At this point we know that Junior killed Sprengstoff, correct? The murderer on 11/3 wore a ring with a spider insignia, and on 11/30 Junior is seen wearing a ring in the watchtower. On 12/28 the clue becomes explicit when Junior is seen wearing that exact ring while closing a mechanism in the watchtower. Further, the spider Insignia is revealed on 12/31 to be the symbol for the 135th Airborne, Junior’s former unit. For some reason, Junior only wears the ring with doing dirty dealings, though; maybe it puts him in a tactical mindset. Still, why didn’t the tech-squad from the State Police find anything mysterious when they swept the tower on 1/10? Are they that incompetent?
Now THIS is exciting. We have stakes, we have urgency. Good stuff!
