Not to interrupt the effort to identify each of the above, but some further input that might help us to make sure our net's thrown wide enough
It's worth mentioning I can't yet confirm that all the heads were removed by being torn away. Clark's body was indicative of an attempt to cut off the head by somebody who had to work for it, but I'll report back in once I've had a chance to inspect each of the bodies alongside one another to compare what remains of the wound edges after cauterization.
Magic was definitely present at the scene, runes have been found and the paw prints were laced with it. Skilled practitioners [ bone thrown to Gale, wizards tentatively at peace ] are investigating now.
From what I've seen and heard so far, we only have confirmation of strangulation as cause of death for 3 out of 5 of the bodies in this morning's tableau.
Again, we're looking at no signs of a struggle in at least some instances, so it's likely either magic or some other form of compulsion was used to mollify the victims before they were murdered.
There were seven victims the first night, including Jake. Seven wolves to start if we're to assume they weren't already collaborating. One wolf killed this round, who I think we can safely assume to be Saber, but the Alpha killed two people including a wolf. Six wolves, seven bodies. Five at the table, one in the cage, and Jace the last.
All of the wolves are proven capable killers. We might be looking for someone with artistic inclinations or a flair for the dramatic as far as the pumpkins are concerned, but given the nature of the game and the fact that all were capable of killing in the first round, I don't think it's likely anyone was able to sit at the craft table exclusively.
It would serve us to compare the first round of killings with the list you made above and any other details we're able to identify. Try to find the same people reflected across both crimes. I'll take some time to think about it.
Koby’s was jagged, and no wire marks. So they were done at roughly the same time, but not necessarily by the same person. But each point has more than one body associated with it.
If Saber and Danny are both wolves, and they both got a last hurrah, but were voted out and unable to participate in the coordinated attack, that explains Ash (Danny loves elaborate staging + revenge), Jace (same, and he killed him last year – method matches Paul’s, who he ALSO killed last year), Sarah (she and Saber were investigating together and then she turned on him when he turned out to be a creep) and Adrian (I don’t know this guy – Jinx seems convinced Saber did it, though).
As tragic and disgusting as they are, I think we should table those. At least for now.
