The Chilli Farmers Are Linked To Ernesto Cata & George Bowlegs
They Are Sketchy Characters From The Jump
It ’s obvious from the sketchy , too - innocent reaction of Halsey , coupled with Suzanne ’s unmortgaged discomfort , that the " chili farmers " know far more than they claim aboutErnesto Cata ’s murderand the likely whereabouts of George Bowlegs . While the group as a whole may not have been directly involve in Ernesto ’s putting to death , they are clearly familiar with the boys and have interacted with them before . Their clamming up and Suzanne ’s reaction reveal , without them meaning to , that their interactions with the boy were steady enough and suspicious enough that it links them to the larger case .
Teddi Issacs , the archaeologist in Dark Winds season 3 , was scourge by the news of Ernesto Cata ’s last , and her reaction seemed quite mistrustful .

Why Do The Farmers Have Pictures Of Bernadette & Other Border Patrol Officers?
They Could Be Part Of Tom Spenser’s Human Trafficking Operation
It ’s not clear-cut why the Fannie Merritt Farmer have pictures of Bernadette Manuelito and other Border Patrol officer in the barn on their farm , which now look abandoned . But it ’s enough to make a few educated guesses . It could be that the farm serves as a variety of way place for people being traffic in or out of the United States . It could also be that the Spenser mathematical operation is smuggle drug , like it was in the book . Just outside of Navajo reservation land , it ’s close enough to the border to make movement through the desert slowly , but not so close that it would risk the Border Patrol lollygag around their operation .
It could be that the farm serve as a form of way station for people being trafficked in or out of the United States .
Perhaps Halsey and a few others avail transmit the trafficked women and kid , or the drug , whichever it show to be . While some in the farm / cult , like Suzanne , are clear victims , Halsey is a bad man and there are likely others in on it . The doomed Wade , whomBudge de Baca off inDark Windsseason 3 ’s previous episode , sure as shooting seems like he might have been one of the chili Fannie Farmer .
If they ’re helping to transfer the victims and/or drugs , then it would make sense that they ’d be arm with information about any potential pitfall there – such as , say , a determined young Border Patrol agent who has been stick her nose into their business and getting a little too confining . If Tom Spenser has turn to trafficking citizenry , it could be that his oil color wells are dry up , and if they are , he ’d ask a pretty sizable illegal operation to make up the difference in income . That requires wads of co - conspirator and informants spread out in a wide net , and it ’s probable that ’s where the James Leonard Farmer fit into the secret plan inDark Windsseason 3 .
