She was picked up by the Pinkertons, and told them as much as she could, but her status as the resident mooch meant she didn't know anything and was useless as an informant. So they had to go with Micah next.

[[WMG: Sean killed Gavin.]]
Sean Killed Gavin. Hear me out.

One of the few things we know about Gavin is that he has an English accent.

In one campfire talk, Sean can claim to have killed someone with an English accent just to not have to hear it anymore. There's a lengthy pause before he insists that he's joking, and he *loves* the English. But Sean's a pretty unreliable narrator, so it's up for debate whether he did or not.

** [spoiler: Arthur actually brought this up after Molly's death; Dutch's desire for chaos and mayhem is what draws in the authorities, not a traitor. It is entirely possible that Milton got an inkling to the gang's infighting from interrogating Strauss; Strauss might not have told them anything but that doesn't mean Milton did not pick up on anything.

It gang caused everywhere they went made them predictable and Milton and Ross guessed where their next score would be. To add to that, it is entirely possible that Milton got an inkling to the gang's infighting waning faith in Dutch and possible base camp from interrogating Strauss; Charles claims that Strauss might did not have told tell them anything but that doesn't mean Milton did could not pick have picked up on anything. Strauss was kicked out for a reason after all. He all and he could only have been found in or around Roanoke Ridge, so the Pinkertons would have known the gang's general location. Milton probably figured one more push and the gang would be finished, so he lied to Arthur about turning Micah so as to cause the gang to implode right as his men struck their camp, camp. The problem was the operation ended up only being a partial success due to the majority of the gang escaping and it ''worked''.Milton getting killed by Abigail. Even though the rest of the old gang, including Dutch, would cause further trouble down the line, the Van Der Linde Gang was for all intents and purposes dissolved, and after the chaos of the last few months that was good enough for the time being.]]
