Lara Raith killed Malcolm Dresden
TheCuriousFan:
Also Nic IIRC offered knowledge about who killed Malcolm if he took up the coin in DM, that seems like the kind of offer that'd backfire too easily if Nic was even vaguely involved in Malcolm's death so he was probably off burning orphanages somewhere else at the time.

Nic would know because of Andruiel, but knowledge doesn't mean he did it. Lasciel isn't the first to
offer Harry the information, so did Chauncy, but for a price and Harry wasn't taking the bait.

Malcolm's death may have been part of Margaret's deal with Lea, even if she wasn't aware of it. It could also be a player we don't connect with the death. The only group who we know has reached in to the juvenile system is the BC, who do it to Molly in Proven Guilty. Apparently Margaret was a fellow traveler at a minimum.
Arjan:
I think Justin could perfectly well kill Malcolm using magic and making it look like a natural death, he was a warden after all. And if not he had Bob to explain him exactly how. He also had a motive, with Malcolm alive Harry would stay with him and would not enter the system. Justin might have killed Elaines parent(s) as well just to get hold of her.

While I for one have no doubts about Justin being able to kill Malcolm on the quiet to set Harry up to be 'saved' by him, I do question him being able to conceal him well enough that both Morgan and Eb would be unable to find him, so he definitely had help somewhere. That to me is the more interesting topic.
So who was that? Lea might have wanting to 'toughen him up' with a little isolation. Teach him independence, sounds like her.
Maybe Nemesis, trying to shape him as Morgan feared?
Maybe it was part of Maggie's old cabal (we know Justin was part of it) or perhaps the White Council arranged it, and just didn't know that Justin had gone bad.
Harry has been manipulated for his entire life and we don't even know who might be doing it yet, because Harry doesn't like to ask important questions if it's at all possible.
