Tana French isn't Stephen King, so the kids who went missing in the woods weren't pursued by some sort of strange deer-headed, bee-spitting beast…

In In the Woods, the 1984 case is never solved, and probably never will be. As a result, many theories abound. It could have been a random killing. It could have been someone close to the kids. It could have been Rob. Or it could have been a howling, flapping, laughing monster. Eek.
