Topic: Dixie's killer

It is. And I'm still wondering if there's some connection between Dixie's murder and Stuart's. Maybe Adam didn't really kill his brother, after all. Maybe Adam just thinks he did. Maybe Adam fired that gun but actually missed the target. Maybe there was ANOTHER SHOOTER, hiding in the shadows somewhere that night,  who silenced Stuart permanently because Stuart had found out something shocking about Dixie's death...?  A part of me still suspects Aiden, and judging by his recent weird behavior, it just might be so!

Why am I thinking this way? Mostly because it's too horrible to make Adam the killer of his own beloved twin brother. Because it's too sad an ending to the Adam/Stuart Story. And since Aiden's about to depart the show---on a sour note too, with all his meddling, his trying to keep Zendall apart---why not demonize the character altogether? Personally I have always liked ol' Fish 'n Chips, but I'd rather see him the killer than Adam in this scenario. My guess is, though, that if that's the real truth, it won't come out immediately. Dixie's murder will remain an unsolved crime until such a time as the pieces of the puzzle come together.

very interesting take! -D.

ICAM with all your points, understatement...and it's a MUCH better outcome...as better as the killing of Stuart can be...than having Adam be the one who killed him. DID THEY DO AN AUTOPSY? Did they do forensics on the bullet and the weapon? Were Adam's prints ON the weapon and if so, was that HIS gun to begin with? There were so many guns that night..was that the gun Kendall had? Very interesting...and if they're going to demonize Aiden...I'm all for his getting back at Kendall for interfering in his marriage to Greenlee...I don't want to believe he's interfering just out of jealousy that they're in love and he never had true love...from what he says....I like your thoughts on this!

I thnk like so many plot ideas, the writers brought up someone else having killed Dixie, then let that idea die of neglect. No one has followed through on the idea of a different killer for Dixie, and I bet it will never be mentioned again. The idea is up in the attic polishing its skis. As for absolutely no forensic testing being done after Stuart's murder, why should that crime scene be unlike all other crime scenes? Why would anyone bother to do gun residue tests on everyone who was at Chandler mansion at the time? Why would anyone check all the fingerprints and determine which ones were from the last person to handle the gun? The writers decided it worked to have everyone blame Annie, so that's the way it went, who cares about forensics or any other kind of reality. And why hasn't there been a DNA test on Trevor yet? Sheesh! eom ML
