So why Henry? He seems to make the most sense to me. Any alibis he may have had are thrown out the window, because any of the victims could have been killed by John Wakefield. Going with the idea that Henry is the son, it would explain why he and Abby never hooked up even though they are close. He is always protecting Abby, not Trish. There's something weird about Abby and Henry's friendship. The killings are "all about Abby" according to victim J.D. (Dean Chekvala) and Henry is all about Abby. Her opinion is always first. He defends her more than anyone else (he got in a fist fight with Shane over her) and seems most concerned for her safety. He always travels with her. He never separates.
Continuing with the kid theory, in episode 11, Henry kept insisting that Abby shouldn't kill John Wakefield. Once again, Henry stays with Abby, not Trish. Of course, the kid isn't necessarily the killer.
Many of the people are killed with fishing equipment. Reverend Fain is found on a fishing wire. Trish's dad and Shea's cheating husband Richard (David Lewis) were both killed with whaling equipment, which is similar. Guess who is a really good fisherman? Henry. He won a fishing competition as a kid. Of course, so is Jimmy. He is a fisherman, after all.Henry is familiar with guns, as is evident when he enters a shooting competition to prove himself to Trish's family. Trish's dad (Richard Burgi) never trusted Henry.
Henry is definitely the leader of the group. He always decides who goes where and what to do. (Hey, guys, we need to stay on the island, so we can find Madison. Who cares if there's a killer? I'm safe.) Later in the series, Henry tells Jimmy to get his boat ready, so they can leave the island. Two seconds later, the boat explodes (episode 10).
After his brother J.D. dies in episode 8, Henry is seen with blood on his hands with no explanation. He is also responsible for J.D. going to jail. J.D. found a dead body (Uncle Marty, played by Harry Hamlin) and shows it to Henry and Abby. Later, the Sheriff finds Uncle Marty's phone in J.D.'s bag, so he looks like the killer. Henry lets the Sheriff drag J.D. to jail. Did Henry really believe that his brother committed these crimes? Either the writers are doing a good job setting Henry up or he is the killer. And considering it seems like after episode 11 they want us to believe Jimmy's the killer, I'm going to say Henry is not a red herring.

I began to think it might be Henry after Abby found JD and Henry had blood all over himself. If you look real close at the hands of the person who shoots the State Police, they look like Henry's hands.
I don't believe it is Jimmy because Abby's dad told her to stay Jimmy. He loves you. I do believe that Jimmy was helping the Sherriff track down Wakefield and he knew Wakefield was alive.

I personally hope it is not Henry although all rationality would lead one to believe it is him. I was personally hoping for Danny.
