I also don’t think the Deacon was “with” Erin in the Biblical sense and he is at least innocent in this case. If we are to believe what he tells Mare’s cousin Father Dan Hasting (Neal Huff) in “Illusions” - for the record, I do - he picked her up at the woods and drove her to Brandywine Park after she received a text that made her “hysterical.” Fear that he would be accused (thanks to his reputation) led him to dump her bike in the river, which was incredibly stupid but doesn’t make him a killer. His transfer to this parish occurred after a 14-year-old girl alleged he assaulted her and he was close enough to Erin for her to call him when she was upset. Deacon Mark Burton (James McArdle)Īnother gag in the SNL sketch is the Deacon clearly did it and it is no surprise the Catholic priest is under suspicion after the lies he has told to Mare regarding the night Erin was killed. Rather, after more than two decades without another literary hit, I think the author is hoping to find inspiration from Easttown and Mare as a means to a book prize end. First of all, he has an iron-clad alibi - he was hooking up with Mare - and second, he appears to have no connection to this town. Mare opted to go on the Saturday night date with Colin instead of Richard, and while I think Richard can’t be trusted when it comes to his motives for getting close to Mare, I also don’t believe he is Erin's murderer. She has gone from a DGAF to losing that hardened exterior as she offers boyfriend Dylan a shoulder to lean on, while also questioning why he was missing when she woke up the night of the killing. Her rage was visceral but humiliation, not a permanent end was her motivation. One of the first people questioned, Brianna definitely beat the crap out of Erin but she is no longer a prime suspect. Any early suspicion has been pretty much erased but never say never. Or did they? Check out all of the questions we have now that the series has "revealed" its killer.Ĭould it be someone living under Mare’s roof? Siobhan was one of the last people to see Erin alive but acted with kindness and she really doesn’t have a motive. So far, we know that ex-boyfriend Dylan (Jack Mulhern) and her teacher Frank Sheehan (David Denman) are not the baby daddy, but the paternity is a pertinent line of inquiry.Ī bit of a brief update! Mare of Easttown gave us some answers in their penultimate episode. With two episodes left to go, here are the suspects in order of who we think Erin’s killer might be (starting with the least likely), and the identity of the killer could be the same answer as the father to Erin’s baby, DJ. Director Craig Zobel has said that the person behind Erin’s death will not be someone “out of left field” so that answer is still in close proximity to Mare. During the flirtation and drunken confessions, I was concerned his arrival was no coincidence, and that the perpetrator was under Mare’s nose the whole time. This pretty much confirms that Colin is not Erin’s killer, and while his death is upsetting, it also puts those worries to bed. A spontaneous smooch with Mare is all she is left with and RIP to this short-lived relationship. Someone still has to solve Erin’s murder and unfortunately, the sweet and heroic Zabel decided now was the time to grab life by the horns. Colin was shot in the face by Wayne and the gunless Mare - she is still suspended - was injured in the melee - her injury is not fatal. A partial license plate and vehicle description led to seven potential leads, which ended in tragedy for Colin Zabel and the rescue of Katie and Missy. The latter is underscored when Mare and Detective Colin Zabel (Evan Peters) interview another young woman who escaped an attack by a man who turned out to be Wayne Potts (Jeb Kreager). When Katie explains the parameters of her imprisonment to Missy (Sasha Frolova) it becomes clear that his choice of sex worker victims is random, whereas the Erin murder doesn’t read like a kidnapping gone wrong. In this week’s explosive “Illusions,” the identity of Katie’s abductor was revealed - he had also recently attacked and grabbed another woman - and this initial connection is now unlikely. This introduction to Easttown ended with the discovery of Erin McMenamin’s (Cailee Spaeney) body, which gave Mare a new case to solve with potential links to the other mystery plaguing her department. At the start of the seven-episode series, Detective Mare Sheehan ( Kate Winslet) was facing criticism from the small Pennsylvanian town for the lack of results looking into Katie Bailey’s (Caitlin Houlahan) disappearance. Part of the crime drama thrill is playing armchair detective, and HBO’s Mare of Easttown is proving to be a Sunday night whodunnit with enough suspects to suggest multiple theories.
