In tonight’s Sheriff Country episode, Cassidy was taken from her front yard. Someone used a stun gun on her. They knocked her out and then carried her away, but they underestimated how much Cass meant to Mickey. Mickey met her eight years ago. Cass was in an abusive relationship at the time. S
he couldn’t stay nor could she bring herself to leave. Mickey noticed she had taken the first step when she called 911. She was ready. She just needed somewhere to land and Mickey gave her that when she gave her a number to call.
It was Mickey’s personal cell phone number. Mickey had told her if she was ever in trouble that all she had to say was “Canary”. And Mickey would come get her.
Well, Cass used the word. She was leaving a message for her mother when she was stunned. She couldn’t shout for help. The most she could do was say “Canary”.
She knew that her mom would get worried if she didn’t show up like promised and that worked in her favor. Laurie freaked out like she always does. She wen to the Sheriff’s office.
She played the message for Mickey so that someone would take her seriously and Mickey did. Mickey heard the key word. She knew what it meant. She went over to Cass’s house with Boone and Hank.
Hank had been ready to dismiss Laurie’s claims. He remembered what Cass said about her mother. How she was never the same after her elder sister disappeared.
There’s a good reason for that because Laurie knew with a mother’s instinct that her child didn’t run away. It’s what the police believed. It was never what she believed.
Laurie had been right because her daughter was grabbed by a serial killer. One that Cass thought she found when she arrested Van Wainwright. Wainwright wasn’t the Blood Moon Killer. He was merely a run of the mill rapist.
Wainwright was still detained after the real killer grabbed Cass. The cops realized Cass was grabbed from her front yard.
There was a nearby liquor store and they essentially threatened their way into their hands on that footage. It showed the killer dragging Cass’s body to the car.
The entire time they wasted on Wainwright meant that Cass has been gone for hours. They searched for the car in street cameras. It seemingly disappeared into thin air. They searched for Cass’s phone. The killer had already taken out the SIM card. It was untraceable without it.
This killer was experienced. He knew where the cameras were located. He also was obsessed with the third eye. It had to be more than merely the Blood Moon symbol. Mickey asked Wainwright who was still in custody about it. He said it was once called the Eye of Judgement that the hippies just borrowed for the Blood Moon Festival.
Mickey had asked because she had seen it before. It was on the old deputies uniform. The reason they couldn’t figure out who the killer was is because he’s a cop or at least a former cop.
There’s three deputies that have been around since the first abduction. Two were women. This guy hates women so the third guy has a bad back. He’s been on desk duty for years because of it.
He never could have dragged much less pick up Cass’s body. They then checked former deputies. It had been Hank’s idea. Hank asked what if the killer walked the girls out and that’s why no one noticed he had taken them. There’s plenty of former deputies that work security. And one of them had been Ellis Monroe.
Monroe had gotten into a confrontation with Wainwright. Wainwright had punched him, but Monrow refused to press charges because he wanted it all to go away. He was shifty. He was the right age.
He was in good condition to still work around the festival. Plus, they found a complaint in his file. The complaint was made by Romy Hale. She had been a teenage girl and Monroe offered a ride home. It was the dead of winter and she lived miles away. She still hesitated to get in his car because her gut instinct told her something wasn’t right.
Romy only got into the car because Monroe’s daughter was already inside. Her name was Dana. They started driving and eventually Dana got out of the car. She left behind her backpack covered in butterflies.
Romy tried talking to Monroe about it because she realized they were heading the wrong way. Then her mom called. Romy told her mom that Deputy Monroe was giving her a ride home. Her saying that to her mom was what saved her life because Monroe couldn’t disappear her like he did before.
Monroe was creep. The whole time that Romy was in his car he was asking her about her sex life. He was asking a teenage girl about that and how he knows what she needs. The sad part is that Monroe doesn’t have a daughter. He’s never had a daughter. Dana was merely his first victim. She helped him lure other victims into his car.
She knew how best how to do it because she never stopped. She even abducted Cass for him. He had an airtight alibi when Cass disappeared. Mickey checked into it and she had him scared.
He brought up her daughter. She punched him. She might get fired if she didn’t get an arrest and so Mickey went back to the social worker because most of the girls were in the system. She visited Stephanie’s home with Boone. She noticed the car that took Cass at the back of the house. She also spotted the butterflies.
The same ones that Dana was obsessed with. Dana was Stephanie. The social worker managed to find her father’s type and she’s been doing that for twenty years. She was the first victim.
Stephanie tried to kill Boone at her house. Mickey warned him in time. Boone took her down and that’s when one of the victims came running upstairs from the basement.
Jane was still alive. She said that he’s going to kill her. Mickey went downstairs and she ended up killing Monroe just to rescue Cass. Jane was reunited with the one woman that reported her missing. Cass was reunited with her mom. She finally found out what happened to her sister. The victims had all written their names into a plank in the basement. Zoey had been one of them.
Stephanie or Dana whichever she prefers later told them where the rest of the remains were. Every time that Monroe brought a new victim home, he killed the old one. All except for Dana who adapted to survive.
THE END!
