It is so obviously Jimmy, the scorned ex-lover getting Abby back for leaving him and never staying in touch, he has been under the radar just enough to not be an obvious suspect (classic formula)....he keeps cropping up on his own and has the skills of a deerhunter/spear thrower etc etc....he was also at the scene of Wakefield killing Abby's mother (shown in her flashback to when she found her Mum)he's linked to Wakefield somehow........................Hmmmmm

If you have read "and then there were none" book, or watched the movie, there are some hints. The killer in that book (which harper's island borrows heavily from) was a glasses wearing character, who shoots himself, leaving no traces of how he did it). Also, if you watch episode 8, we can eliminate a WHOLE bunch of people within the first few minutes when the deputy dies of a gunshot wound. JD and Shane are both locked up in jail, so they couldn't have done it. Cal, Chloe, Shea, Trish, Henry, Katherine, Abbey, Sully, Beth, Danny were all searching for Madison at the time. That leaves Jimmy, Nikki, The Sheriff. Later we can eliminate both Jimmy and the Sheriff when Harkin is killed outside his shack (Jimmy is with Abbey looking for the Sheriff, and the Sheriff is inside Harkin's shack at the time and basically watches him die). That leaves.... Nikki, the bartender who we barely see. I doubt that a petite girl like her could string Richard up to the tree stump, or hack up Malcom while he puts of a fight... So who does that leave us??? well... no one really...
Except the one character who died, but not at the hands of the murderer... Booth. He 'accidentally' shot himself and the only person that knows the location of his body, dies just as he is about to reveal where the body is buried. The similarities between Booth and the murderer in "And then there were none" are pretty telling. In the book, the murderer stages his death but really puts events into motion that results in the death of the other people on the island. My money is on Booth not being dead and at the end, we'll find out he's the killer and what his grudge is.

I think its booth still!! lol or jimmy probaly and or Henry!!!

danny

Maybe cal, its alway the nice ones!

You know. I was really thinking it is Abby but then i just reviewed all episodes "one by one" and what if there are two killers. I am thinking it's Jimmy and best friend Shane working together in this.
I think Jimmy found the Wellington diary and started getting a twisted mind after Abby left. There are arrows, boat killings... they are expert in that field and they are not in the hotel so they don't have to justify their alibis.

It would be a great twist for me because I just love Jimmy and Abby love relationship. But if the writers make him the killer I would be in total awe!!! incredible. I am fearing it's the truth. I'm excited with anticipation.

Would it be crazy to think 3 killers? i like the idea of Maggie, Jimmy, and Madison as the killers

Maggie- has access to everything in the inn, knew where mr. wellington would be, could have tried to drown Trish

Jimmy- arrows used to kill cole, strong enough to set the traps, ex lover like explained above

Madison- creepy, either has seen/heard or notices that people have been missing. maybe she had gotten too close and thats why she was taken. she knocked over JD's soup can tower which proves she is either demented or hates tomato soup, it looked like she kind of led mr. wellington right under the chandelier

Ive got four possible suspects suspect one JIMMY i think jimmy is the killer because abby hert him for never calling or writing and think about it jimmy has axcess to the boats and could have been there when cousin whats his face died...

Suspect two the INN KEEPER i mean think about it she looks like the type of women that could over power a fully grwon man and has axcess to everything in the inn...

Suspect three the SHERIFF in the end of episode nine Madison was telling Abby that her dad took her and she didnt even sound scared when she talked to Abby on the phone so she knew him...

The last suspect the unsaspecting CAL at the end of episod eight Abby asked J.d. who hert you and he answers ca...ca... CAL of course he is the least suspected to do all this... Sweet inocent Cal its perfect like ive seen in other comments maybe he is MAYFIELDS son and wants revenge for his fathers death after all Mayfield was there for Abby and he thinks its her fualt for the death of his father... And if you look at it he has been the least scared the entire movie...

Actually now to ome it can be anyone

think it could be anyone.though right now im leaning towards the idea that the killer is booth. The only person that witnessed his death was malcom and he could have feigned the arterial bleeding. whats the chances of shooting urself in the major artery at that angle?
booth fits the physical description of the killer, strong( to tie up richard was no easy task), not fat ( a bit hard to crawl through the tunnels if u were). Not very tall, smart. he could be abbys half brother.

i am still of strong belief that Jimmy is the killer. especially considering the access to the weapons and his knowledge of the island. furthermore, it is mentioned that Wakefield was a fisherman, so it's quite probable that Jimmy is his son or relative. and in the latest Episode 9, his many suspicious looks compel me to further believe that it's him. oh, and this youtuber has raised many valid points about the whole thing - http://www.youtube.com/user/japanesemacaque1. but the only thing i can't figure out is Cole Harkin's death in Episode 8, whereby there should be an accomplice, right? and now, and with Madison's claim that the Sheriff kidnapped her in Episode 9, it gets even more complicated. or not, if you say that the Sheriff is the killer, but then it's a tad too simplistic, don't you think so? so i continue pondering...

Okay I think the Killer is Wakefield (or however you spell it.) I don’t think the sheriff ever killed him. I think he just said that. It’s probably a fake body in Wakefield’s grave. at the end of the last episode Madison said "Your dad said you would like the game" The writers are trying to make it seem like its the Sheriff who is the killer, but the sheriff isn’t Abby’s dad, Wakefield is, because in Wakefield’s diary it said they had a kid together, which is Abby. so the killer is Wakefield!


OR.. it could be the inn keeper.

i think that we will all be surprised at who the killer is. And i think that the baby sarah had by wakefield isnt abby and the baby she had is the killer. there may well be two murderers. i do not think it is the sheriff though.

I always thought that it was Jimmy. But now I think that Abby has a twin sister and she is the killer. If that it, they have taken that idea from a soap opera!!!

I think this show is throwing up a lot of red herrings at this point along with some clues. However, from watching a lot of American film/tv, I've learned that children are always smarter, and more spiritual than adults. Black people are always smarter and more spiritual than white people. The main character is always pure of heart and rarely dies. English people are evil. Doctors in movies are evil. And the villians usually have some daddy/mommy/sibling issues.
Plus, the rich-bitch, fat/funny guy and anybody who is usually sexually promiscuous die.
So I've got to think that Cal is up to no good.

But I am assuming there is a second killer. In the flashback episode (I think ep. 7) Sheriff Mills says to a young Abby that maybe her mom got what she deserved. And Jimmy is probably the dashing rogue type. Not sure if of his motives initially, but he's stayed around for Abby and saved her once, and will probably save her again.
So Cal and Sheriff Mills are in cahoots and there is some disgruntled daddy/daughter/mother/wife dynamic which will become deeper as the episodes play out.

I think its the wedding planner. She is never around when most of the murders happen. When abby saved Madison she was "all concerned" about Madison and asked were she had been possibly to make sure she was going to keep quiet. And she could have rigged the guns so it cant kill any 1. The matches that killed lucy were from the CandleWick.

Spoilers for those of you who don't live in Canada
After thusday it's hard to say...
Wakefield is alive, but the question remains did he work alone?
i agree with what other people have said about jimmy
it would be an interesting twist if he was the killer
since why would wakefield save anyone? he could have lied to the sheriff and just killed them both anyways, what does wakefield have to lose?
it just seems strange that he would let someone live
especcially since some killings would make more sense if two people had done them
anyone elses thoughts?

I think it is someone that everyone thinks is already dead but actually isn't, just like in the Agatha Christie book 'Ten Little Indians'. Booth is a likely suspect seeing as he didn't die a gruesome death like the rest of them, but then again who's to say Wakefield himself is really dead? We can't really take the Sheriff's word for the truth because he has been keeping too many secrets. Maybe to protect his daughter, maybe not. But i don't think it is the Sheriff. I have a feeling we will all be surprised when the killer or killers are finally revealed. I'm looking forward to finding out.

Well, I always thought Maggie was the Killer but then in episode 10 she died. So, my guesses as to who the Killer might be are Henry because look at the killers handwriting its Henry's

Here is the note he left for Trish, pretending it was from Hunter. Every letter is capitalized. But the first letter of each word is bigger than the rest of the word. And the "M" is crisscrossed in the middle.

Now this is the note left by the killer for the Sheriff to find. Every letter is also capitalized and the first letter of each word is bigger than the rest of the word too. Also the "M" is crisscrossed in the middle too.

The guest list is also written with all Capital letters, the first letter being bigger than the rest of the word. And the "M" is crisscrossed. Henry may have very well organized the guest positions for his own wedding.

But the note left for Henry telling him that Hunter was at the hotel has different handwriting. Therefore I don't think it was the killer who left that note for him.

And, for Nikki why would they keep her on if she only knows Abby? She either A has to be the Killer or B be wakefields kid...Also Nikki does not have an alibi for most of the episodes....

Its John Wakefeild cause in the 10th episode he is back and says 2 abby "u look just like ur mother" hes trying 2 scare abby and her father is dead so of course its not him and do u think jimmy would blow himself up? didint think so!

My old suspects were Jimmy, Nikki, Cal and Booth.

But when I watched every episode again, I'm taking down notes on everything that is going on.

It can't be Jimmy, sure. He's a little suspicious and all but because Cousin Ben was killed when everyone was getting into the boat to go to H.I. Jimmy was nowhere near the boat or out of the island. So it can't be him.

Nikki has no alibi whenever the murders were committed, but I don't think she did it. I've a gut feeling that she would be the next to die, even!

I used to think that maybe Cal is the killer because he has a scary side when he becomes angry. But after watching the part where he was in the bathtub when Chloe came [he wanted to propose to her] I can see that he was too much of a nice guy to kill anyone.

So now, here are my new suspects as of now: Booth, Henry, Chloe and Trish.

That's right people. Trish and Chloe are in my list of suspects.

Booth's body has yet to be found. [yes, i am one of those people who believes that he is still alive.] Malcolm - the only person who knew where Booth's body was buried - is dead. So now, no one knows where he has been 'buried'. Also at the first episode, he seemed like he was having a bit of an angry face - not sure why though. In the fourth episode, when the boys were out fishing, they came across a boat [where Hunter got killed]. Sully played a prank on them pretending as though he had drown. After that, Booth was clearly not happy by the prank - though the others laughed about it.

Henry... Ahh.. Henry. He's the one who seemed to know everyone on the island. He's always coming back to the island during the summers - ever wonder why? That's a little clue there. The writing for Trish to 'meet Hunter in room 214' is VERY similar to the writing for the sherrif "You Found Her, Now Come Find Me". I'll give you links to the pictures after my theory. He's really scary when he loses his temper. And he's usually alone whenever the killings are done. His name Henry W. Dunn = what is that W for? Wakefield? we don't know that for sure. Maybe he's Wakefield's kid. Plus, let's not forget the fact that he's always there - everywhere. He appeared behind abby in the first episode when she said she wanted to walk to the Inn alone. Kinda creepy, if you ask me. And how was he there when Trish almost got drowned?

Chloe - let's not forget. She has a thing for serial killers [as stated by her friend]. She seemed to be pretty obssessed with Wakefield -whatever the reason is. She wanted to see his grave - for no reason. From the episodes that I watched again, it seems that she knows how to manipulate people around her. She knows how to act - both reasons shown when she tried getting her ring back from the guy in the bar. Why wasn't Cal killed when he got trapped on a tree? maybe she loved him too much to kill him. I'm keeping a close watch on her though.

My answer's really long, so I'm going to stop here x(

I think that Jhon Wakefield is alive and he is causing the deaths on the island.

jhon wakefield is back...you looked just like your mother........the sherrif never said he REALLY killed him...he buried a different body...

the killer is booth. his death was weird and didnt fit in with the show, malcom just buried him, so he probably got out and wakefield didnt die so its pretty obvious that its booth

I think the killer is Wakefield and Henery. I think Jimmy is Wakefields son but not the murder.

of course its wakefield but they kill him next week and jimmy starts killing people. cause he tells abby he has an confession and then pushes her. do you think there will be another season.

well danny seems to be a bit quiet and he is my favorite character so maybe him. Or the trish (no reason) anyone agree??? BTW is it just me or is everyone getting there head cut off like seriously, OR THE DOG IS THE KLLER!!! because we all know that dogs can shoot two arrows and hit a person right in the heart.

Henry

Haha I put all my money on Henry. In episode 11 they make the killer out to be Jimmy, which would make a great cover for Henry, and lets not forget on the marina, he was there with J.d's blood all over him...and also in the earlier episodes when he would talk to Abbie, she would bring up how her mother was murdered but he did'nt seem to react the way you would expect did he ?

the other killer cant be a local. cuz on the first episode Ben died at the bottom of the boat before it got to the island. how would Jimmy or Wakefield kill Ben when they were on the island?
at first i thought it was Maggie or Cal or Chloe, then they died. so idk anymore.or maybe it was chloe cuz it didnt look like Wakefield was going to kill her, just Cal. Chloe killed herself. Chloe, to me, seemed suspicious.
Maybe its possible Henry is. like why was his hands bloody when Abby found JD dying?

i think the killer is Henry. And the police report for Jimmy was fake. I think he went to the seattle prison (The same one wakefield was in)To find out if JW was still alive, I think the sheriff and Jimmy were working together to kill Jw. The reason i think henry is the killer because the red eye thing, Red badge of courage....the main character Name is henry and the red eye symbolises the enemie (Maybe thats a shot in the dark)

I hate to say it but i think it is "jimmy" (the abandoned ex. - fisherman dude). i have come to the series really late & have only just watched the first few ep's but one thing i noticed - Abby answered the question of who knew you were coming with "no-one" but fisherman dude made the comment of "when i heard you were coming..." & not "when i saw you here" (in which he did act all suprised when he did first see her. this all happened within ep. 1 or 2.

initially i thought of Jimmy as my prime suspect, but now i don't think it's him. my other suspects:

Henry - why did he stop Abby from shooting Wakefield in ep 11? Why didn't he try to shoot Wakefield with that gun in his hands? Wasn't he good at shooting in one ep?

Danny - i don't know why but i had a strange dream about him being the killer LOL.

Booth - cos if he's still alive, it'd be an unexpected and shocking twist to the show, plus it was said that the end of ep 12 would be shocking.

i just hope the writers don't say that it's all Wakefield's doing and no one else's. cos that'd be boring.

Henry is the most likely killer. He knows the island, very well. The killings stopped about the time that he left tooo...

Its henry. i thought it was jimmy but at the end i was happy that jimmy and abby survived. i loved this series! henry is a trader! i used to love him for his gorgeous looks but now since hes the ugly bad guy i dislike him!!!!!!HAPPY HE DIED even though he killed everyone just so he and abby could be together. (sorry for spoiling it to those who havent seen this show)

Henry, I think he is Wakefield's kid so that means Abby and Henry are half-brother/sister

it is Henry.i could NOT believe it when he killed Trish,but he is the killer.and he killed john Wakefield,his dad,because he wanted to live Abby,just the two of them.i really don't get why he didn't just ask Abby if she wanted to live together in Seattle.there was no reason he had to act like he wanted to marry Trish,and then kill her.but it mad the show good!.and BTW Jimmy is my favorite character. he is so cute and nice!
