On the one hand, this would tie in with the theme of the episode, and it would explain the ME's questions about "Are you sure you want to know?" since that's the sort of knowledge that might prove dangerous. But on the other hand, we've gotten no indication so far that Beckett's mother was important enough that anyone would put out a contract on her.2) She's one victim of a serial killer, and the "overkill" on the stab wounds is a signature. This would work without Beckett's mom having any hidden secret that might get her killed, but then it begs the question of why the ME would've been hesitant to say anything.Of course, given that we don't know exactly what he told Castle, it's entirely possible that both of these are way off base. But they're what I'm thinking so far.Any other theories, or even rumors?</blockquote>
