1. Is Lori suspicious?
For weeks, viewers have suspected Amelia, Wayne’s wife, of foul play. She seems much too enthusiastic about the case; what better way for a murderer to hide in plain sight than to investigate the murder herself?
In Episode 5, we get formally introduced to Lori, the woman who Roland met at the church questioning in the prior episode. She and Roland have moved in together. And already, people are wondering if she also had something to do with the abductions and killings.
The evidence for this is scant: She’s close to the case, she’s not a suspect (which, by Agatha Christie law, means she is a suspect), and she majored in poultry science, a direct call back to the Hoyt chicken CEO, whom we suspect had something to do with Julie’s abduction, because he wanted a grandchild to replace the one who died.
Lori probably didn’t do either deed herself. But if she is works for Hoyt, as her degree might imply, she may know more than she’s letting on. And if Wayne is the one who discovers this connection, that might be one of the several grudges that old Roland is carrying.
