I'm not entirely convinced Carol actually did kill those two... I think it was the one of kids she was mentoring
Carol doesnt strike me as someone that would leave such a huge trail of evidence
I think she did burn the corpses, but she's covering for the kids
this would be the same eprson that's dissecting rat corpses all round the place and leaving them for the walkers
just think about it for a second.. the kid was told to stop being weak, doesnt really have a parental figure for guidance except Carol and she's telling them to shut their emotions down... they saw their dad sick and Carol told them to kill him.. so they see the two sick people, so they decided to prove they're " strong" and kill them
got a kid sociopath and Carol took the fall to protect them
My problem with this theory is that Carol's mentoring hadn't been all that extensive. There were those clandestine lessons on knife use, which from what we saw hadn't really gone into much detail, and then all hell broke loose. What was the period of time between when the girls' father was killed (and the daughter was unable to deliver the key blow), and the two sick people (the first two to get sick) were killed? Wasn't it later the same day, possibly the next day? That's an awfully narrow window for Carol's lessons to take hold.
Not saying you're actually wrong. The rat-feeder, the rat-dissector, and the killer of the two sick folks (if not Carol) has to be someone we've met, or else the producers haven't been playing fair with the audience.
I think it is pretty obvious the drunk is the guy feeding walkers etc...
Think back to the perfectly dissected rat. Kids couldn't do that and he has some medical training. ( I must have missed all his back story, as I do not recall them explaining where the medical training came from).
That does not mean the kids/little girl did not kill the two sick people.
Separate events IMO
add in all the other groups he has been with where he walks away the sole survivor, drunk, slightly weird and the evidence piles up.
Bob, the drunk, was an Army medic. I don't know much about their training, but I don't know that it gives one much more insight into actual anatomy than you would get from dissecting in high school biology.
But what I said above applies to Bob too. I sense there's a reason he's around other than just showing us that alcoholism doesn't take a break for the zombie apocalypse, and we haven't seen what that reason is yet. The point about his having been associated with other groups and being their sole survivor is a little bit suspicious, I agree.
