Also, Weir could have killed multiple people without being a "multiple murderer". The young boy and the man who was locked in the freezer could both easily have been accidents, and I don't know if he did kill the librarian; even if he did, that might conceivably not have been murder if she'd had a weapon--I don't remember the details well, and I'm sure many of them are well-hidden. ``` Wombat, a.k.a.
