@Kirroha: Shannon is a viable culprit for Episode 1 since Battler didn't see her corpse, but Gohda's corpse was lying out in the open with its face completely smashed. Battler did see it, and it falls under the "unidentified corpses" red.
Reading your theory made me think of something though. The garden shed is full of all kinds of tools, right? If Battler can use wire cutters to cut his way in through the shutter, what's stopping Shannon from cutting her way
out? That way you don't need to come up with a reason for Natsuhi to be involved.

There's an awful lot of evidence that Battler's sin is breaking his promise to Shannon about coming to see her again six years ago.
- In Beato's first attempt at a test in EP4, she tried to get Battler to reveal the name of the girl he loved most. She didn't bring up his sin until he refused this.
- According to Beato, the sin isn't related to Battler's immediate family, but something fitting for Rokkenjima, the home of the head family. That implies that the victim is someone who lived on Rokkenjima six years ago.
- In EP2, Beato emphasized that unlike humans, she keeps her promises.
- In EP3, Shannon said she remembered Battler and his silly English very clearly, and quoted the promise that he made to her six years ago. It seemed to be a fond memory for her.
- In EP4, Beato repeatedly used mangled English phrases to mock Battler, and said it was supposed to be his specialty.
- Also in EP4, Beato refers to Battler as a "breast sommelier," and says she should be his ideal woman.
That doesn't mean Shannon doesn't love George
now, but there have been a couple subtle hints that Shannon is conflicted or unhappy about George's proposal.

Genji and Gohda would definitely not mistake another person for Kanon.
The only one who can use Kanon's name is the person himself. A different human cannot use that name!
