As a detective , he would have the most knowledge of cut up bodies and freezing them , as that ’s a signature serial killer move . At the goal of the celluloid , Detective Bailey is the one to excuse to Sam and Tara why they had to kill Jason and Greg . This may suggest he was the one to do it . Another hint is Ghostface ’s iconic questionnaire he gives his victim . While this is a raw material of the enfranchisement , and every Ghostface does this in the opening vista , the way it resembles an interrogative sentence would delineate up well with the detective .

Victim: Dr. Christopher Stone
No one has an exculpation in this scene , so it would seem it ’s the grueling to pin on one of the Ghostface killers . However , there ’s a circumstances of evidence that confirms that Detective Bailey ’s Ghostface kills Christopher Stone . As the ring loss leader , it ’s no surprisal Bailey is the one to do most of the work . At the beginning ofScream 6 , the investigator is trying to redact Sam for Jason and Greg ’s murders .

Victims: Quinn’s Boyfriend & Anika
The apartment murders present two possibleScream 6killers with either Detective Bailey or his son Ethan . The murder style is a lilliputian unlike from the previousScream 6kills , in the way that Ghostface pang and kills Anika , and it would make signified to swop up who the killer is . However , Ethan distinguish his friend he was missing when the execution happened because he was in course of study . His friends do n’t think him , but later on they confirm his self-justification checks out .
It would n’t be severe for Ethan to fake his exculpation because his father is a detective . However , if he really was at econ , Detective Bailey would have to be Ghostface again . It could n’t have been Quinn because she was faking her own death at the time , and it would have been too high-risk for her to represent as Ghostface .
Victim: Gale (Not Fatal) & Brooks
Ghostface: Quinn
Though Gale came close to being one of Ghostface ’s victim inScream 6 , she is still alive and in the infirmary , and it ’s assume she ’ll make it out alive . While she did n’t die , the killer made a estimable attempt at eliminating Gale from the game while also killing Gale ’s partner , Brooks . This was another attack where the Ghostface culprit is confirmed . Quinn says at the ending of the cinema that it was her , but even if she did n’t squeal , she ’s the only option .

At the time Ghostface was heading to Gale ’s apartment , Detective Bailey was with Sam and Tara in Central Park , trying to get the Orcinus orca . Meanwhile , Ethan was in the van with Mindy and Kirby , tracking Ghostface ’s location . Another clue is Gale was capable to put up a good fight against Ghostface , meaning the Orcinus orca would have to be around her size and weight .
Victim: Mindy (Not Fatal)
Mindy appear to give-up the ghost in the metro attack scenery , but it ’s by and by revealed that she lives too . Technically , this is not one of Ghostface ’s kills , but it was an attack with an obvious resolution . Quinn also admitted to being the one to go after Mindy . However , she did n’t have to , as the Ghostface could only have been her .
During the attack , Ethan was in the underpass car with Mindy . This act as as an alibi and cleared his name , which was specially good because Mindy was wary of him being Ghostface . The audience also sees Detective Bailey soon after , and he could n’t have been in two blank space at once .
Victim: Chad (Not Fatal)
Ghostface: Quinn & Ethan
Until the very end , it appear as if Chad had been wipe out by Ghostface , and it ’s still unclear how he survived such brutal stabbings . However , when he and Tara were attacked and it seemed like he ’d been shoot down , it was likely Quinn and Ethan behind the attacks .
The first killer to set on Tara was probably Quinn because she was able to quickly escape off the subway and get to Tara and Chad , while Ethan had to ride out behind and care for Mindy . Meanwhile , Detective Bailey was calling Sam to trick her into believing that Kirby was no longer an FBI agent and was allow go for being mentally unstable . When Ethan catches up with Quinn , he helps her savagely stab Chad .
The turn of experience threeScream 6killers , five including Jason and Greg , was aScreamfranchise secret plan auto-changer , as it made it even gentle for them to kill with so many Ghostfaces to bear out the slaying . While only a few attack were confirm , with close observation , it ’s easy to see which Ghostface was responsible for which victim inScream 6 .
