I'm calling it right now. ____ didn't do it.
By "____" I mean Crane.
My reason for thinking this? The evidence just doesn't make sense.
Let's review:
The pictures that were left at the crime scene: The envelope contained three pictures. One of just Snow White, one of Snow White and Bigsby and finally, one of Crane and Lily. The evidence was left at the scene of the crime. My problem with this is that it's too convenient. Why would Crane bring at least 2 of those photos to that apartment? Lily already had a picture to be glamoured from so that's not why it was left there. Also, taking a picture of the crime in progress is a dumb move. The entire scenario seems more like a set up than a foolish leaving of evidence.
The Black Market Glamour: As we saw, Lily was given a glamour that made her look almost exactly like Snow White. Although, since the glamour was low quality, it had some subtle differences. This leads me back to the pictures. What happens when anyone can look like anyone else by just taking a picture and lock of hair? Well, what happens is that pictures become forge-able evidence. Was that Crane in the photo, or just someone trying to pin the blame on him? Who has something to gain from getting Crane out of the way?
TJ's experience: When TJ was describing his experience, he mentioned a person saying "Stop Laughing." With this knowledge in hand, it's almost safe to assume that whomever killed Lily wasn't alone that night. Whether it be a split-personality or another perpetrator.
Well, fellow forum goers, what's your speculation?

I agree with you.I told you guys it couldn't be Crane!Also,on side note,it's "glamour",not "glimmer".
Thanks for correcting me. I went back and fixed it.
I think the "stop laughing" is the headless horseman haunting crane as always....
I also believe it wasn't Crane, it would be too obvious and it's only Episode 2, if we already knew who the killer was, it wouldn't be as exciting, this is similar to the cliffhanger ending from the first episode when we all thought Snow was dead. But if it truly wasn't Crane why would he brake the mirror in anger, or why would he try to flee? Oor maybe the real Crane is locked up somewhere and that was the impostor.

I agree, it seemed too early for them to reveal the killer. I've heard some speculation that it could be Bluebeard.
You know... now that you mention that mirror... was there ever a time where Beast asked the Mirror where Crane was? If a person was glamoured to look like Crane, that person wouldn't carry the same name as him and the Mirror would show the correct person.
That alone could have been enough reason for the impostor to break the mirror.
Let's run the scenario: Convenient evidence is found incriminating Crane. This would naturally make Crane a suspect to detain. The mirror would have definitely been used to find Crane. With the mirror smashed, the impostor wouldn't need to worry about the real Crane being found.
There's another thing I'm wondering, though. If a person glamours as another person, do they share the same voice or do the voices stay the same as in their original form?
Grendel voice changed when he turned... dunno if its the same for human forms....
It's no one we have already seen. The killer wont be revealed until episode 4 or maybe even 5.
I think they want us to not think it is him. It is known perverts and the like have tendencies of doing things during their crime, I.e. taking a picture. Crane could be the killer, but he doesn't have to be the end of that. What if there is a boss and Crane worked for him to live out his vile dreams?
It would make sense, set Crane up to look like he's the killer and then when Cranes out of the way take the spot of deputy mayor for yourself(like at the end).
Also how would Crane be chopping their heads off? he doesnt appear to be armed and even if he had say an axe, his old scrawny arms couldn't lift it.
On top of that, there's no motivation for Crane to take the head of Faith.
If he did, theoretically, kill Lily, it was most likely to cover up his crime by pinning the same type of act on the one who killed Faith.
That's why the evidence doesn't make sense.
nvm
Why would he smash the mirror then?
I explained that a little lower on the page.
Unless, he was just messing with Bigby. Remember, Crane practically hates the Woodsman. Killing Faith made Woodsman a prime suspect for Bigby and Crane gets away with his crime. Plus, I don't think the marks of an axe. Didn't Bigby say they were very distinct.
I think Crane actually had sex with Lily but wasn't responsible for the killings. I hate referring back to the comics for info but it did say Crane left due to something embarrassing. This leads me to believe that while he'll be a suspect for a bit, but the shame of getting caught will render him unable or unwilling to return.
That is actually a Fable unlocked in the game. This would make sense though too. Snow White is attractive, much more than a troll, and it is possible he could've just crushed on her through the years. He could've been caught in the act by the murderer.
In the preview to the next episode, you see Bigby about to throw Crane down what I think is the witching well. He had to do something or Bigby is just a terrible detective....
I'm sure Bluebeard did it. His character wouldn't have any point in the story otherwise. Also, and I think no one has thought about it: in the original Bluebeard story, he killed his wives -by chopping their heads off! If that is not a clue, I don't know what it is.
Yeah i was just using an axe as an example for a big weapon i mean you couldn't do that with a knife.
I thought about that. Is that in the comics? I learned he killed his wives through the game, but it didn't say how. But, what if his purpose is to throw us and Bigby off? Or am I making TellTale too intelligent?
