....joe, i agree w/ your conclusion that andy isn't (or shouldn't be)
the killer....however, you're ideas about leland being molested and
now having a BOB personality are wrong in my opinion....this does not
explain at all the motive for all the murders....according to you, the
murders are the result of leland being molested more than 40 years ago
and leland waited until now to start murdering....plus, this doesn't
fit in with the ritual at the traincar or the OAM's speech in coop's
dream....i am still sticking to my BLACK MAGIC theory (posted a couple
of days ago) which explains the traincar scene and motive for the
murders....however, if indeed BOB does require a human host and acted
thru someone, then it makes sense that it would be leland since many
clues point to him and he makes infinitely more sense than andy et
al....but BOB is the ultimate cause, while leland is merely an
instrument used by BOB....
