Do you think there are only 8 victims of the follower? If Mora was the killer, why would he identify the victims to Harry?

I think it’s possible based on the timing - approx 7 months apart over 4 years, plus the ones during the Dollmaker case. I don’t think Mora is the killer - he’s too involved in his work and I think has become jaded but I don’t think he’s a killer.

>2 bhabeck: Sure it's possible...but I also don't think that Mora is the killer. I think he might be up to something questionable but he hasn't killed anyone IMHO. To begin with he knows the men that are hunting this killer and how good their arrest track record is. If he was going to start killing he would go out of the jurisdiction...way out.

I think that seems like the right number. I don't think it's him, but he would do it in order to remove suspicion from himself.

If this is Locke (as I'm strongly inclined to believe), then I think one every 7 - 8 months is about right. I think he'll pride himself on being able to control himself over such long periods.

I don't think Mora is the killer either.

Too much suspicion has been put on Mora since the beginning. I don’t think he’s the killer. He seems to really know his beat, so I am guessing he identified all the potential victims of the follower.8
