Suspects

 * Scott Ross - Immediately suspected because he provided the fentanyl pills that caused Harrison to overdose. He admitted supplying the pills but was not arrested because he gave up his dealer's name and location.
 * Miles O'Flynn - Scott named Miles as his drug dealer and told Sergeant Logan where to find him. Miles was arrested and Logan threatened to charge him with homicide for causing the deaths of eighteen drug victims. This made Miles tell him the name of the guy who made the fentanyl pills: Jasper Hodge.
 * Jasper Hodge - Revealed to manufacture the deadly pills, which he unknowingly created containing fatal amounts in a single dose. He was ultimately found dead in the attic of his house of a fentanyl and ketamine overdose.
 * Dexter Morgan - Police Chief Angela Bishop realised that Dexter, posing as Jim Lindsay, had murdered Jasper for causing Harrison to overdose. This led her to connect Dexter to the Bay Harbor Butcher murders and the murder of Matt Caldwell.

History of Killers
Jasper Hodge and Miles O'Flynn were drug dealers operating in Moose Creek. Jasper made the fentanyl pills in his house and sold them via Miles for profit. However, many of the drugs contained fatal amounts in a single dosage due to Jasper's carelessness or lack of knowledge. This led to at least eighteen deaths from OD'ing on Jasper's drugs, as well as the non-fatal overdose of Harrison Morgan.

Dexter Morgan (known at the time as Jim Lindsay) was a former blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide, as well as a serial killer known as the Bay Harbor Butcher. After his son Harrison OD'ed on drugs at a party, Dexter tracked down Miles and attempted to kill him before the police intervened. He then broke into Jasper's house and forced him to ingest a fatal quantity of his own drugs.
