Yeah, and rust's car was spotted at the scene before the murder even happened.

Makes no sense.

Yes, the LC scene. Never mentioned him being at the scene of multiple murders.

Maybe that's the point. I would imagine that there can be a lot of red herrings when you're looking for a serial killer[s].

to get on the radar of those LSP guys, he went to at least a couple of the murders (some of which weren't really public knowledge), which means rust was really close to the pattern or had some information network re: the murders

That's why I asked it as a question. I couldn't remember for sure.

One of the theories thrown around is that the title of the show refers to the viewer. Maybe that is the point of the red herrings. Like a true detective, you can examine and/or discard the clues as well. Just throwing it out there.

I loved that so many questions were left unanswered. Made it more real. Life-like. Marty even said, "you can't get 'em all." I mean, in this world nothing is ever solved. I fell for the red herrings and Twin Peaks shite early on. But then I read Pizzolatto saying that the real story is about the relationship between Hart and Cohle, and I stopped letting it be my Lost.

Loved the ending, that Cohle had never really let go of his belief in a higher being.

This was good stuff.
