    Summary

    This is a fact: Abigail Hobbs wanted to live. She lured innocent girls to their deaths to stay alive. She killed Nick Boyle to stay alive. If someone tried to kill her, especially another father figure in that same kitchen slitting her throat, she would resist. She would fight back. She would not stand still and politely wait for her death.

    Based on the angle of the arterial spray on the wall, Abigail Hobbs died standing upright.

    Conclusion: Abigail’s killer held her in place.

    This is also a fact: As encephalitis worsens, it causes muscle weakness, specifically in the arms and legs. Will was constantly feverish, having migraines, hallucinating, and losing time. His encephalitis was severe. It is likely he lost a significant amount of strength in his arms.

    At the time of her death, Will Graham was not strong enough to hold Abigail Hobbs upright.

    Conclusion: Will Graham could not have killed Abigail Hobbs.

    So who did?

    (While locked in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will has a lot of time on his hands and not much to do besides think.)
