Why Someone Would Kill Wes in the Outer Banks (and Blame the Curse)

Wes was rich

As Genrete, Wes owned Goat Island and was rich. So, there is a reason for that Wes was murdered for his money and/or property. The motive seems too simple, but Netflix Outer Banks is a teen drama show, not a supernatural one. It is quite unlikely that Elizabeth’s ghost is the one behind Wes’ death, especially since he was strangled by a living being. Therefore, the only other possible reason Wes died is because someone wanted his money and land.

Thanks to the famous Gnrette family curse, it is easy for the criminal to blame for his death. Many family members have seemingly succumbed to the curse in the past, including Wes’ daughter, Larisa Genrete. Perhaps Wes is just Elizabeth’s latest victim – it would be easy to make it seem that way given the family history. However, due to his cause of death and the fact that the show is not too deep in the supernatural, the killer of Wes is undoubtedly a living being who probably wants Goat Island in Netflix’s exciting series Outer Banks Season 4, Part 1.

Who are the most likely suspects for Wes Genrette’s killer in Outer Banks Season 4

Shoupe suspects the Pogues

Outer Banks Season 4, episode 4 features Shoupe interrogating Wes’ son-in-law, Chandler Groff, at the police station. During their conversation, Groff explains that Wes’ property goes to the state after his death. Given that Groff is Wes’ only living relative (at least, to the public’s knowledge), the state would likely give the land to him. Season 4, Part 1 also ends with Grof looking over Goat Island with Hollis Robinson (the realtor who makes a deal with Rafe). If anyone killed Wes, it was gross, Especially if he was unaware that JJ was his and Larissa’s son Outer Banks Season 4.

Perhaps Groff is just a red herring, though, and someone else is killing Wes. The other main villains are Lightner, Dalia, and their crew, who seek the treasure of Blackbeard Outer Banks Season 4, Part 1. They are willing to do anything to get what they want, and maybe Wes was in their way, so they killed him. whatever the case, Outer Banks Season 4, part 2 will explain the circumstances behind Wes’ death, clear questions about who killed him and why they did it.
