This has been something floating around in the back of mind for months, but I never bothered to chase it up. I did tonight, and now I'm kicking myself. Cindy has been my dark horse throughout. I kept coming back to her, but I had other more prominent suspects that I fancied it being more, but now on the eve of the reveal, with Cindy seeming the obvious choice, I wish I'd pointed this out sooner.
I remember being so excited around the time that the story was announced, and scowering every article and news piece that I could find about it for clues. I remember seeing spoiler pictures of when Ian had to tell the family about Lucy's death, and specifically ones of him telling Cindy and Bobby. When the episode aired however, we didn't actually see him tell them. We saw him sit them down and start to talk, then we followed Denise into the kitchen, and heard their reactions through a closed door.

The scene as it aired, is here: (starts around 4:30)

At the time, I wondered if they simply found those scenes to upsetting to show, so instead left them heavily implied. That episode was the one that ended with the Peter roar, so alternately, maybe they wanted to highlight that scene, Peter obviously being the closest sibling to Lucy.
Now though... Is it possible they cut the scene because they felt it doesn't fit with Cindy being the murderer? Cindy looks genuinely shocked and upset in the photos, not like somebody being told something they already knew. Cindy was never that upset about Lucy.
Maybe I'm just speculating over nothing, but after all this time, it's something that I wish I'd openly pondered before!
