Had you ever suspected Helen?

No, I didn't suspect Helen at all. She was quite peripheral and unassuming so I didn't think of her at all.

By that point it was kind of a toss-up for me between Stephen and Helen, though it looked more likely to be Helen. WTG Eadie!

I didn't get Helen until my theory about the fathers being the "boss" fell on it's face and I had to swim out to the boat and feed on chocolate to rebuild my self esteem:) Good job Eadie.

>3 bhabeck: and >4 Carol420: Must have been a birthday gift that I knew Helen was involved.

I thought Helen was the only common denominator between the two cases. We knew she was unhappy at being forcibly retired but I didn't realize she wanted to parley the discovery of the girls into her being retained in her job.

I don't think I suspected Helen until the phone was stated as missing from the evidence locker. And even then, it was circumstantial, and could still have been Stephen (he could have had an affair with the nanny and got her involved in that way).

Took me some time, (and prodding from Eadie), but she was my main suspect fairly early on

Yes I did.
