Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building has kicked off in the most glorious fashion. Legendary Meryl Streep and Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd are the two impressive guest actors on the show. Rudd plays an obnoxious actor, Ben Glenroy, in the show. However, he gets murdered by one of the crew members of the project he was a part of.
Even though the investigation is far from completion, some of the cast/crew members are suspected to be the culprit. Apart from Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd, Only Murders in the Building stars Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora, and several others.
Only Murders in the Building Season 3: Who could have murdered Ben Glenroy?
Suspect #1 - Loretta
Viewers of the show could almost feel the animosity between, Meryl Streep's Loretta and Paul Rudd's Ben Glenroy, from the very start. It all began at the table reading when Loretta, who was playing a nanny in Oliver's play, narrated her lines in a Scottish accent.
The accent was poor and nobody in the crew was impressed. However, Ben was appalled by Loretta. He truly believed that the woman was going to ruin the project. He even spoke to Oliver and asked him to fire her before it got too late. However, Oliver was confident that Loretta had a bundle of talent.
Loretta thought Ben was a terrible person. She was also getting romantically involved with Oliver but the latter wanted to concentrate on the show. Perhaps, Loretta wanted the show to end soon. Hence, Ben's murder was the only option.
Suspect #2 - Kimber
From the latest episode, it is clear that Kimber has become a top suspect for the murder of Ben Glenroy.
When Ben's lifeless corpse was discovered by the heroes, they noticed a handkerchief beside the body. Naturally, Charlie began asking the cast and crew to show their handkerchiefs. The entire segment was awkward and cringeworthy but in the end, it did help.
When Charlie asked Kimber to show her handkerchief, she simply said that she had lost it. This is the only thing the part-time investigators needed to advance further in the mystery.
Suspect #3 - Dickie
Dickie is Ben's brother and manager. Ben was seen treating him more like a servant than a brother in the entire season. Even though Dickie never complained about all this, there is a chance he must be hating his brother secretly.
A war between siblings is not uncommon and it won't be surprising if Dickie turns out to be the killer.
