Hmmm, everyone's a suspect right now but I don't think he did it. Doesn't seem to be the direction of the show and would ruin one of the two good vibe's we have (father/daughter). Could you explain how you came to that conclusion?
Sure. I personally hope it isn't true. And it is definitely based upon sketchy data. In fact, the more I think on it, the more I just came to the conclusion that Keith needs to be considered as a suspect as well. Not that he is the primary suspect.
First, looking back, I can see a couple of points that hint that Keith is aware of Veronica's patronage. Specifically, the episode with the pregnant girl and her boyfriend. Keith made several comments about how stand up it is to raise another man's child. Could be personal comments. Could be irony. But it's something to think about.
Second, if Keith had recently (at the time of the Lily murder) become aware, it would provide some motive. To hurt Jake. In addition, it provides motive for attempting to pin it on Jake. What better revenge than to take his daughter (similar to how he has 'taken' yours) and stick it on him. And, as Sheriff, he's in the place to do both effectively.
Third, we saw in the last episode that he does have that 'edge'. He can be dangerous when he chooses to be.
Anyway, like I said, I hope it isn't true and I don't think it is. Just a new wrinkle I thought of.
Off to eat turkey! Happy Thanksgiving and may your family life be better than the Kane's!
