It seems that the female cop was molested as a child.
Yeah, it could be contributing to Ani's alone-ness in the world (she has trouble with intimacy / LTRs, due to trust issues) and her continual aggression. I thought that three-minute scene in episode 5 where she got sent to Sexism Sensitivity Class was just surreal...
The dude who was caught for the said rape seemed confused; which makes me wonder whether it was indeed him who did it. He didn't have red hair and it was mentioned that the wife's original hair colour is brown. So from where did the kid get red hair. But they did said they caught him on DNA.
You can't assume that just because they confirmed that the guy's DNA matched the rape kit that it was his sperm that fathered the boy. They confirmed he raped her, they did not yet confirm his paternity.
Red hair is a variation of recessive traits:
wiki said:
Red hair can originate from several changes on the MC1R-gene. If one of these changes is present on both chromosomes then the respective individual is likely to have red hair. This type of inheritance is described as an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Even if both parents do not have red hair themselves, both can be carriers for the gene and have a redheaded child.
So you could not express red and still be a carrier of the genes. It's not clear whether Ray is the dad, the rapist is the dad, or potentially even a third party.
Could the female cop's father be involved in all of this.
sure, why the hell not? everyone else is dirty. Although he seems rather straightforward so far. It's just he had a connection to Rick Springfield, didn't he? You just never know with this show.
Was it Teague Dixon who tortured that woman while being tied to a chair and who and why was she tortured. I kinda lost myself there or can't remember.
I don't think that's been clarified yet, although maybe ceecee remembers better than I can....
The diamonds led to an old case. So I wonder whether Carper's murder is related to that.
Yup, they were stolen around the time of the LA riots in 1992, so it's not clear yet whether they are connected to Caspere's murder. Also, the mayor's kids looked like those kids in the picture that the old cop reviewed....
