Title The Scarecrow Spoiler
If Scarecrow drew inspiration from the infamous Hwaseong case, then the real perpetrator wasn’t caught until three decades later—by which time he was already in prison for the murder of his sister-in-law. He eventually confessed, even saying he was surprised he had evaded capture for so long, despite having encountered detectives back then; they had only questioned him about people around him. At the time, he worked as a crane operator.Meanwhile, Yoon—who had polio—was wrongly accused of the serial murders and spent 20 years in prison. If Scarecrow follows a similar timeline, it’s likely that the wrong suspect was Gi-beom’s friend with a limp, while the real perpetrator may have been the other friend who was never interviewed. This could have been due to the investigators’ belief at the time that the killer’s blood type was B, when in fact it was O all along.
