Considering someone will eventually notice he's missing eventually, and his claim to Jamie that Dexter is trying to ruin his life, this may become part of the case being built by LaGuerta against Dexter as the Bay Harbor Butcher. And at least at this point, Deborah probably wouldn't believe him if he said that he hadn't killed Louis ... Plus given the fact that the department is already riled up about losing one of their own, Louis might add to that collective anger.

Based on his more recent actions, I don't think he knew about Dexter's murderous habits, but I do suspect that he had kept up with the occasional articles on the Miami Metro Homicide Department, some of which probably spoke about Dexter Morgan. His idolization early on might suggest that he saw Dexter as the guy who actually "caught" the bad guys since he's the nerd behind all the muscle in there.

His video game, which was shown to be modeled around the police station, might have included Dexter either as the main opponent to the "serial killer" which was to be controlled by the human player, or possibly even as the playable serial killer. If the latter was found, that might put some pretty dangerous ideas in the head of LaGuerta and Quinn and anyone else who has been suspicious of Dexter over the years.

While he was clearly an ass, I would have liked to see him further developed, maybe to eventually become a proper opponent to Dexter in the 8th season. Killing him off ends any hope of a true multi-season villain, though the Koshka Brotherhood or Yvonne Strahovski's character might be able to play the role of the ticking time bomb ...

That said, I do appreciate the writers' recent trend of not sitting on important information or ideas too long. If it's not in the new 2-season vision, don't waste valuable screen time on it (though Louis wouldn't really apply given his bizarre tendencies).
