Going with gut feelings, I think Adora is involved with the murders. Something that both of the murdered girls have in common is that they are from families that keep to themselves and are outsiders. Adora seems so invested in tradition, propriety, and the status quo of the town that I could imagine her lashing out at any perceived blemish on it. That would also reframe her opposition to Camille’s investigation. My gut also says that she’s not working alone and that there’s a conspiracy, maybe with other womenfolk of the town.

I think you're onto something here... Camille is similar to the girls that were murdered. By all accounts, these girls are loners, tomboys, non-traditional in that sense. Adora lost her "doll" of a daughter and was left with the tomboy... this may be her way of coping or "getting even" with the universe.
