He really likes getting under the skin of the cops as it gives him a high. The audience is given a strong feeling that Albert is the kidnapper but is far from the truth. But it turned out Albert was only craving for the attention and was bluffing as his location at the time of the murder ruled him out as a suspect. Albert has even claimed to be the murderer in one of the past unsolved cases. Who is Albert Sparma?Īlbert is not the murderer (disclosed only at the ending of The Little Things) but a mere crime junkie. Jim is very much like Deke and puts his work above everything else, sometimes even family.

Jim is the lead investigator on the ongoing murder case and begins taking advice from Deke. Deke, who is now doing a less intense job, happens to cross paths with the team handling the current case. Years later, the murderer seemingly returns and is committing crimes in much the same way. However, the incident leaves Deke shattered – a divorce and a heart attack. The team of cops and coroner decide to hide Deke’s mistake and state that the girl was found dead with a stab wound. It turns out to be one of the kidnapped girls that managed to get free. Deke happens to shoot at a person approaching in from the dark, thinking it is the perpetrator. As part of the investigation, Deke and the team go to a location to find three dead girls. It was a sick fantasy, and none of the women were sexually abused. Their naked dead bodies would be left for authorities to find. It was the case of an abductor who kidnapped and tortured young women. Who is Joe “Deke” Deacon? What’s his story?ĭeke is an earnest cop, and one of his cases in the past had him running in circles. Before we jump to the ending of The Little Things, let’s quickly go through the plot.
