WHO DOES TEAGAN SUSPECT?

Otis Thornapple

WHY?

Before McGee died, he managed to crawl to the machine and flip on the overtime switch. Teagan didn't think that McGee was trying to prove a point about the game. No one would do that with his or her last breaths. What someone would do is leave a clue to his or her killer. He flipped the switch to OT, for Otis Thornapple. Thornapple didn't confess right away, but caved in when the crime lab technicians discovered blood on the clothes in his duffel bag, blowing apart his story. He confessed, saying he hated the name Ichabod Crane. When McGee pressed him for the missed call (which he admitted was missed) Thornapple couldn't take it, especially since he hadn't made the call. So he snapped and surprised McGee when his back was turned. He was sure he was dead when he left, but was proved wrong again.
