PLOT HOLES FROM SEASON 1:
DexterDexter
  • Tossed his beloved dissection and cutting tools overboard at his regular dump site bare-handed, leaving fingerprints on them.
CamillaCamilla, police department's records supervisor

• Only person who can make a direct link to Dexter as the Bay Harbor Killer, as she was approached by Dexter for information reguarding a lot of the people who ended up gone.


• Only known active police personnel who knows about Dexter's discovery in the cargo box. This leads to Capt. Matthews who, according to Dexter, was "tight" with his foster father -- surely he remembers the case regarding two little boys found in two feet of blood.

• Acknowledged helping Harry destroy official police reports regarding Dexter's discovery in the cargo box. (But the newspaper reports are still available.)

• Inadvertently contributed to Dexter's kills by supplying him with cold case/unsolved crimes.









Brian AKA Rudy AKA Ice Truck KillerBrian Moser/Rudy Cooper/The Ice Truck Killer

• The unsolved case regarding the cargo box was so grotesque, surely all the police/reporters involved would remember the names of the two young survivors (let alone Dexter's adoption). Why hasn't anyone stepped forward upon learning Brian Moser's name?

• Since it's only been a few weeks after the Ice Truck Killer's debacle, one would expect more media attention (or a persistent reporter) around Dexter & Debra, possibly following them to their work, home, etc.

• Why wasn't The Ice Truck Killer's courting/capture of Debra further investigated? Was it assumed that because Debra posed as a prostitute during her stint in vice, that was his initial attraction to her?

• Dexter's claim that The Ice Truck Killer called him to Debra's location; can't that be traced?

• Since real estate records show that Brian Moser purchased his old childhood home, why hasn't that led to Laura Moser's murder?

• Now that Brian Moser is dead, would any physician who treated him in the psychiatric hospital from his youth still bound by privacy laws?









PLOT HOLES FROM SEASON 2:


Detxer Season 2Dexter
  • Tossed a beer bottle into the water bare-handed while anchored over his dump site.

  • Rita told Paul that she found the shoe while speaking to him on the prison payphone. If prisoner calls are recorded, Paul's suspicions and Rita's confirmation that she found the shoe could lead to Dexter's being charged with all sorts of crimes in relation to Paul-assault, kidnapping, theft of police evidence, etc.

  • Not sure if I would classify this as a hole, but Rita falling for the addict routine after she knows that Dexter set Paul up, then allowed him to stay in jail and she just easily complies to Dexter's explanation. She is a dunce!
