Who really killed Margaret McCoy Dresden
morriswalters:
In the years since Harry was born no one became aware that Raith couldn't feed at all. So it isn't a stretch to think he could have used as many sacrifices as he wanted. And since we only saw one instance of the curse being cast it's hard to say if it required a sacrifice. However Raith isn't written as an idiot, so I have a hard time thinking that he shot a gun without being certain of his target.

Those two things really don't reflect on each other. It's a lot easier to hide not killing people than it is to hide killing them by the hundreds.

Agreed, we don't know it for certain, though I think Lord Raith makes reference to using one of the three as a previous sacrifice, because she had targeted Inari.
And certainly he knew who his target was; the question is whether he kept firing when it became clear he couldn't hit her.

Is everybody certain that Margaret McCoy Dresden is actually dead. We know Dresden's dad is dead because his soul came back for a visit in Dead Beat. But do we have any specific trustworthy evidence that she is dead. For example, did Lea specifically SAY that she was dead. Not gone, not missed - but dead.
Going by the comic book rule. If you do not see the body, then you cannot assume that the person is really dead. Even if you see the body, there is still a chance they are not really dead.

Well, she used her death curse. That would mean she's pretty dead.

Literally every single reference anyone has ever made of her has been that she's dead. A demon from Hell lamented that when she died she went to heaven. Ebenezer McCoy stated outright that she's dead. She used her death curse. Jim said she's dead.
So, yes. She's dead. There's nothing in any of the books or Word of Jim that has ever suggested that she's still alive.
