So did Dennis actually kill her?
They left it kind of vague at the end.
shareThey didn't leave it open at all. Dennis says "what about the footage of her dancing on the building like a moron and falling to her death" (or something similiar, too tired to remember the exact quote)
shareBut they never actually showed any footage. We only have his word for it.
shareMaybe. He had a motive. He killed her so he could stop paying her alimony. Who knows maybe Dennis was pointing a laser beam at Maureen that's why she looked like she was prancing around but actually chasing after it until Dennis pointed it over the ledge.
shareTrue, but since he's not in jail and the investigation seems to be over I think it's safe to assume the footage exists.
I think at worst he could have known she liked to play around on the roof and greased it so she would fall but that's just speculation.
That fact that he's not in jail could simply mean that they don't have enough evidence yet to charge him. As for the investigation being over, again we only have Dennis' word for that.
I also find the marks on Sweet Dee's neck to be very suspicious. She claims it was the flea collar getting wet, but cats don't get burned when they're out in the rain. I suspect Dennis tried to strangle her after she snitched on him about all the crow killings, and now she's covering for him out of fear, like Frank said.
I think at worst he could have known she liked to play around on the roof and greased it so she would fall
Legally that WOULD be murder. He could legally be convicted of murder if they could prove he did that. share
Cats also have fur between their skin and the collar, and they probably have different tolerances than humans do.
But I like your theory that Dennis tried to strangle her. It's a bit dark even for this show but I could see him doing it, he's getting a lot crazier as he gets older. And it would even fit with the way he's been calling her a bird for years. He clearly likes to break their necks.
And I love that we're playing detective over this and analyzing all the clues like it's an actual murder case. :)
You could be right about the fur.
Another thing I noticed was that Maureen's tail was cut off. If she fell off the roof accidentally why was her tail cut off?
Was it cut off or did it just fall off when she landed?
I think it was just a fake tail that would have come loose from the force but considering she had a doctor who was going to give her extra nipples it's entirely possible she could have had a cat tail surgically attached as well.
And if it was cut off that would point to someone with a lot of aggression toward her doing the crime which is definitely Dennis.
Both Charlie and Mac also acknowledge that their is and that they have seen the footage. They both said they didn't want to show it yet because they wanted to drag their show out. They were VERY clear that there is 100% proof he did not do it.
