Cross Ending Explained: Who Is Maria’s Killer?

by

As a seasoned fan of detective novels and thriller series, I must say that “Cross” on Prime Video has been an enthralling rollercoaster ride! The intricate plot twists and the suspenseful narrative have kept me hooked from start to finish.

The gripping television series titled “Cross” has been generating a lot of buzz. It follows the exploits of detective Alex Cross as he chases down enigmatic serial killers. Given that it’s now accessible for streaming, there’s been a flurry of conversation on social media about the resolution of the storyline involving his wife Maria’s murder. Here’s an analysis of how the conclusion of “Cross” unfolds, with spoilers included.

What happened at the end of Alex Cross TV series on Prime Video?

Towards the conclusion of the series, Cross states that the primary suspect in the case, Deirdre Nolan, cannot be rehabilitated. Consequently, Nolan receives a life sentence and eventually takes her own life. Even though this case is resolved, Cross later encounters numerous difficulties over the years.

Cross’ wife is brutally killed, and his family starts receiving threats from an unknown figure. Later, it’s revealed that this person is a man named Peter, seeking vengeance for someone named Deirdre. Cross also discovers that Peter was once a student of Damon’s piano teacher, Nancy, who becomes entangled in Peter’s wicked schemes against Cross’ family. Eventually, Nancy points a gun at Cross and forces him to decide which of his children should die.

As a gamer delving into this tale, I uncovered that Nancy manipulated poor Deirdre into taking the fall for Peter’s misdeeds at her behest. I suspect she did this because she thought the court would go easy on Deirdre, possibly due to her white skin. Tragically, the young girl didn’t make it in prison. Later, Peter decided against harming my kids. In the end, John Sampson swooped in to save the day, and Nancy, in a desperate move, immolated herself.

Who killed Maria on Cross and how?

Although the program implies that Peter may have murdered Maria at Nancy’s command, there are also other plausible scenarios to consider.

In the presence of Cross, Nancy echoed Maria’s final phrases, yet clarified that she wasn’t the original source; instead, she had heard it from another individual. It’s important to note that this person isn’t Peter, as Nancy wouldn’t use “was told” if Peter was the suspected killer.

Previously, Cross got a call from an unidentified woman who inquired whether he desired to hear his wife’s final message. This implies that there might be another individual implicated in the crime beyond Peter and Nancy. Also, the person who brought back Maria’s scarf remains undisclosed, even with suspicions on the mother-son pair. However, it was previously established that Peter was not the murderer in the original book. Therefore, if Peter is not the culprit, then perhaps Maria’s murder case could be resolved in a future series installment, with an unexpected twist.
