I saw it. It was his classmate and now a bus driver in town.She said he admitted to her then that he was the killer of JB. She didn't report it because she and JK were in drama together and "he was like that," she said, often blurting out strange dramatic statements. Obviously she should have reported it, though. He also admired her young daughter....
That is exactly what I am referring to, when I refer to "his spell". Its like he freezes people. Look at the way he froze the two agents on the plane from Bangkok (btw: why did they have to name their city as such). Those guys looked like they were on meds hanging out with him. Many will say they were playing the game, but they did not look that in charge to me.
