Who's the unlikeliest person to have done it within the Beale/Branning circle? I keep coming back to Peter and I can't remember him getting any scenes where he looked overtly suspicious (as just about everyone else has done). Obviously Lauren's recent behaviour around him has been suspicious, but that applies to virtually all the suspects. Has Peter been singled out by the writers as behaving suspiciously or guiltily? I can't remember it but then my memory's not great. Cindy's another one who I don't think's been under much scrutiny.
The least likely person within that circle is Lauren herself, given the way she's been behaving the last few episodes. There are theories that she was drunk and couldn't remember doing it (and that someone else helped move the body etc) but I don't really buy that.
I still feel Jane could be involved, possibly in a cover-up. I can see her covering for both Peter and Cindy if she thought Lucy's death was a tragic accident. Cindy being pregnant would also make it more likely that someone would cover for her.
I can't really see Bobby having played a big part because that would be anti-climactic.
