How Did Dexter Find Lila? and what did he do with her body?
Nov 1 2008, 11:19 PM EDT | Post edited: Nov 1 2008, 11:19 PM EDT
My guess it that Dexter found Lila by investigating the new activity on her Passport thorugh some sort of Customs database. Once he found out that she was going to Paris, he might have done some search based on newly connected phone lines. It's a slightly weak theory, but it is possible.
As far as him bringing his tools to Paris with him, just before Lila left her loft, when Dexter was there to kill her and Deb showed up, Lila saw his 'tool kit' and picked it up. Dex said that it was his. Lila offered to open it up (in front of Deb) and Dextere backed off. So Lila probably took it with her to Paris, as a momento of him.
As far as disposing of the body, who knows. He had something planned, since he bagged her. Maybe he was planning to drop her in Venice. Any ideas?

By the way, Lila either had been living there for at least a short while, since she was already recieving mail there, or maybe she had sublet her apartment, and therefore it was easier for Dexter to track her down.

Interesting theories. It's hard to judge how long she'd lived there I would think based on what you said about the mail, and that it would be presumed that scene happened within 2 or 3 months (as most series pick up the story line "post Summer" and then recap).

He probably found her the same way he always does... I mean by that point he had at least her real name and knew she was in the US illegally, so he had sufficient info to track her down.

I never put much thought into how he got the weapons there, but I would assume he bought the knife in Paris (he only had the knife and the syringe, right??). He could have also purchased the syringe in Paris, although I don't know how he got the sedative over (or if that would be an issue or not? I'm not too familiar with customs) beyond his own craftiness.

The body was probably disposed somewhere near the airport... I think he said he had a flight to catch before he zipped up the bag. Although with as much security (cameras, witnesses etc) at an airport that may not be reasonable. Since he obviously didn't have his boat I doubt he left her underwater, but I can't think of any other obvious solution. Really makes one wonder how the writers think of ways to hide bodies lol

From my point, they didn`t think of it at all=)))) I`d like to add some words about Lila`s character. I like the way actress showed us Lila.. Really such a bizarre person! I even didn`t think about her being killed... Though I was really happy, when Dexter did it=))))))) Rita I like more=))) So, it doesn`t matter, how did Dexter find her and what did he do with her body (awesome body, by the way=))) Obviously, somebody of writers didn`t like her too=))))

In all actuality, he may not have even bothered taking as much care dumping her body as he usually does. He was in another country--who would even really think to connect her murder to him? All he had to do was take the postcard with him and dump her in a trash bin on the way to the airport. I doubt the murder would have been broadcast in the states for those who know him to connect that his ex was murdered about the same time he decided to take a little vacation in Paris, and no one in France would really know any of her personal relations from when she was in the states to contact him about it. 1  out of 1 found this valuable.

Lila was English,the French hate the English and vice versa so I reckon they wouldn't have bothered investigating it !!! She did have a highly annoying accent as well.No loss there.

Deb was right. Lila was a vampire. She was atrocious. She was perfectly cast though. She was made to contrast Rita and boy did she!!! In every conceivable way. It was such a nightmare but I don't think the season would have been as interesting without it.

I loved Lila's clothes. She didn't dress like a vampire. She dressed like a harmless girl next door. It's kinda funny actually. I love her shorts and shoes.

Why did he give her a spinal again? He said something about her not needing to feel it and that he had a plain to catch. What difference would it have made? Her being in pain wasn't gonna slow him down, was it? Or did he have some slight appreciation for what she made him learn about himself?

Apparently his usual way puts these people out for a long time. So a spinal would keep keep her counsious yet no feel the pain, so he can talk with her, tell her he appreciated what she did for him, and then do the deed an leave quickly.

I don't think so. He layed her in a plastic zipper bag before killing her. I am almost 100% sure. why do that if you are planning just to leave her there?

He might check her in on the plane, like in Weekend At Bernies. But if he decides not to do that, the he must have been planning to do SOMETHING with the body besides just leaving it there. He would not care to do the coroners a favor by bagging her for them. He doesn't care about stuff like that. (Remember when he showed Miguel where he 'burried' Freebo? Miguel pointed out that the cops need to find the body so they could stop looking for him. Dexter didn't care whether the cops kept looking for Freebo or not.)
And by bagging Lila, he would create a major investigation if he just left her in the apartment bagged. That investigation might eventually lead back to Miami. Lila's passport, whether fake or real, was probably still in her apartment, and it would show that she had recently been in Miami. Maybe word of the BHB became international news. ("Hundreds of human chopped up remains recovered from the sea."). So if Dexter Bagged Lila, he must have been planning something other than leaving it. Dexter does not do things like that for no reason.

"Jayc16, are you Lundy in disguise or one of the writers?

I know, he thinks of every possible theory there could be.
Okay, so he bagged her for a reason, but, like someone else mentioned, how would he get the body out without causing suspicion? A laundry chute perhaps? Didn't he zip up the bag before he left? So was he going to cut her up as usual? There is no way he could have brought her back on the plane.
The biggest question is, how did Dex go to Paris without causing suspicion at home? He had Deb to answer to still and work. He must have either left at the same time as Lila, or before her as he was waiting for her at the apartment. I had a discussion about that with someone else last season. We couldn't figure out the timeline for the whole thing.

I liked Lundy. He was a little dry, but you had to watch you P's and Q's around him. No sloppy stuff as far as crime is concerned.
I hope he makes a guest appearance for an episode or two.
I wish I was one of the writers. I'd love to do this stuff. (And the stories I'd write!! Maybe one sub plot where a group of friends and see Dex disposing of the bodies. Then Dex finds himself trapped and compromised by the group, but to Dexter's surprise they lend their services and become part of Dexter's Dark Avengers. This group would perform clandestined 'operations' santioned by Dexter, but not involving him in any way. If any of them gets caught, Dexter is not in the picture. etc. etc Then they branch out to high crime areas in the country, and eventually the world. Part of their code would be that if any one does a wrongful kill, uses the organization for personal reasons, or in any way jeopardizes the organization, they will be delt with.

Gotta go. We are working on someone right now.
But here is a possible answer. Like you said, the chute, but for garbage. Lots of building have them.
He bagged and zipped her up only to take her to the bathtub - so no blood would spill. He chopped her up in the tub and placed her in little bags and sent her down the garbage chute. Or if there was an incinerator, better. That would solve the issue of carrying her body out of the building and then disposing of it. (On the criuse he did this un under an hour.) That sounds like a plausible solution.

What if he had a trunk that we did not see. He could have doubled the body over and sealed her in the trunk. He could have had a dolly and moved the trunk to a rented van. Then he could have driven to a deserted warehouse and set up a kill room as usual with supplies he purchased in Paris.

Then after the bags were loaded in the van he could have already rented a boat and dropped dear old Lila off at sea. The timing, the planning, the expense, would be worth it. "Don't get caught!" Dexter is very good at details and I would think he would do everything he could in France to not leave any evidence.

My guess anyway!

There is one minor flaw in the theory. Well, not so minor really. Paris not on the coast. Details!

Sorry, didn't mean to disturb your work...please proceed.
Okay, the garbage chute incinerator theory would work.
But what about his excuse while he was out of the country?

Dexter could have put her in the bag so that it would contain the smell of decaying body. And since no one would be missing her it'd take months, perhaps even years to find her body. Do you find this valuable?
