DNA shenanigans *spoilers*


The big news now is that the blood on Cam's hypodermic needle was not a match with the Silver Bells Killer, but there is a familial match with the killer's blood.

We've already seen Brady the detective take a hair from his wife's brush that his wife had planted on the brush (rolls eyes!). So bogus test results aren't out of the question.

Dana the DNA analyst is a little strange. If she was willing to lie and take the blame for messing up the hair analysis for Brady for a "boat," maybe someone else got to her too?

Is it possible that when Brady gave his boss the needle with his brother-in-law's blood on it that someone tampered with it or with the results?

Just a thought.

That's always possible but I don't think they would go down that road again. I was fed up with Brady's wife giving him a hard time. He was risking his job to try to protect her family and she got mad at him. And putting someone else's hair in a brush to "test" him? That's just weird.

I think Brady is the only reliable narrator on this show, because at least we know his motive. He loves his wife and wants to protect her. At this point he's probably the only one that isn't hiding some deep dark secret and hasn't murdered anyone. If anyone figures out who the real murderer is, it will be him.

And yes, I guess it would be good to limit the suspects to just the family members. Although I was beginning to suspect the crazy next door neighbor! 

Maybe Tess planted the hair on her hairbrush because she's the Silver Bells Killer? Possible. God I live this show! ?

Isn't Tessa too young to be the killer?

reply

Sorry...meant Tessa. And she would've been young but there's an air about her that has me wondering. I may be wrong but I don't think it's Cam or Garrett because that seems too obvious. Idk. I absolutely LOVE the show and suspense though! ?

reply

She is too young but can't help but think there might be a twist involving her. They are going out of their way to make sure we know how sweet and innocent she is.

The Crazy A** nephew tried to kill the twins, so not too young. I think Tessa is like a "Bad Seed" and I think a 9 y.o. could strangle an adult. I think she's the killer and Garret and parents were protecting her.
