Why _____ Can't be the Killer
Cryer, The Boy Who Cried Wolf (AKA the red haired guy who lives in Bigby's apartment), can't be the killer. Why? Here's a quote from the comics.
Bigby: You're lying now, because you always lie.
Jack: Not this time!
Snow White: Jack, did you ever hear about the boy who cried wolf?
Jack: Sure, he lives up on the seventh floor. So what?
Snow White: Never mind.
Sure, this was obviously a joke, but in order for it to have any meaning and taste, Cryer would HAVE to live in the apartments. It's likely that in this game, Bigby will be given the option to imprison or kill the murderer. I doubt they would let Faith's killer walk the streets unharmed. That being said, Cryer can't be alive in the comics and dead in the game, seeing as the game is a prequel. It would contradict the comics.

Am I the only one that DIDN'T think he was the killer the 1st time playing the game? That would be too easy!
Yup, too obvious. But now I really don't think he is the killer since most people who don't visit the forums would be like "He's the killer? When did he appear?", and his character only had a single line and no character development so far.
I doubt it too. It wouldn't even be that mindblowing if we found out it was him. He's barely interacted with Bigby.
I agree. I'd believe it if someone else rather then him was the killer, like vivian or hell, even Gren! Okay, so he was everywhere the 1st time. Does not mean anything.
Gren is my prime suspect right now. I feel like telltale's drawn too much suspicion to Vivian for her to be the guilty one.
Hate to say it...he's 2nd on mine right now.
I STILL think Vivian did it because besides Georgie and the other dancers, she has acccess to everyone that goes to the club or the open arms. WHY would BOTH the victims come from a strip club? Coincidence?
Most murder mysteries have a red herring to distract people from the true murderer. Telltale has been painting such a guilty picture of her (especially with her appearance in the Crooked Man's room) that I'm starting to doubt that she'll truly end up being the murderer.
That's when you figure out that....
Toad is the murderer motherfucker. I saw it in his beady little eyes.
So by this logic, it would mean the killer has to be someone dead or in prison in the comics.
I believe the Crooked Man is the red herring in this story, not Vivian.
Agreed.
Vivian as a suspect is arrived at through fan's inductive reasoning. The game hasn't explicitly presented her as a suspect. Crooked man on the other hand, the game's been practically screaming "HE'S BEHIND IT ALL"
Are you serious? Toad? Don't make me laugh!
It is obviously Bufkin. Butlers and flying monkeys are always the murderers.
Bufkin is in the comics.
Yep. Or someone down the Witching Well, at least. That's why most of the biggest suspects are people who don't make appearances in the comic; Vivian, Gren, the Woodsman, etc.
I made an account just for this - why does their have to be a killer? Could the prostitutes not have their heads already cut and sewn/held together using the ribbon, as in "The Girl with The Green Ribbon Around Her Neck?"
I believe Nerissa/Lily/Faith were working together to expose the Crooked Man's black market and illegal empire, and bring attention to the struggles of Fables. Without a full 20 paragraph essay as to why, there's a lot of evidence pointing towards it. I'll find the theory post and link it here asap. [HERE]
I agree about the CM being the 'red herring.' Again, like Cryer, it's too easy to point the finger at him. Yes, he KNOWS something and has been using other Fables' miserys to his advantage but it has to be someone else doing all the murders or, at least, 'knowing' and 'helping' out.
Someone said that the Woodsman is hinted to be one of Bigby's tourists (spies) in the comics. I think Gren probably just dies later on, I don't see him as a serial killer even if he did eat a ton of people during the pre-amnesty days.
Or gren leaves fabletown since his bio says he's a drifter
I know.
In that case, who put the ribbons on and took them off has the be the killer.
We know that the crooked man was using the girls for slave labour to make the glamours cheaper, and to keep them quiet he put ribbons on all of them.
I assume that someone has to take them off manually to decapitate the girls.
I'm sure the Crooked Man has a good part of Georgie's prostitution scheme and has the girls wear ribbons as a means of control to avoid this very situation, as well as slave glamour creation. You do have a great point though, which is something that will be revealed hopefully July 8th.
I've been reading alot of the comments on here and if i wasn't confused before then i am now lol however as we all know there is a lot of suspects in this game, a lot of bad guys and girls too and frankly my opinion is that the killer could possibly be snow herself. Look at it this way. Everyone is fighting among themselves and wolf is getting the brunt of it all, not being there or whatever but not one person has even questioned Snow. She wants to help but who's not saying that her way of doing so is to throw Fables down the witching Well. Just a thought mind you but to me just seems strange how nothing in the game is being said about her.
Nobody's saying anything about Snow because she is in the comics. That would mean that in the game we wouldn't be able to arrest her and Bigby would just forget she killed two Fables and fall in love with her. I would arrest her if Snow's way of helping people was to kill them.
I think Beast is the killer because doesn't he appear in the place where the murder happens literally before or after the bodies are found? Hmmm...
Also he works for the Crooked Man apparently, but what's the motive behind all this? My Great Grandpa was a cop in New York and he had a
Psychology Degree so he would have to understand the motive of the killer because a serial killer without a motive is nothing but a crazed murderer.
Do you have any ideas who the killer is and what their motive is?
That's hardly impossible.. because Snow and Bigby get married and have kids in the comics
I think it's bloody mary, you can just see the death and evil in her eyes..
Beast cannot be the killer as he's in the comics.
So all the characters that exist in the comics cannot be the killer?
Pretty much. Do you think someone as ruthless as Bigby would let them walk the streets?
Yes. The punishment for killing a fable is execution via headsman's axe and down the witching well.
But Bigby has killed a fable (depends on choice) so that just means he's in the clear, since he's the sheriff? in the homelands he has eaten a lot of fables like Colin said.
But killing Dum was justifiable, since he tried to kill Bigby, and didn't stop shooting until Bigby got him. I'm sure the person who killed Faith and Lily didn't do it in self-defense.
Also, him eating Fables in the Homelands was pre-amnesty, so he therefore wouldn't be held accountable for it. As explained in the comics (and perhaps also the game?) anything that the Fables did pre-amnesty is completely forgotten.
For armed assault on him. And the past is before amnesty. All Bigby did with Dum was save Snow paperwork to sentence Dum to death.
Any particular reason why this was disliked? Just curious.
Trolls, or just people who don't agree with this for some reason so they felt the need to dislike it. People are stupid.
Mary seems too obvious to be the killer... I think it could also be Gren.
It could also be Jersey... Hmmmm...
