The same thing goes for the final twilights in EP1 as well. Although for the second twilight I originally theorized that Eva faked her death and George either gave an award winning performance to cover that up, or didn’t know at all, or isn’t even one of the accomplices at all.

Eva and Hideyoshi's deaths were confirmed in red for EP1, although I don't think there was a firm timestamp on it. Eva's stake (Asmodeus) was the same one used to stab Jessica in the back in Episode 2 though, so it doesn't seem like it could be a trick stake that could be used to fake a death. Battler also saw the body up close, and it would probably be impossible to fake the bulging eyes bit for very long, even if you did have a trick stake.

George is definitely a viable suspect for the first twilights, but he has an ironclad alibi for the 6th through 8th in EP1 since he was with Battler.

Spoiler for Regarding the theories for when they run out of time:

Another thing that bothers me is, most of you guys theorize that something like an explosion or landslide happens at the end of the 2 days right? What troubles me is that when the police do arrive, they say they found what looked like butcher scraps in the main hall. Which means that it couldn’t possibly be an explosion or landslide otherwise the police would’ve noticed, unless it was planned to be a cover-up from the beginning. Of course I might’ve misread the ending text for EP1 as well so, yeah.

The disaster isn't necessarily what killed the cousins in EP1. Kanon and possibly Shannon were also alive at the endgame, so one of them could have killed them before the disaster finished them off. That doesn't really explain why the corpses didn't vanish in that round though.

@Jan-Poo: Didn't Kumasawa's master key turn up in an envelope after her body vanished? I don't think there was any proof that she was carrying it beforehand.
