be a second Jigsaw apprentice. It is unknown how the FBI knew that Amanda was in fact an accomplice to Jigsaw at the time. It is most likely that Hoffman had previously revealed it to the departments to cover up the fact that he was an apprentice as well.
Several theory from the viewers:
- Kerry told about Amanda after Daniel told her, but she never talked about it with any oneanyone except the FBI ( KerryKerry was liason working for the FBI ).
- In Saw 2 , after Daniel MatthewsMatthews' disappearance, when the FBI started to investigate the Tape, they found 6 dead bodies and Daniel Matthews in the Safe, However the eighteighth person was recognisedrecognized as Amanda Young, when they could not track her, they came to conclusion that Amanda Young was the accomplice to Jigsaw.
- Daniel Matthews told about Amanda when allisonAllison Kerry found him. And Allison kerryKerry only told it to Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, That explains why she knowknew that someone else was responsible for the death of Troy in Saw III.!
It also Explainsexplains that allison kerryAllison Kerry, just before she diesdied, was not surprised about by seeingwhen she saw Amanda!!!
- They found finger printsfingerprints of amandaAmanda on Troy's body or something else of The Class Room Trapthe classroom trap!
- I kinda think they found out through Daniel causebecause after they found him they must have take intaken him to to the hospital and then interviewinterviewed him, so he mentions Amanda'sAmanda and himhis feeling hit inon the back or something and then. Then the FBI says, maybe she's an accomplice.
- They watch a record from Saw-2 2. We can't see finalthe end of the record, and I think they saw how Amanda drugdrugged Daniel and taketook his body from the gas house. Saw-4 4 (when we know that FBI already knowknew about Amanda) is far latelater than Saw-2, all 2. All the magazines wrote about Jigsaw, as we've seen)). So anyone inthe police and FBI know about Amanda.
These are all great theories from Saw lovers. I have not putstated any theorytheories on my own. It is kind of a collection of theories. But, but I could not find any official response on it.
Wikipedia states:
althoughAlthough how the FBI knew that Amanda Young was an accomplice of Jigsaw, at this point in time this fact remains unexplained.
