| Whodunit? |
George Foyet aka "The Reaper" - he was the only victim to survive the original attack and they never looked at him as a suspect because he was so badly injured. He took the focus off himself during the original spree by calling police, then returning to the scene and stabbing himself. At the end of the episode it was discovered that Foyet escaped from the prison he was housed in, and was still at large.
