Bold and the Beautiful fans have been steadily trying to figure out who the murderer in Los Angeles is. Two beloved characters, Tom (played by Clint Howard) and Hollis (Paul Hollister), were killed off during the soap’s summer murder mystery. Fans have been pointing the finger at several different people on the show, but now they think they’ve figured out who’s done it. Here’s why they believe it is Justin Barber.

Who Killed Tom & Hollis?

Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) has been labeled as the latest suspect in the murders of Tom and Hollis. Fans recently took to Reddit to discuss the possibility of Justin being the killer.

It was previously thought that Dr. Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) was the killer. After all, she had plenty of motive for wanting Tom gone. He was going around telling people that he was Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) dad. Li was the one who performed the questionable paternity test for Bill (Don Diamont).

Other characters Bold and the Beautiful fans have suspected were Bill himself, Poppy (Romy Park), and everybody’s favorite villainous Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).

However, now that things have continued to unfold, B&B viewers believe they may have guessed wrong. There have been several hints dropped that Justin Barber may actually be the murderer in Los Angeles after all.

Bold And The Beautiful Fans Talk About Justin As A Suspect

One fan wrote on Reddit, “Anyone think Justin Barber is the killer. He was THERE when Tom died! he shows up, does a solid for Dollar Bill & all is forgiven. Justin killed both of them and set up Poppy & ruin Bills happiness.JMHO, It’s not Poppy, too easy. The more I think about Li, she’s not the killer it’s Justin!”

Several other viewers commented, considering that it could be an RJ lookalike. Ridge Forrester Jr., also known as RJ, is played by Joshua Hoffman. They suggested an RJ lookalike could have done the work for Justin Barber.

Another person suggested that Justin killed Tom, but that Poppy is still somehow connected to the murder. One person simply wrote, “Justin looks and sounds evil. Okay he did it.” Another viewer chimed in, “Not hating this theory, but what’s the motive?”

The biggest motivation for Justin Barber coming back to commit the murder would be to get revenge on Bill. It’s possible he came back to kill Tom and frame Bill for the murder. Another fan pointed out that, rather than revenge, they could have planned it together.

“But he and Bill claim to have resurrected their friendship,” they wrote. “Which makes me think Bill is also involved somehow.”

One skeptic pointed out that Hollis clearly knew whoever approached him at Il Giardino. Justin and Hollis didn’t know each other, so it couldn’t have been him. Or could it?

The murder mystery will continue to play out on Bold and the Beautiful in the weeks to come. You can tune in on weekdays on CBS.
