‘Maggie’ was still alive two years ago. Any thoughts about what this means about the Dollmaker?

If she was killed by the Doll Maker...and if the Doll Maker was Church...then she was killed two years after Church was already dead...so unless there was an amazing resurrection...Church wasn't the Doll Maker.

It's still possible this is a copycat, Bremmer's book containing all the facts of the killings came out before Maggie went missing. (I'm still rooting for Bosch having got the right man!)

I wonder about Bremmer because of him having all the facts....maybe too many of the facts? He's media...he has access to the courtroom...he has enough information to write a best seller about the Doll Maker???? Wouldn't it be something if Bremmer turns out to be the Doll Maker and has been under their noses the entire time?

I don't think Church did that last killing. He may have done the others though.

>4 Carol420: Wow! If it is Bremmer, he'd have been better letting sleeping dogs lie - he'd got away with a dozen or more murders and stayed off the radar for 4 years, crazy to stir it all up now.

I think the Dollmaker is still alive and I like the idea that it might be Bremmer.

This would mean that Church was not the dollmaker. Or that there is a copycat out there. That book that was published would help the copycat immensely.

There must be a copycat because Church is looking like he is the Dollmaker. Interesting idea about Bremmer, but i Don’t see him as the one. Maybe someone he works with?

>10 bluebird_: I just thought that he had access to the information and he seems to like the attention that he gets ...the book...the articles that he writes for the paper...and no one else has been introduced as of yet that could be a second suspect.

>3 Sergeirocks: I’m with you on it being a copycat. I still think Harry got the right man, otherwise why the make up.

>4 Carol420: if it was someone else - my money would be on someone like Locke. He gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I think Rebecca was killed by a copycat. I hope they got contact info from that tip line - there were a couple of callers that identified her as Rebecca and Becky. Hopefully they can get more detail on her.
