Molly Park was the sassy host of a true-crime podcast called ‘Merry Fkg Kill’, and she rocked up in Iron Lake to offer her investigative skills to Chief Angela Bishop.She was scouring the location for inspiration for an episode based on the disappearance of Matt Caldwell, who was killed by Dexter Morgan. Little did she know, she was entering a town where not one, but two serial killers resided. Harrison Morgan listens to Molly’s podcast and stumbles upon an episode based onThe Trinity Killer, who killed his mother, Rita Bennett. It’s also revealed that she’s covered the Bay Harbor Butcher case andThe Ice Truck Killer, among other real life true crime cases.
If only Kurt Caldwell hadn’t killed Molly, she could’ve played a very interesting role in the upcoming sequel,Dexter: Resurrection. Her knowledge of Dexter’s crimes would’ve made her a vital resource for Miami Metro Homicide in their investigation. However, the Dexter-verse doesn’t mind bringing back deceased characters, whether it’s asDexter’s Ghost, or viaflashbacks.In Molly’s case, she could be brought back using her podcast appearances, and it would be a good way to still feature the popular character from beyond the grave.Even if it was just a brief Easter egg for fans, it would be fun to see the quirky crime fighter again.
