I can't wait to see what happens in the 8 years Cohle disappears. Like others have said he probably goes after the people he thinks are responsible, yet obviously he spirals out of control at some point, which is why he is a complete mess. Unless I suppose that could all be an act, as he could be "playing" the investigators to try and find out what they know, like Hart said. Cohle is the master of the interview after all, so he's probably learned more about the investigators then they have about him. They have been showing him pictures of new crime scenes, and yet obviously he's known about them since they actually occurred. I doubt he's even surprised that they're looking into him as a suspect in the case. Plus Cohle is smart enough to realize the investigators would be taking pictures of the crowds at the crime scenes (some thing he asked for in an earlier episode), so he likely wanted to be noticed, maybe he's trying to make himself into the suspect to draw out the real killer(s)?

I honestly have no idea in which direction they're going, maybe the task force is in on it, but then why did they let Cohle and Hart have so much free rein in their investigation? Sure they would have been happy to just shut it down when Ledoux was killed, but what if Cohle and Hart did manage to find out who were actually behind the murders? Maybe that means Hart is with them somehow, but to my knowledge they haven't left us any clues to suspect that he is. So for those guessing he must be involved, that's all purely guess work. Maybe those children were "planted" as well, as it's rather strange that if Ledoux isn't the killer that he'd randomly have a couple kids stored away in the back.

Maybe the show ends with them not finding the killer? Cohle even said this is a world where nothing is solved, something that maybe will apply to this case. That might anger the audience though, but it's a better direction then making Cohle or Hart the killer.

I absolutely love the mood of the show, as it always manages to stay true to itself. It also is a very nuanced show, one which I expect I'll go back to frequently to pick up on the things I've missed out on watching it from week to week.
