Agreed on all points, except I think you might be selling Audrey a little short. > > The most likely are as follows: Bobby Briggs(Remember that in Cooper's > > dream, that "Robert" killed Laura.), Yeah, but I don't think Killer Bob is really gonna show up in the USA version. He was concocted for the end of the European version. I've been wrong before. Anyway, I don't think Bobby did it for the same reason I don't think Catherine did. Bobby thinks only of Bobby and how to keep Bobby out of trouble. Also, Bobby talks a damn good game, but he's all bluster. He probably couldn't really do it. > >Norma's ex-con Husband(He makes Leo look like an annoying kindergartener.), Be damn tough to kill her from inside prison.

Whoa, now. Who says that she's Hank's lover? Who says that she's Ben's lover? Kiss on the hand doesn't equal lover. Blood pact doesn't equal lover. She's strictly business with these guys. Overactive speculation on your part. She could have killed Laura, but why? We've seen no reason for her to do so yet. > > In the future, please do not rely on Cooper's intuition to solve the crime, > >please think before you write these ill-thought theories. I recommend that you do the same. Either that, or ignore it. It's sorta fun to work on the goofy theories, too. Besides, this isn't "Murder, She Wrote" or "Nancy Drew", where you get all the clues and have to piece them together before the detective does. It's more like peeling an onion, with new and exciting possibilities etched on each succeeding layer. Relax and enjoy the ride. Have a donut. (Peeling an onion? Gack. What an awful metaphor.) -- - Barry gingrich%tisl@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu OR bgingric@Intrepid.ECE.UKans.EDU
