Jamie Sullivan is the last witness to see Luke alive—the two of them were culling rabbits together on the day of the murders. Falk and Sergeant Raco initially suspect that Sullivan committed the murders, particularly after surveillance footage reveals that he lied about his alibi. However, they later learn that Sullivan was only lying to conceal his homosexuality and ongoing relationship with Dr. Leigh. Sullivan’s secrecy about his romantic life suggests how prejudiced and judgmental people can be in rural Kiewarra.
