Only Murders In The Building Never Reveals Who Poisoned Winnie The Dog
It’s one of the show’s few unresolved mysteries
While the mystery of Tim Kono ’s dying was solved by the end ofOnly murder in the Buildingseason 1,the mystery of who poisoned Winnie the dog remain unresolved . Jan was a poisoner , but she seemed more likely to poison a fellow human being than an innocuous dog . Teddy Dimas often used threat to make a spot , so he might have bequeath the note on Oliver ’s door , but there ’s no evidence that he ’s cold - hearted enough to envenom a dog . Detective Daniel Kreps is certainly suspect , but the series ’ timeline does n’t line up to place Kreps as the perpetrator in the poisoning .
At the end ofOnly Murders in the Buildingseason 1 , Mabel refer to some “ loose ending ” left up in the gentle wind . This was likely a ego - aware cite to the fact that the individuality of Winnie ’s poisoner – and whoever leave the sinister line on Oliver and Jan ’s flat doors – remained unresolved . The writers may have left some loose ends and unanswered questions because Charles , Oliver , and Mabel have only just start their podcast and did n’t have much investigatory experience yet . It makes sense that , in their very first murder investigating , they would n’t manage to tie up every single loose end .
