You're all missing the big picture and the one person nobody has susoected. A killer wanting to get away with itnsnd conceal their guilt is one who hides in plain sight by being on their best behavior and it showing major transformation from bad behavior or lashing out to to good behavior and putting up a front. Innocent people get angry or mad when accused of something they know they didn't do. Whos behavior has shifted from bad to good and loving and caring and from rebellion to I now listen and take advice. This is the only person who could've killed tom with the means, know how, motive defintily after the fight and seeing Ben go to jesses and 99.9 percent went and saw him tuck tom in and play tooth fairy making assumption tom is your son at the time which was a mere coincidence it turned out to be true. They had hatred for jess and sense of betrayal after being loyal and helpful for so long. They had access to the murphey house which if the killer witnessed Ben and Tom they noticed he entered the back door and locked the door as he left the house so this person needed "their" key one could say which by the esy where is the key to the murphey house the Crawford's have? Perhaps the killer dropped it from their persons accidentally when in the act if killing tom and since it was raining lost an buried in the mud undiscovered until season finale I bet with guess who's prints on it considering if killer used key they'd be last one to touch it. But also the flashlight doesn't have to be replaced by the killer. Either killer did to implicate Ben as blsme for their families travesties or perhaps s young one saw her sister follow dad to jess murpheys when Ben left the cab and wanted to see what he was up to. Saw DSD cover jess tuck tom in plsy dad and tooth fairy and assume he's been lying when he said it was 1 time you're his dad and know it and are banging jess for 6 years and you live a double life and how betrayed she'd feel by Ben and jess whom she donates her time watching tom while mamma is banging my dad. Explains why tom would not be alarmed if she woke him saying something like he tom your Dad is outside and really misses you and wants to see you. Since tom just told Ben about his dad not caring. When Ben leaves she beats him home sneaks out later and as she gets the flashlight Abbey wakes or already awake planning on catching Santa this year looks out to see Natalie sneak out and taking dad's flsshlight going back to toms and going in then sees her leave with tom and then returns without him. Figuring it out sister killed tom from mornings events Abbey knows Natalie did it and DaD is suspect cud they can't find the flsshlight . knowing Nat has it somewhere searching like she's searching for presents finds it and in s hurried rush tosses it in dads truck not realizing forensics or it was murder weapon not taking s close look st it. She knows Dad didn't do it and doesn't want him in prison but also sister did and I have to protect the guilty and save the innocent which explains Abby's suspicion of guilt. Not did she did it did she knows who. I don't think nat is aware Abby knows. When Cornell visits Natalie to question at home Cornell says I just need to ask you s few questions and her response is "do they have to be in here?" Cornell replies yes you're a minor. Natalie thought she'd been caught and was going to confess and didn't want mom and Dad to be tortured by hearing it. When she is asked about 2 nights before his death and pawning tom to Vanessa a sigh of relief she conceals well. She also told Tyler and thsts cud you didn't kill anybody. But why is she so sure? Cruz she did. It explains the first 3 episodes with her anger and acting out having sex partying getting drunk dating 21 year old she's banging. She's living it up before she gets popped for murder. Realizing only later my Dad is actually telling the truth like Abby swears he never lies and that he only slept with jess 1 time and didn't honestly know tom was his. She also is 2nd theory for returning flashlight wanting to frame Dad out of snger. She may have told Dave about her killing tom when drunk cuz shortly after he has a sudden interest in the returned flashligt and disposal of it protecting Natalie and Ben whom both he loves and care for like family. But can't tell Ben of cours . Ben is going to find blue jacket abbey picked up in the guest house and reelaize it was Abby and before he can confront her there's Cornell Ben caught red hande . Instead of spilling the beans like he's been waiting for to rub in her face. This is not the way he pictures this moment and takes the fall protecting Abby whom cornell suspects. Cornell doesn't believe but he insists by providing location of flashlight and forces Cornell's hand to make an arrest. Persistsnt and not buying it after he remembered everything with the tooth if toms that can confirm she knows he's covering. Returns to crime scene only to find the KEY piece of evidence. The Crawford's Key to the Murphy's with none other than Natalie s prints on it. And we finally see what happened to tom from her account and her confession and Ben is released assuming they arrested Abby only to learn it was Natalie that abby was covering for which implied her guilt that made Ben sacrifice himself for the girls livelihood cuz he's s great father they mention all the tim . Ben covered uktimstly cuz he feels soley responsible for toms death by his actions with jess. If it's not the missing key they find it'll be Natalie's clothes she had on that night with toms blood cuz those have to be somewhere or her shoes. Only thing i can't Tie together is how Cornell knew the killer was wearing s blue jacket which matty had? If she knew of its existence surely she would've had it in evidence locked awa . How could she know if evidence like an article if distsnct color if she never knew it existed or the killer had it? My only thought is based on toms attire he was found dead in when sesrching jess Murphy's house for anything unusual noticing her blue rain jacket like toms is missing so cornell asked Dave if Ben had one and kept that between her and jess. Only thing I can think of. Other than that case closed. Its the only scenario that explains everyone's behavior accurately from all of them. Bottom line Natalie is your killer
