It seems that the clues we've figured out refer to the main
participants in the night of the murder - Jacques, Leo and Ronette.
Does that mean the owl clue refers to the third man or to Laura?
Or maybe to the log lady, who was a witness? That seems more likely.

These clues bug me. I don't mind the supernatural element so much,
but the clues seem extremely contrived and not very meaningful. The
one thing the giant said I really *did* like was something about
"what matters is where you've been" in response to Coopers "where
are you from?". (This is probably remember all wrong.) I liked the
implication that the Giant had not come from someplace but that
Cooper had gone someplace...
