I'm just baffled that somebody would attempt to argue around what was made so incredibly apparent by Ryukishi. It's not like it was a mystery after ep4 or so. Hell, it was barely a mystery in ep1, you were just supposed to casually overlook it.
Yes, it "not" being Shannon could only be possible by using an argument like Erika did in EP8 where she said "George could have killed someone outside rokkenjima, thus he could be a 'culprit'!"

But with the manga now even that is not possible anymore.
