Who killed Erin? (Picture: HBO)Mare Of Easttown has been gripping the globe with viewers desperate to learn who on earth killed Erin McMenamin.
\nKate Winslet\u2019s Mare has been trying to crack the case that has plagued Easttown ever since the young mum\u2019s body was found naked in a local creek, as have internet sleuths alike.
\nWild theories have been circulating about whodunnit, including some damning evidence against Mare\u2019s own daughter Siobhan and her ex husband Frank.
\nSadly, just two episodes stand in the way before the show is tied up and Erin\u2019s killer is revealed\u2026 but who is the guilty suspect or suspects?
\nMetro.co.uk has uncovered all the characters who could be behind Erin\u2019s murder.
\nSiobhan<\/p>\n
Did Siobhan kill Erin to protect her dad? (Picture: HBO)Mare\u2019s daughter Siobhan is looking rather suspicious after closer inspection. The day after Erin\u2019s murder, she avoided returning her mother\u2019s multiple phone calls knowing that an accident had taken place.
\nSome fans believe that Siobhan somehow knew that her dad Frank was having some kind of relationship with Erin and killed her off in order to protect him from the truth coming out.
\nFrank<\/p>\n
Could Frank be Erin\u2019s killer? (Picture: HBO)Mare\u2019s ex-husband Frank had a relationship with Erin, although the details regarding what really happened between them currently remain under wraps.
\nAudiences know he\u2019s not the father of Erin\u2019s son as his paternity test came back negative. Despite this, Frank is still guilty of something as he lied about delivering diapers and formula to Erin. Was he being blackmailed by her as she threatened to expose the truth of their relationship?
\nDawn Bailey
\nDawn Bailey\u2019s own daughter Katie went missing one year before Erin was murdered. She was extremely unhappy over the police investigation into her daughter\u2019s disappearance and felt as though the case had been overlooked.
\nWhat is more, viewers know that Dawn has a gun and has proven she is willing to go to desperate lengths to find her daughter.
\nPerhaps Dawn killed Erin in the hope the cops would pursue further investigation into Katie\u2019s case.
\nIf that is the case, it\u2019s likely Mare would feel directly responsible for Erin\u2019s death. It would also make tie in well with the two kidnapped girls in the subplot.
\nLori<\/p>\n
Is Lori the killer? (Picture: HBO)Lori has been as good as gold in the series so far and this isn\u2019t sitting right with us.
\nIn recent scenes, she discovered her husband John is cheating on her again. Some fans reckon her partner had a relationship with Erin before her death and that he could actually be DJ\u2019s real father.
\nPerhaps Lori already suspected this and killed Erin as revenge?
\nShe also staked an interest in adopting DJ, could this be because she feels guilty that she murdered his mother in cold blood?
\nJohn and Billy <\/p>\n
John and Billy have been acting suspicious (Picture: HBO)Another suspect in Erin\u2019s murder is Lori\u2019s husband John and his brother Billy.
\nBesides theories that John could be the father of Erin\u2019s son DJ, there have been some pretty strong suggestions that Billy could also be the dad.
\nIn episode five, it was revealed that Erin moved into Billy\u2019s basement for some time before her mother died. Billy claimed she was only ever there for a matter of weeks, however Lori alleged she was there for months.
\nAs this information was exposed to Mare, Billy took off in a hurry, leaving behind a beer he\u2019d barely touched.
\nCould the brothers have teamed up to murder Erin in a bid to keep her quiet about one of them being DJ\u2019s dad?
\nDeacon Mark<\/p>\n
What\u2019s Deacon Mark hiding? (Picture: HBO)As it stands, Deacon Mark was the last person to get a call from Erin before she was killed.
\nOn top of that, he had her bike in his possession and disposed of it in the river.
\nAudiences already know Deacon Mark has a sordid past but we\u2019re still unsure what crimes he carried out at his former church.
\nAlthough he maintains he was just trying to help Erin out on the night of her murder, is he flat out lying? Could Deacon Mark be Erin\u2019s killer?
\nDylan <\/p>\n
Is Dylan guilty? (Picture: HBO)Erin\u2019s ex-boyfriend Dylan has proved himself to be a pretty horrible piece of work. Before Erin\u2019s death, he was being pressured by her for money to fund their son\u2019s ear surgery.
\nHowever, after taking a paternity it soon transpired that Dylan isn\u2019t DJ\u2019s real father. Could Dylan have suspected DJ wasn\u2019t his son and killed Erin for revenge?
\nMore recently, Dylan was seen burning Erin\u2019s diaries in order to hide another big secret from the police. What is he up to?
