6 Theories About Who Killed [Spoiler] on Pretty Little Liars
Despite the events of the summer’s finale, none of us expected that Charlotte was only going to be around for one more episode. Her death at the end of the Season 6B premiere came as a shock…not just to the Liars, but to all of the viewers as well. As this season has unfolded, we’ve been given several clues that have shed some light on the possible suspects for Charlotte’s murder. However, to further complicate things, it seems as though the new Big Bad / Uber “A” is trying to avenge Charlotte’s death – meaning, the person sending the emoji-laden text messages is not the same as Charlotte’s killer. The most recent episode made this extremely clear when Emily theorized that there are two people after them: one who is trying to seek revenge for Charlotte’s murder, and the other who is trying to cover it up. Here are six possible characters who could have been responsible for Charlotte’s death:
1/6Sara Harvey
The Liars are convinced that Sara is the one who is sending them the text messages, and that she is still loyal to Charlotte. The truth of the matter is, we don’t know a lot about Sara. We don’t know how she was captured, why she was chosen as Charlotte’s protégée, and what exactly her life was like all those years when she was held hostage in the dollhouse. It’s entirely possible that Sara took the opportunity to seek revenge for all of the torture that Charlotte inflicted upon her. Additionally, there are a lot of fan theories out there that suspect that Sara is actually Bethany Young – which would tie right into the bigger idea that Sara (or Bethany) wanted Charlotte dead.
2/6Dr. Elliot Rollins
Whenever someone new moves to Rosewood, it’s hard to trust them immediately – and for good reason. Those new characters often end up sketchier than they are loveable. (Think: Nate, Sydney, Leslie – and even Caleb at first!) Although it seems that Dr. Rollins has good intentions, and it appears that he genuinely cares for Ali, it’s hard to entirely forget that he has detailed knowledge of Charlotte’s “game.” Could he have been using Charlotte to get to Ali and the other liars? Did Charlotte know something that Ali did not? Many theories point out that Dr. Rollins would have access to all of the information regarding how Charlotte tortured the Liars – plus, he probably has a stash of doctor’s gloves handy.
3/6Alison DiLaurentis
This season would have us believe that Ali is a completely changed woman, and is mourning the loss of her sister. However, our previous knowledge of Ali should tell us that she is extraordinarily skilled at putting up a really good facade. This Tumblr user theorizes that Ali killed Charlotte out of revenge. Another convincing clue in this fan theory? The rose that Charlotte held in her hand when she was found dead is the same flower as the bouquet of roses in Ali’s house.
4/6Kenneth DiLaurentis
Mr. D has been mysteriously MIA throughout this season, but we cannot forget the fact that he was so cruel to Charlotte all her life. Additionally, there are many reasons to believe that Kenneth is also responsible for Mrs. DiLaurentis’ murder – another Pretty Little Liars mystery that has yet to be solved. It’s entirely possible that these two murders are connected, and PLL showrunner I. Marlene King has even described Kenneth as the show’s “true villain.”
5/6Wren Kingston
For all the original “Wren is ‘A’” theorists, the most recent episode certainly solidified that hope of Wren returning as the show’s new Big Bad. We learned that Charlotte and Wren had a phone call sometime during the flash forward, and this phone call resulted in Wren’s breakup with Melissa. We’re led to believe that Charlotte spilled the beans about Melissa’s involvement with Bethany’s murder; however, we can’t forget that other phone call between those two a few seasons ago: “You take care of your end, and I’ll take care of mine.” Could Charlotte and Wren have been scheming for a lot longer than we think? Is it possible that all those suspicious Wren clues might actually have a point later on?
6/6Someone's twin...
Pretty Little Liars has been dangling this twin theory in front of us for years now. First, there was the poster in Ali’s room about twins, and then there was King’s teaser about “seeing double.” Most recently, King confirmed the twin theory on Twitter where she wrote, “There is a twin. You will meet this person soon.” There’s endless speculation among PLL fans about who exactly will have the twin. One thing is for certain: whoever it is, this twin will be a game-changer.
