Aww don't rag on Astro. His failure to understand basic plot points always makes for entertaining posts.
So, I'm thinking that they like this meth guy for the murders, they take a run at him, and he goes all apeshit, causing the detectives to be sure they've got their man. he might even confess to it after the shootout like "yeah fuck you, I did it!"
I still like the church angle for the real killer. Maybe even Eli Thompson?

This is a good theory, I think. The meth dude is definitely a red herring and probably going to be the arrest from 95. Eli being one of the main characters from Boardwalk Empire leads me to believe he'll have a somewhat important role in the show.

Easy champ, just giving you my opinion on your perpetual confusion.
On topic: I like elidib's theory as far as the meth guy being the obvious red herring (and I am hoping they throw yet another curveball in there since they know that we know, etc) but I am not sure about the church angle for the real killer. I think that is another red herring and that we haven't actually seen the "real" church yet that the girl had recently been involved in...but I may be totally off on that. I like the governor angle a lot though, I could see that.

I don't feel like the sketch is enough to really peg him yet, but I was wondering what the point of that scene/his character was.Remus is credited for two more episodes.

they are tossing out fakes, everyone thought the retard was gonna be something this week. turned out to be a dead end. lawnmower man, fake sideburns preacher and gasmask underwear jason are likely to be as well. they have not provided enough evidence yet for anything to be conclusive. im waiting for the reuinion between rust and harrelson to happen, things will click after that.

I'm going with "it's a cult" therefore more than one killer. But the latest victim was someone taking it too far by making it public when all of the other murders were covered up.
Also, this show is awesome because Rust is awesome. He could carry multiple seasons of this show with ease. It's almost a letdown knowing that we're only going to get 8 episodes of him.
EDIT: Think of the poor bastard that has to follow Matt's performance next season. He gets an awesome character to play and knocks it out of the park.

I'm not so sure they were trying to cover the previous girls up exactly, instead the cult was just lucky that the nature of the ritualistic sacrifices covered what happened. All the killings happened in response to big natural disasters like hurricanes/floods- and even the spiral tattoo/mark looks like a hurricane. With the King in Yellow/Cthulhu stuff I expect the cult is killing girls as a type of offering to the power behind the storm in order to get it to stop (or maybe the other way around, they want the storms to grow/expand/destroy). The girl who was "covered up" from episode 3 just happened to end up washing away in the storm so the police/coroner initially thought it was natural.

thats a pretty good theory, but was there a big storm there in 2012? no katrina killing?
Matt's performance is the best thing on the show. It's hard to believe this dude wasted so many years of his career doing chick flick trash.

When "current day" Rust first hit the screen I thought I was watching Christian Bale. I always knew McConaughey was capable of more than his normal roles mostly because I always really enjoyed A Time to Kill and thought he was pretty decent in that. This performance iswellbeyond anything I thought he had in him though.
