Is Wilson the Killer?
In the novel, there are many references of Wilson "feeling the child's weight in his arms", and "seeing the face of that man when the knife slid across his throat"... are these just intensely descriptions about Wilson's complicated thoughts? I feel like these are little hints that Wilson is very capable of these killings.

he could be capable of the killings but maybe Sherman Allexi is pointing these out to make you think that he is the Killer. Maybe he wants you to put all focus on Wilson and away from the other suspected characters.
Yea he is not the killer
i think he's the killer because he knew about some of the murders before he even found out about them
throughout the book i was always changing my mind about who the killer was. wilson talks about doing killings himself. marie threatened people constantly and even questions the man that challenges a womans capability of killing a man with a knife. she says women use knives, men use guns. john is the silent loner type. and although that does not make him a killer, it does make him mysterious in the sense that he doesnt let anyone get too close to know him
I think that the reason we thought John could be the killer is because he was a mysterical. From Anger Management we learn there are "explosive and implosive. Explosive is the type of individual you see screaming at the cashier for not taking his coupon. Implosive is the cashier who remains quiet day after day and then finally shoots everyone in the store." Throughout the novel, John seems like the quiet cashier
he's probably not the killer but it would be a good twist if it turns out that he is the killer
I don' think that it's Wilson. I think Wilson is too cowardly to do something like that. When John had the gun to his head he was weeping. A beastly serial killer would not weep in the face of danger like that.
if you just read the end of the book Wilson isn't the killer. He sees these visions because he hunted down murders or monster for many years so the thoughts still haunt him.
I'll just assume the old man who picked up Reggie and drove him to a different town was the killer. That would've been pretty cool.
I dont think Wilson is the killer. he thought John was the killer
I think Jack is capable of being the killer and that when he kills he might picture himself as Little Hawk.
The reader isn't really supposed to know who the killer is. Sherman Alexi makes many of the characters the possible murderer but in the end he leaves the killer a mystery to make the reader see that the Indian Killer is not just a person but a sort of mythical being.
I think the most likely people to be the killer are Wilson and John. I personally think it is John because of his quiet personality and mental problems.
