2) Jordan - chief suspects: Ben (who fears she'll reveal their secret), Kate (to "save" Rafe), and Arthur the Cat (angry about being neglected).
3) Kate - chief suspects: Lucas (finally fed up with his mother's manipulations), Jordan (afraid that Kate was about to learn her secret), and Kate's hair stylist (angry that Kate has eliminated her blue chunk).
4) Brady - chief suspects: John (who's decided that Brady is beyond redemption), Theresa (after Brady included her in his will), and a Titan major stockholder (who feared that Brady was ruining the company).
5) Ben - chief suspects: T (fed up with Ben stealing his face time at the club); Jordan (afraid he'll reveal their secret), and Kate (because he laughed at her suggestion that, like Rafe, he might enjoy a romp with an older lady).
6) Harold - chief suspects: Stefano (after learning he'd been stealing the silverware), Henderson (jealous because Harold was named "butler of the year"), and a burglar (who shot Harold on one of the rare occasions that he answered the door).
