You'd think the fact that Aaron himself was killed right after his acquittal would be fodder for the murderheads. None of them brought that up.

You know, it's funny. Whenever I think back on that plot point, I think I remember that Aaron's death was set up to look like a suicide to satisfy those who thought he did it (he couldn't take the guilt), and those who thought he didn't (he despaired that his reputation would never recover), and that's why it's not considered a mystery in Neptune, and why we don't hear people going on about the "unsolved case" of the "monster" who murdered "beloved" movie star Aaron Echolls.

But I just had another peek at the episode to confirm this, and Weidman is definitely standing BEHIND Aaron and shoots him in the back of the head. No way would it even remotely look like suicide. So I've been wrong all this time, and the murder of Aaron Echolls IS an unsolved case, and a loose end for this show! Maybe it comes up in season 3, and it's just been so long since I've watched it that I've forgotten what was said, but it seems crazy to me that a high-profile movie star recently acquitted of murder was executed at Millionaire Central Headquarters (the Neptune Grand), and it made no lasting splash in the community. Can anyone who saw season 3 recently remember if it ever came up? I assume nothing was ever linked back to Weidman or the Kanes, if the "Murderheads" still think Keith was wrong to investigate Jake. 

However, Aaron definitely DID brag to Veronica about killing Lilly. He did it, and that's confirmed, even if only Veronica (and we) know(s) for sure. So if there is a twist about it coming down the pike, it would have to be about who people BELIEVE killed Lilly, rather than who actually did. Maybe someone will be falsely accused or arrested?
