There are few things in this world that I love more than wildly speculating about my favorite TV shows, and fortunately, Riverdale never fails to provide mysteries in need of unpacking. It's one of the reasons why my friend John Padden and I started The Riverdale Register, a recap podcast where we also attempt to piece together all of the CW show's many puzzles. Going into Season 5, the mystery du jour is who is sending creepy taped reenactments of Riverdale's most horrifying murder — that may or may not be actual snuff films — to the Riverdale High gang.
While I am loving the pure horror that is the Riverdale Voyeur's modus operandi, I was totally lost as to who this new villain could be going into Season 5...until John put a brilliant idea in my head. What if Jughead's little sister Jellybean is actually the Voyeur?
Upon reviewing the evidence, it became clear: Jellybean not only could make sense as the Voyeur, there's actually huge pile of evidence stacked against her. While Riverdale tends to play by fever dream rules, there are concrete facts about Jellybean's potential involvement with the tapes that are simply too hard to ignore.
Throw out your Bret Weston Wallace theories, people: This is the real deal.
Here's some evidence that Jellybean is actually the Voyeur, and that I should probably start listening to John more.
