The copycat killer is then revealed to be Officer Matt Ryan, who is responsible for Gwen and Cami’s deaths. Dr. Scarpetta is alone in her home when Matt breaks in to strangle her to death.
Matt first explains his motives for the killings: seeing what Roy did to his first victim, Lori, transformed him, and Matt admits that the “roughness” of her blood “changed him.” After admitting that Gwen and Cami were dead, he attacked the Doctor, but Kai evaded his grasp long enough to get a baseball bat. Hiding in plain sight, Matt runs up the stairs only for Kai to jump up and hit him several times with the bat. He falls down the stairs and the camera pans to reveal Kai’s shocked expression.
The final moment of the Season 1 finale shows someone off-camera opening the door as Dr. Scarpetta’s eyes widen in shock.
