In "The next victim" who was the actual killer? I found the ending rather ambiguous.
shareThe killer is Tom Packer played by Max Mason. The 'friendly' guy aged about 40 who is introduced toward the end.
The caretaker may have been a pervert but he wasn't the killer.
Yes, Packer, the man in the jeans and the striped, collared shirt was the killer, in terms of the serial killing strangler. However, Sandy Marshall's husband, Derek, attempted to kill her twice. He cut the brake lines of her new car, and then he tried to strangle her on the back stairs in an effort to pin it on the strangler (Packer). The ironic thing was Packer had no interest in killing Marshall because her infirmity reminded him of his later mother. But he killed or wanted to kill nearly every other young, attractive woman in the episode. Marshall's husband only wanted her dead because he stood to inherit her fortune. It really was quite sad when you think about how that character would have to come to grips with the double trauma she experienced.
