Killer and motives
The killer was revealed to be local resident Vanessa Cullen.

Upon admitting to the murder, Vanessa stated that Alexandre betrayed her. When asked how, Vanessa said that when Fairland got burned, her house was completely gone and there were only few supplies left. Vanessa asked Alexandre to protect her supplies and her hideout since she is going to the town to find more. Since Alexandre was in love with Vanessa, he accepted her offer. However, when Vanessa returned empty handed, she saw Alexandre sleeping in her hideout. Even worse, all of her supplies were stolen. Angered at Alexandre for leaving them without food and water, Vanessa burned him with flamethrower while he was still asleep. Judge Grayson Pierre sentenced her to 25 years in prison.
