Okay sorry but did anyone else notice how much the show was implying that the Safety Commissioner was the killer?
I'm baked and just binged both seasons but here's my case
In the first couple of episodes in Atlanta when Holden first meets the safety commissioner for the kidnapping, Holden comes in and tells SC exactly the profile that the FBI is looking for and how the SC at the end of the meeting says "that it was quite .... instructive". Later in the day at the Kidnapping ransom call, SC came and comforted the victims. As he was leaving he dismissed the FBI instantly followed by the method of how the children being killed changed via now dumping them in rivers.
Even when they have their prime suspect they only get him for the 2 adults then follows the closure of the case BY the safety commissioner the second time. It seems like he was set up as a fall guy or after pressure to close the case certain things were overlooked or ignore to make him the fall guy.
Also the SC was always revisiting the scenes of the crimes where he would comfort victims he was quite a celebrity in his community. There was also the scene at Mayors meeting where parents became outraged before the SC pushed the mayor aside to comfort the crowd.
This last part is just speculation but since not all the bodies were recovered he could have some of the boys as captives and now that they have a fall guy for all the murders. Idk just baked speculation but it doesnt really fit since not all the boys were S/A.
There ya go
