Who Killed Lucy?; All the theories

Where has Fatboy been in all this?
After watching Broadchurch (which has the final episode to play on sunday night, but I cheated), it has been very much watching a town torn to shreds.
We have seen this with the Brannings, who seem to be the most affected by all this (apart from the obvious devastation to the Beales).
We have seen what we always thought, but hadnt been spelled out, Lucy wasnt a particulary nice person to many people other than her father. She had been bullying Whitney. OK, the card was in bad taste, but at least she stood up and said what she thought, rather than the pious "she was such a well liked person and I am going to miss her" rubbish you get when people die, weather the qualified for a sainthood or not.

Like Broadchurch, we arent really get much in the way of facts, like the usual cop programmes. As DTC said, its not so much about the murder of Lucy, its about what is being revealed by the other characters, and their secrets.
That being said, this is a long running soap, where we are suppose to know the characters and all there secrets.

Quoting limited to 2 levels deep
They also had Ray Quinn bump off the girl that was bullying him. I remember that storyline being one of the very last positive things about the soap in its final years
Yes, and that storyline happened right at the time of the Soham murders, because Neil Capel, who played Anthony Murray's dad was a school caretaker and he was at first blamed for the murder. Brookside didn't flinch and aired the storyline.

Well, there are certainly a host of secrets with the Mitchells and the Carters.

How many people in the police are investigating Lucy's murder?
So far we've had Summerhayes, Bryant (Malchy from HO), the black guy who said he is in charge of it and does the voice over for Cube, Holt who dismissed stuff that Lauren said and now Alison Newman is returning as well.
Granted AN, may not be investigating Lucy's murder, but it did remind that so far we've had 4 characters who have said they are part of it, not to mention the minor ones; the 2 who went to get Lee's DNA and the other woman who searched Jake's apartment (who i think was in HO as as one of the McQueens) and im sure there will be others.

Do they really need all these people working on it? Surely it would be best for Summerhayes and Bryant leading while having one more to report everything back to?

I'll admit i don't the procedure for investigations, and basing my points on watching countless Law and Order and other crime shows, i would guess only 3 or 4 officers would be needed to work on it.

I thought Summerhayes was the liaison officer, whose first remit is to keep the victim's family updated about the investigation and is available as a point of reference for the family.

I would imagine a substantial team of investigators are working on this. As yet, they haven't got, or appear not to have got, a motive for the murder. I'm amazed more investigation isn't going on about and around Ian and Peter. They'd be the first people the police would want to eliminate. The moment Ian said he and Lucy had a quarrel, the police should have been investigating the background of their relationship. As it is, Ian's already lied to the police, and so has Cindy.

But no one's established or enquired as to where Peter was on that night. We saw him overhear Ian's rather stupid admission to Lucy, then storm off ina huff. I thought Lucy was going to go after him, but after a cursory call of his name, her attention was distracted by a message on her mobile. Peter's never stated where he was that night. Lola was at Roxy's party with Jay and others, but where was he?

I'm still sticking with my Ronnie theory, but after her, I'd be highly suspicious of Peter.

Emma Summerhayes is indeed the liaison officer but not for much longer when her bit of "ow's yer father" with Max is discovered as well as discovering that starting a relationship with Max Branning is akin to standing in front of Luis Suarez. You'll get bitten.

Judging by the questioning of Jake, I think the police suspected that Jake's motive for killing Lucy was sexual in that she turned him down and he wouldn't take no for an answer, it got out of hand and he killed her. We have not heard that there was any evidence of sexual assault on Lucy's body and we now know that Lucy was not killed in Jake's flat.

You would also think that as well as Ian and Peter, the police would move heaven and earth to find out who Lucy's dealer was upon hearing that she was a habitual cocaine user and you can bet that a toxicology report would have been taken to establish whether Lucy was under the influence of anything when she died.

I know they need to spread it out but they need to be realistic. They really shouldn't have enough to keep Jake in prison.

It's unlikely but I'd really love to see Phil/Sharon and Ian/Denise both have their weddings during anniversary week, with Sharon taking her revenge and Lucy's killer being revealed. Now that would be explosive.
Phil/Sharon wedding will most likely happen on the 30th anniversary. I really am intrigued with Lucy's murder. There's been lots of "chinese whispers" about her death so I'm going to take a wild guess and say it could be Lee Carter.

I was and am hoping to see more of an investigation to this, a person has been murdered. I know because it's being dragged out over 10 months this is difficult, but I want to know more. :P

I think it's more to do with the summer "drought" they have cleverly took the focus off it during this period and developed other strands that will simmer away in the background and then come back to this when scheduling is back to normal. Hence why there's this massive twist in the autumn and not the summer.

Ian/Rainie - Rainie has been working as a prostitute and Ian slept with her on Good Friday, after his row with Lucy.

She may well know but she might nit be telling the truth. She could be covering so they can keep the truth secret for longer.

I thought it was pretty much confirmed onscreen that the baby was Charlie's, he wouldn't of being in the episode otherwise. Also the idea that Aleks is the father is somewhat understandable I doubt DTC will reverse the Jack/Roxy/Amy story with Aleks fathering Ronnie's child.
