While Billy Ross confesses to the killing, holes remain in his story.

Mare assumes that Billy is the one who bought Erin her heart necklace, but the receipt only says "Ross."

Could it be someone else from the family?

Dylan also has no alibi when it comes to the night of Erin's murder - was he who Erin was going to meet when the Deacon said he picked her up and drove her to the woods?

Regardless, he's definitely hiding something from the cops.

Then there's Richard, the guest lecturer and Mare's love interest. While Richard has few connections to the case, could there be a twist in store involving his character?
