Part 3/8:
As the Ice Truck Killer case unfolded, Dexter’s increasingly erratic behavior and absences made Doakes suspicious. Notably, in Season 1, Episode 12, as the plot thickened with Deb being kidnapped, Doakes tracked Dexter to a shipping yard, where he challenges Dexter’s feeble excuse about waiting for furniture delivery from Thailand.
From his bewildering explanations to his odd behaviors during crime scene investigations, all raised red flags for Doakes. His observations revealed a pattern where Dexter’s unusual fascination with the gruesomeness of murders served as an alarming indication of his potential darker impulses.
