Who Killed Bunny? All the Suspects in 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 2

🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

The finale for Only Murders in the Building Season 2 is fast approaching and audiences cannot wait to see if their armchair detective skills have paid off.

With every episode of Only Murders in the Building, Mabel (played by Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and viewers home come within an inch of uncovering who killed Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell) before a new piece of evidence, a man covered in glitter or a New York City blackout turns the entire investigation on its head.

For now, Mabel, Charles, and Oliver remain the key persons of interest but there are plenty more suspects floating around the Arconia building.

Newsweek has the full look at all of the suspects below.

Who Killed Bunny?

1. Cinda Canning

In Episode 9 of Only Murders in the Building, Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) came out on top as the main suspect in Bunny Folger's murder.

Since Season 1 of Only Murders in the Building, it has been hinted that Cinda would fake her own true-crime cases for her podcast, "All Is Not Okay in Oklahoma," so she could be the one to solve them. Their suspicions were confirmed in Season 2, Episode 9 when Cinda's assistant Poppy (Adina Verson), admitted she was Becky Butler—the case of Cinda's major podcast that Mabel, Charles, and Oliver bonded over in the first place.

The discovery led Mabel to suspect Cinda may not be Bunny's killer, but she is in fact, the criminal mastermind behind Bunny's death and other strange events taking place in The Arconia.

Perhaps Cinda simply orchestrated and ordered Bunny's death so she would have content for a future podcast and defeat Oliver, Mabel, and Charles who were quickly becoming her podcast rivals.

After all, she was standing outside the Arconia recording audio for the first episode of her spinoff podcast, "Only Murderers in the Building," as the police arrested Mabel, Charles, and Oliver for Bunny's murder. How could Cinda have been at the crime scene so quickly? Perhaps she knew what was going on inside all along because she was behind it.

2. Detective Kreps

Detective Kreps (Michael Rapaport) is most definitely working in cahoots with Cinda and perhaps he was the one to kill poor Bunny Folger.

Kreps is so far confirmed to be "glitter guy," the same man who attacked Mabel and stole evidence linked to Bunny's death.

He has also been determined to frame Mabel for Bunny's death, perhaps trying to shift the blame from himself or Cinda onto her.

Viewers will recall when Mabel came face to face with Kreps in Season 2, Episode 9, Kreps confessed to hating "stupid amateur bull**** podcasts" and being a megafan of Cinda's podcast "All Is Not OK in Oklahoma."

He also bragged about landing "the smartest woman on the planet" who turned out to be Cinda.

It was then revealed Kreps had been helping falsify evidence for Cinda and her podcasts all along, including in the Becky Butler case.

Nothing good ever comes from a corrupt cop and a manipulative true-crime podcaster working together, so only time will tell what Kreps and Cinda are actually up to.

3. Poppy

What if the real criminal mastermind is Cinda's assistant Poppy and Cinda and Kreps are being manipulated by her, without their knowledge?

As Poppy does absolutely everything for Cinda, perhaps she was the one to orchestrate Bunny's death and is the one providing all of the content for Cinda to report on in her podcast.

Poppy has had her eyes on Cinda's job for a long time and perhaps her plan all along is to wipe out the competition by killing Bunny and framing Mabel for her death and therefore ending the "Only Murderers in the Building" podcast while exposing Cinda for her lies in faking the Becky Butler story.

4. Alice

British artist Alice (Cara Delevingne) popped up out of nowhere and inserted herself into Mabel's life, crossing a whole load of boundaries when she recreated Bunny's murder scene in Mabel's apartment without her consent.

Alice was also unmasked as a liar and despite the fact that she insisted that she never killed Bunny, there is something about Alice that cannot be trusted.

Perhaps Alice turning up in Mabel's life shortly after Bunny's death was really just a coincidence and Alice has been a red herring all along.

5. The Dimases

While Theo Dimas (James Caverly) has struck up a friendship with Mabel in recent weeks and even helped her catch "glitter guy," the Dimases have every reason to seek revenge against Mabel, Charles, and Oliver.

The Dimas family is no stranger to death, having set up a hugely successful and illegal grave-robbing scheme, stealing jewels from the deceased for several years. They also covered up the death of Zoe (Olivia Reis) and framed Oscar (Aaron Dominguez).

Thankfully, their crimes were exposed by Oliver, Mabel and Charles and they were arrested by police at the end of Season 1 but in Season 2, the father-and-son duo are out on bail.

It seems as if Theo really is a decent guy who is desperate to escape his father's grasp but on the other hand, Teddy has lost everything and has every reason to take down Oliver and his sidekicks, Charles and Mabel.

Perhaps Teddy killed Bunny and is framing the trio in an act of revenge.

6. Jonathan

One established fact in Only Murders in the Building Season 2 is that Bunny's killer stopped in the secret passageways of The Arconia and had a sneezing fit. He was even spotted by Lucy, who was hiding in the same passageway.

In Episode 8. audiences were introduced to Jonathan, a Broadway performer who is allergic to cats and had a sneezing fit in Howard's apartment during the blackout.
Could Jonathan be the killer or is Sneezegate just one big coincidence?

Only Murders in the Building Season 2 concludes Tuesday, August 23 on Disney+ and Hulu.
