* The Ledoux family is an illegitimate branch of the Tuttle family. Jimmy Ledoux, a distant relation of the meth cooks Rust and Marty took care of in '95, recalls how his father called them "not white enough to be white trash." Extending this to the rest, perhaps this sprawling clan has been breeding into various subgroups of the human race since primitive man first migrated into North America?

[[WMG: Cohle and Hart knew Ledoux wasn't the only killer, but the cult behind the killings bought their silence somehow.]]
As of episode 4, it's strongly implied there's a cult behind the killings of young women. In the first episode, when the two detectives investigating the case in 2012 reveal to Cohle that there'd been another murder, he doesn't seem particularly surprised. Cohle asks the detectives, "How can it be him, if we already caught him in 95?", but the tone of his voice is half-mocking, which makes it sound like he knew the guy they caught wasn't the (only) killer. So it seems that in 1995 Cohle and Hart find out about this cult, but the cult manages to keep them silent somehow, possibly by threatening their loved ones. The cult probably has connections to local bigshots, like Tuttle or the mayor, which would explain how they manage to hide their existence. They offer Ledoux (who most likely ''was'' involved the death of the two women, but he wasn't the only one) to Cohle and Hart as a consolation price. Ledoux get sentenced, the case is closed, but Hart and Cohle find it hard to work as cops after that, feeling guilty for letting the bad guys go free. Hart becomes a private operator, Cohle turns to booze, and this how we get to 2012.

{{Jossed}}: [[spoiler: Ledoux is caught by Hart and Cohle without any (cult-related, at least) outside influence, and Hart kills him. The cult did not pay the two off, instead Cohle works the case off-books and eventually brings Hart back into it.]]

* Given Cohle's reaction to child endangerment (he [[spoiler: murders a junkie for injecting an infant with methamphetamine, covers up for Hart executing LeDoux]]) he might have taken revenge against someone who [[spoiler: accidentally killed his daughter]]- but instead he carried around an intense, suicidal grief for decades.

[[WMG: GaiasRevenge: The Iñupiaq version]]
As Bee Malee herself puts it ('''bold'''l added), "When they dug in '''her''' home in the ice, when they killed '''her''' daughter in there... they woke '''her''' up." Just who is this "her"? It appears they are referring to a female deity who was seeking revenge for the scientists violating her home and harming the villages with the pollutants. Killing Annie K and spilling her blood in the cave was the final straw for this deity. The women simply left these men at the mercy of a deity that to paraphrase Danvers, is not merciful and had no mercy left. But all that… is just another story.

[[WMG: Rust Cohle or Travis Cohle will figure into the plot in some way]]
The season is set in Alaska. Rust grew up in Alaska (and later spent 8 years there before returning to Lousiana in 2010) and his father Travis Cohle seems to have remained there for the rest of his life. To be noted season one never clarified what exactly happened to Travis (and Rust doesn't seem to know himself) as Travis went off the grid and hasn't been heard from in several years.

[[WMG: Martin Hart’s father was [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/NoCountryForOldMen Carson Wells]].]]
As the events of No Country take place in 1980 Wells would be the right age to father Marty in 1960. Wells doesn’t seem to be a parental type so maybe he was an absentee parent and Hart is Marty’s mother’s maiden name. Either that or he is a result of an affair. Wells operated in Texas so that also puts him right next door in close proximity to Marty’s state of Louisiana. Perhaps Anton and the dope running businessmen in Texas have some connection to the Tuttle Cult and their drug ties.

[[folder:Season 4]]
[[WMG: This season will revisit the CosmicHorrorStory elements of the first season.]]
The official plot summary from HBO reveals that the season will deal with disappearances at the "Tsalal Arctic Research Station", a name referencing Literature/TheNarrativeOfArthurGordonPymOfNantucket, an early example of cosmic horror fiction. This could indicate that this season will [[RevisitingTheRoots return to the first season's style]] of including ambiguous horror/fantasy elements.
