Brian Moser is infamously known as the Ice Truck Killer , and the motortruck seen inOriginal Sinepisode 6 was even from the same party as the truck Brian used inDexter : " Miami Chills . “In hindsight , it look likeOriginal Sinwas very overtly foreshadowing what Harry would discover just a few installment later on .

Interestingly , it does n’t actually seem like Brian was drive the ice truck inOriginal Sinepisode 6 . base on the NHI Killer ’s dupe , he does n’t need to have infrigidation yet , as he ’s not draining his victims of bloodline .

6Dexter Theorized The NHI Killer Was A New Serial Killer Experimenting With His Methods
Brian’s Young Age & Recent Incarceration Meant He Fit Dexter’s Profile Of The NHI Killer
The NHI Killer that Dexter , Maria LaGuerta ( Christina Milian ) , Harry , and Clark Sanders ( Aaron Jennings ) have been inquire was also a major hint at Brian ’s lawful role in the show . AfterOriginal Sinepisode 8 , it ’s clear that Brian is the NHI Killer , but the case also pointed to him long before Harry assemble it all together . When Dexter first identified the serial killer , he suggested the NHI Killer was a new liquidator , and that the modus operandi of his kills were different because he was still visualize out the most pleasurable mode to vote out someone . That ’s a about gross verbal description of Brian , as he would have just take off down .
One of the good consecutive killers from the original Dexter may have seem in Original hell , and sequence 6 made the hypothesis even more plausible .
Back when the NHI Killer ’s personal identity was still a secret , the fact that his methods were changing so much also pointed to Brian for another reason . AsDexterfans know , Brian would finally perfect his killing to the point where he could stop dead his victims and completely drain them of parentage . It would have take a long fourth dimension and a lot of experience to develop that ghoulish skill , so it made perfect sense for Brian to come out exercise as soon as he got out of the psychiatric hospital . A new serial killer pose better at cleanup seems like a massive pointer pointing at Brian in hindsight .
5Dexter Had A Unique Insight Into The NHI Killer’s Mind, Like He Did With Brian
Dexter Had A Preternatural Ability To Know What The NHI Killer Was Thinking, Just Like He Did With The Ice Truck Killer
Dexter ’s theory about the NHI Killer ’s relative lack of experience was n’t the only part of his investigation that indicated Brian was the murderer . With all three of the NHI Killer ’s victim , Dexter had an almost uncanny power to look into the murderer ’s mind . He literally envisioned all three kills as they belike happened , and he seemed to know exactly what the killer was thinking at the time . One of the few other characters Dexter has show to have that type of connection with was Brian , as seen in their cat and mouse biz fromDexterseason 1 .
Brian Moser , Dexter ’s brother , appear in Dexter : Original wickedness , but the prequel show did n’t explicate just how important Brian is to the Morgan family unit .
Dexter has always had a singular penetration into the judgement of killers , and he frequently uses his insider cognition to solve crimes , but it was different with the NHI Killer . Dexter was n’t just relating to him as a killer , their bond seemed to ply deep , almost all the mode to their blood . Dexter was so standardized to the NHI Killerthat it would have been strange if he had n’t turned out to be Brian Moser . There ’s no telling how similar Dexter and Brian really were , but their ability to basically read each other ’s persuasion was eerily ostensible in hindsight .
4The NHI Killer’s Victims Line Up With The Ice Truck Killer’s
Brian Targeted Oppressed People Who Wouldn’t Be Missed As Both The NHI Killer & The Ice Truck Killer
Another key part of the NHI Killer cause that pointed to Brian Moser was the victims themselves . The NHI Killer got his moniker because he targeted NHIs : a term coined by Miami Metro to describe murder victim who were homeless , addicted to drugs , or sex workers - meaning " no humans involved . “Maria LaGuerta deduced that the NHI Killer take his target specifically because no one would comment if they go missing , and the police rarely gave such murders much anteriority in the yesteryear . That ’s very similar to how the Ice Truck Killer prefer his victims .

All of the Ice Truck Killer ’s victims inDexter- save for Tony Tucci - were sex workers . That was partially because he wanted to recreate Laura Moser ’s death with his own victims , but also partially because it made it harder to track him down . If it had n’t been for Deb ’s premature oeuvre in Vice and Dexter ’s connexion to Brian , Miami Metro probably would n’t have found Brian at all . Unlike his method of cleanup , it seems that Brian ’s pick of victim did n’t shift much as he get more experienced .
3Original Sin Made A Point Of Showing Brian’s Disturbing Habits As A Child
Brian Used To Pull Lizards' Tails Off & Even Stabbed A Man As A Child
There has also been a cosmopolitan focus on Brian Moser throughoutOriginal Sinthat vaguely hinted he would be important . In some of Harry ’s flashback to his sentence with Laura Moser , Original Sinmade a peak of focusing on Brian and showing how he had psychopathic tendencies from a vernal age . For good example , he would pull up the tails off living lizards for fun and Laura bring up to him as a threat to all the babysitters in the expanse . Brian even stabbed one of Hector Estrada ’s men when they invaded the Moser house , which was unusual for such a young child .
Harry Morgan only adopted one of Laura Moser ’s Son in Dexter : Original Sin , but the prequel show has n’t explained why he did n’t take over Brian yet .
Those reveals from Brian ’s childhood were far more in - deepness than anythingDexterever depicted . While it ’s not entirely unusual for a prequel show to give more entropy about Brian than the original show did , it does deepen with all the other cluesOriginal Sinleft behind . The fact thatOriginal Sindedicated several different scenes to foreshadowing Brian ’s life as a nonparallel killer was a major indication that he ’d get to do some killing at some stage in the prequel show .
2Original Sin Episode 8 Revealed The Origins Of Brian’s Multi-Colored Nails Infatuation
Brian Painted Laura’s Nails With Multiple Colors On The Day She Died
Another moment whereOriginal Sinspent just a bit too much time on Brian Moser rather of Dexter come in installment 8 , when it revealed why Brian was ghost with multicolored nail . Several of Brian ’s victims as the Ice Truck Killer had their fingernails paint all unlike colors , and he even made a point of chopping one of his kills ' fingertips off totally . AsOriginal Sinproved , Brian was obsess with multicolored nails because he paint Laura Moser ’s that direction on the twenty-four hours she expire . Just before introducing an entire raw chapter in the fictitious character ’s life , Original Sinhelped explain a key part of his murders .
Dexterhad previously shown that Laura Moser wear multiple nail polish colors at the same clip , explicate Brian ’s obsession with them . Original Sin , however , showed that Brian himself painted Laura ’s nail that room , and that it was the last happy computer memory he had of his mother .
It would have been odd ifOriginal Sinhad dedicate as much time on showing Brian ’s psychopathic inclination and bring out the cause of his obsession with fingernail finish without focus more on him as an adult . If it was n’t expire to admit Brian as a immature adult , Original Sinlikely would have focused more on Dexter during the abduction than it did on Brian , and the show probably would n’t have dedicated several minutes to developingDexterseason 1 ’s baddie . It was a late hint at whatOriginal Sinhad in store for Brian , but a hint nonetheless .
1The Only People Who Remember Brian In Original Sin Are Going To Die
Harry Morgan, Bobby Watt, Aaron Spencer, & Camilla Figg Are The Only Ones Who Know About Brian Moser
One ofOriginal wickedness ’s hints about what it had plan for Brian Moser only became truly apparentafterit break he was the NHI Killer . At the start ofOriginal Sin , only four people at Miami Metro were around long enough to remember Brian being in the shipping container with Dexter : Harry , Bobby Watt ( Reno Wilson ) , Captain Aaron Spencer ( Patrick Dempsey ) , and Camilla Figg ( Sarah Kinsey ) . AfterSpencer was revealed as the kidnapperand Dexter set his good deal on him , and after Bobby Watt was shot , it became clear thatOriginal Sinwas clearing the way for Brian to make an entrance without being recognized .
The prequel series Dexter : Original Sin is already setting up a central tragic twist that was n’t revealed until the last season of the original serial publication .
On top of the fact thatOriginal Sinis killing off all the character who could identify Brian Moser , the prequel show also went out of its room to show that Harry had already hide Brian ’s existence from Miami Metro . InDexter : Original Sinepisode 4 , Harry asked Camilla to double - check that Dexter had been removed from Brian ’s file . Any lover ofDexteralready knew that Harry had scrub all records of Dexter being Laura Moser ’s tyke from the Indian file , so it now seems that the only intellect for such a conversation was to pave the agency for Brian ’s unnoticed return .
