Reddit Sherlocks Were One Step Ahead — They Guessed 'Wednesday’s' Killer Before Season 2 Even Wrapped (Spoilers)

I’ll admit it — Wednesday Season 2 had me spinning in circles with theories, but nothing prepared me for how right some Reddit detectives were about the Avian killer.

As Episode 4 pulled the veil back on Judi Stonehurst’s bloodstained secret, a small but sharp-eyed corner of the fandom was already whispering, "We told you so."

Yep, Judi Stonehurst, the shadowy daughter of disgraced Nevermore teacher Augustus Stonehurst, was confirmed as the Avian. And long before this reveal landed with a murder of crows (pun absolutely intended), fans were out there dropping breadcrumbs.

User spookybrain, r/Wednesday, June 2025:
"I’ve been rewatching Season 1 and something about Judi’s creepy obsession with crows and her dad’s history feels off. She has that dark vibe — could she be the Avian? It would make sense, with her connection to the Stonehurst legacy."

That post aged like fine poison. Another user, mysteryhound, chimed in just weeks later with even more conviction:

User mysteryhound, r/Wednesday, Early July 2025:
"I don’t buy the obvious suspects. Judi’s character is way too focused on birds, and those sinister glances at Nevermore... She’s hiding something. The Avian can’t be anyone else."

I don’t know about you, but I love when the fandom gets it right — especially before the main arc fully unfolds. These Redditors weren’t just guessing; they were piecing together character history, symbolism, and subtle foreshadowing like seasoned Nevermore scholars.

The avian motifs, the family trauma, the eerie calm of Judi’s demeanor… It was all right there if you were looking hard enough.

So, hats off to the fandom’s very own Oracles. If Netflix ever needs plot consultants, they know where to look.
