Took me 2 minutes into the movie to figure it out *spoiler*

It was totally obvious from the start that SLJ had killed her parents.
But I didnt give up hoping there might be more of a twist than just that.
I would have liked it to be the psychiatrist (eg he was the son of one of the victims of her dad, only discovered this fact from seeing her file).
However, the problem was the the first victim had slept with her a month before the start of the movie. So that ruled out both Garcia and the psychiatrist.
Her blond boyfriend was never a likely option. (Too incompetent).
Briefly I thought it might have been the lawyer (acting on info from his client). But when he begged a second time to get back with her, it was obvious he was just a red herring. -

Tell u the truth, i am the dumbest guy in this board cause i had to watch it till near the end. When Samuel set up scene to frame another guy, that is time i known it's him. How stupid i am? But u know what, not even single character show on screen in first 2 minutes , first minute is Logo , second is bridge scene. Did u guy really see samuel in 2 minutes? cool!

people who say it's so predictable are just lucky for the most part - you've got a 33% chance or so. the people who didn't guess it wouldn't come to post and brag. ha.
why is it so farfetched or dumb for Ashley to have done it?
it even looks like a foreign title for the film is The Blackout Murders
i think the real tragedy is Ashely young boy haircut.
i don't know if it's that or something else, but something looks odd about her appearance. pasted on eyebrows or a wig? -

even if you expect a twist i think it was more likely to be Garcia
to me Jackson is the last one you would suspect..
the only thing that was obvious is you knew it wasn't her cuz it was way too obvious
^^This. But I DID have a feeling it was SLJ though.

Count me in among those who realized it was SLJ five minutes into the film. Whoever wrote this tripe made me feel like a toddler during this film, the way clues, especially false clues, were spoon-fed to us during the viewing.
First corpse shows up in the water, next thing you know, Garcia is handing out nuggets about how he lives on the waterfront, knows dump sites, etc., All too convenient, like a bog red arrow that says 'look here'.
The clincher for me was Jackson's "Phantom of the Opera" to Judd's "Christine Daae". According to the background, the dad snapped and the 'guardian angel' took over the task of raising herby himself. He knew that her psyche trauma might keep her from being a cop, but he hints along that he helped her get where she is. Showing her skills off in front of another cop (the blonde guy), etc.,
Furthermore, the murders seem like they were not only a case of 'they are not good enough for you', but had been mixed with a heavy-handed dose of "If I frame Garcia, she will have a nice, shiny new star next to her name in her new record in Homocide" No tracking down simple hit-n-run killers for years to gain a rep for Judd in Jackson's eyesnuh-uh. she was his 'daughter' and 'star pupil'. her first case HAD to be a big bad serial killer in order to launch her career into the stratosphere.
