He managed to fight off most of the control once he recognized it, but didn't realize how subtle it was, and his natural paranoia and distrust of warlocks (such as Harry Dresden) was amplified. He had it down to a super short list, but didn't bring anyone else on, because he couldn't be sure who he could trust. He was too close, so Peabody killed him. He didn't know precisely that it was Peabody, but he was down to, say, the last four or five suspects, and it would've been a matter of days.
That's how it played out in my head anyway.

That is some detailed thought and more credit than I would have given LaFortier. But, he was SC.

This has been my assessment as well, except for the infected part (I assume you mean Nemfected). I'm still of the opinion that Mankind cannot be Nemfected.

I could add that I'd believe that LaFortier probably had it stuck in his head that it WAS Harry, but evidence shows that Harry could NOT have been the one, and that is what caused Lafortier to hesitate. He just couldn't reconcile it in his head.

LaFortier irrationally believing Harry is the mole causing him to delay identification of the mole which leads to his death due to the mole's machinations only to wind up having his case solved by Harry seems fitting.
