Harper's Island: Who's the Killer? - Page 3

Henry finds Richard harpooned to a tree. How did he know where Richard was? The island is big and he just "happened" to run into him?

And let's remember who decided to have the wedding on Harper's Island? Henry. Who invited all of those people to the wedding on Harper's Island? Henry. Henry also grew up in the same city as John Wakefield (according to records on Harper's Globe,the official companion site to the TV show).

A possible motive is that Henry wants the Wellington fortune. He is the "pauper" marrying the princess. If he kills all the Wellingtons, he gets the fortune, right?

There's only one problem with Henry being the killer: the one third rule. Supposedly, one third of the people are supposed to be shocked by the killer. One third are supposed say, "I KNEW IT." And  one third are supposed to say, "Who is that?" Besides Abby, Henry is the main character on the show. The one third rule would make more sense if the killer was Shea or Danny.

Of course, CBS's tag line was "13 weeks, 25 suspects, 1 killer." Instead it was two killers, but only one was one of the 25 suspects, so who knows if the rule is actually true or misleading?

I can't wait until the finale. I actually like Henry, so I'm hoping it's not him, but I have a feeling it is. I have invested hours in this show and I can't wait to see if Henry does turn out to be the killer.

    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.
