Oddsmakers: Veronica Mars

In honor of the day change for Veronica Mars and the fact I actually witnessed a scene being filmed from this episode (look out for Veronica hunting down Beaver at lunch), I have compiled a list of potential suspect that caused the bus crash. Now if you haven’t been watching the show, no better time than tonight to start watching, it’s not like there’s anything worth watching on Tuesday since My Name Is Earl moved and or you can turn in to see if I snuck in front of the camera. And reading this will help catch you up on this season’s mystery of who killed a bus load of kids. Hey, if you like it, go ahead and rent/buy Season 1 and hopefully UPN will repeat Season 2 for you over the summer. So here are the list of who could have been involved in the bus crash, why they may or may not have done it plus the odds that it was them. Feel free to place your bets in the comment section and make sure to turn into Veronica Mars to see who actually did it.^*


The Indians
Target: Terrence Cook via Ms. Dumass
Why: Terrence owes them a lot of money and sent a message threw his girlfriend
Why Not: Too obscure, only been in one episode
Odds: 1000:1


(Vice) Principal Clemmons
Target: Everyone
Why: His first attempt at ousting the Principal hoping that if a bunch of students went over the cliff, he’d resign.
Why Not: He has a kid and would take out others being a parent himself.
Odds: 900:1


The Gay Mafia
Target: The dude who was going to have the outing of all outings (for the life of me I can’t remember his name).
Why: To stop the outing of all outings.
Why Not: Again too obscure, I can’t even remember the dude’s name.
Odds: 750:1


A Member of the Casablancas Clan
Target: The poor.
Why: They hate the poor because they bring down property values.
Why Not: Not that bright.
Odds: 100:1


Sheriff Lamb
Target: Dick Casablancas, the poor
Why: To get rid of Madison’s off again/on again boyfriend, poor people commit crime, less poor people, less crime.
Why Not: Dude’s lazy and not that bright.
Odds: 80:1

The Manning’s
Target: Meg, Duncan and their
Why: Not to be shamed by their love child and to kill the sinner.
Why Not: She still their kid.
Odds: 75:1


The Field
(For those not familiar with the phrase, that means everyone else not mentioned so if you think it’s Mac, Vinnie VanLough, Deputy Leo or some other harebrain choice, this is your category)
Odds: 60:1


Terrence Cook
Target: Ms. Dumass
Why: She knew a lot of dirt on him that would put him on the out with his fiancé and keep him out of the Hall of Fame.
Why Not: Like Clemmons has a kid the same age as the ones on the bus many of which would be fans of his.
Odds: 50:1


The PCH’ers
Target: Logan
Why: If I’m not mistaken, Logan was supposed to be on the bus, he was in Yearbook last year and since he just got off for the murder of Felix, retribution was in order.
Why Not: One of there own, Cervando was also on the bus.
Odds: 25:1


Aaron Echolls/Curly Moran
Target: Veronica
Why: She’s the key witness in his murder trial.
Why Not: Don’t think Aaron would kill a whole bus load of kids just to get one especially since he will most likely walk anyways.
Odds: 10:1


Woody Goodman
Target: The poor.
Why: Civil unrest that killing the poor on the bus would cause helping his upcoming proposal of incorporation.
Why Not: Too risky considering his daughter was supposed to be on the boss. Plus I still think he was the target in the first place by taking out his daughter.
Odds: 2:1


The Fitzpatrick’s
Target: Gia, Logan, Cervando, Ms. Dumass
Why: Gia - to send a message to her father; Logan - o tie up loose ends with the Felix murder; Cervando - maybe didn’t pay back his drug money; Ms. Dumass - to send a message to Terrence or because she knew too much.
Why Not: Good question, um, maybe someone beat them to the idea.
Odds: 3:2
