True Detective - Climax Clue Sheet - Part 3

The story so far seems to have garnered a lot of interest among the viewers. We covered some crucial clues in the Clue Sheet Part 1 & Part 2. This new part is not exactly a clue sheet, but more of an observation sheet. Let's look at some environmental clues from a different vantage point.

Clue 1 : Episode 1 : The African-American parish guy. He acts very normal and doesn't raise suspicion. But Rust notes the cross on the wall. The wood is tied together with ropes at the intersection. It is tied in a similar fashion like the devil's nest. Could he be one of the 5?





Clue 2 : Episode 5 : The two interrogating detectives played by Potts & Kittles inform Marty that Billy Tuttle died in 2010 due to mixed medications, right after Cohle reappears in the state. This possibly rules out Tuttle from the gang of 5. Maybe he was just corrupt but not culprit.

Clue 3 : Episode 5 : In the very next scene, Cohle sees the billboard "Do You Know Who Killed Me" about Stacy Gerhart. This billboard seems to be of some significance since it was also shown in Episode 1. Who is Stacy Gerhart? Is she Rust's dead daughter? Why does the camera focus on this specific billboard in both episodes 1 & 5. Does it have a significance to the storyline. The story so far has not discussed anything concrete about Rust's past life.




Or is this girl, Rust's dead / missing daughter - whom he sees during hallucinating in Episode 1.




Clue 3 : Episode 5 : Rust checks the database - presumably of the missing persons or the victims. Perhaps he was searching for someone.  What was he searching for? His daughter? The years on the computer screen range from 78-80-82-83.




Clue 5 : Episode 5 : Right after checking the database, Rust looks into an Incident Report sheet about a girl named Stephanie Kordish. The girl was found dead at Lake Charles and her employer is Mira Lane. Perhaps Lake Charles seems to be the area of action. Is Rust's storage unit located at Lake Charles? That's unlikely, but cannot be ruled out. Episode 7 might be a key.




Clue 4 : Episode 4 : Does the year 1982 have any special significance connecting Marty & Rust? Marty watches a special seal or coin of honor named as "All Around Cowboy 1982" in his locker. U.S.L may also refer to University of Southwestern Lousisiana.




Observations & Trivia : Well I guess we have discussed a lot of clues so far. Let's look into some less-important, trivial observations.

The full name of Rust is : Cohle, Rustin Spencer. He was interviewed on April 26th, 2012

The full name or Marty is : Hart, Martin Eric. He was interviewed on May 1st, 2012 a week after Rust's interview. Note that Rust follows Marty's car towards the end of Episode 6.

When Marty visits Rust's home, he sees a couple of books around. The two most visible book covers are "Sex Crimes" & "Serial Killers"




In Episode 6, Rust talks about the Manchusen by Proxy syndrome while attempting to get confession from the child-killing lady.

In Episode 1, Rust mentions he does not sleep. He also asks Marty if he believes in ghosts.
