Did Lundy Sell Dexter’s Bay Harbor Butcher Trophies to Leon Prater? Fan Theory Explained

Which FBI agent sold Dexter's trophies from 2007 to the billionaire?


Dexter: Resurrection delivered one of the most jaw-dropping episodes of the revival series so far. In a bold and risky move, Dexter Morgan attends Leon Prater’s exclusive dinner party—while impersonating Ronald Schmidt. For the first time in the show’s history, Dexter isn’t just using an alias—he’s stepping into someone else’s identity face-to-face.

The reward for this daring infiltration? Bigger than even he expected.

Dexter’s High-Stakes Infiltration

Unlike previous seasons where Dexter relied on fake names and forged credentials, this time he goes all in. Determined to gain access to Leon Prater’s inner circle, he dons a full-blown identity and walks straight into a mansion filled with mystery—and danger.

And yet, what he finds isn’t just useful intel—it’s a buffet of surprises.

The Lady Vengeance Revelation

One of Dexter’s most intriguing encounters at the party is with Mia LaPierre, also known by her darker alter ego, Lady Vengeance. When Dexter discovers that Mia also follows a strict moral code—not unlike Harry’s Code—it leaves him both stunned and fascinated.

Could she be an ally in the making? Or is she a dangerous wildcard?

A Candy Store of Future Victims

Surrounded by elites with dark pasts, Dexter finds himself in a metaphorical candy store: potential targets everywhere, each more suspicious than the last. This party quickly turns into a perfect hunting ground—full of clues, patterns, and people he may one day need to cross off his list.

The Shocking Discovery in Leon Prater’s Vault


But the biggest twist comes when Leon Prater personally shows Dexter a hidden room—his private vault. What lies inside is nothing short of chilling: a collection of morbid memorabilia tied to infamous serial killers, both from real life and the Dexter universe.

Among the items, viewers spotted:

  • Trinity’s hammer
  • Brian Moser’s blood-stained kill table (where Dexter killed his own brother)
  • And—most shockingly—Dexter’s own blood slide box from Season 2

Yes, that slide box. The very one Doakes discovered in Dexter’s air conditioner back in Season 2, Episode 9 (“Morning Comes”). For longtime fans, this was a historic moment. It’s been 15 years (in Dexter’s timeline) since we last saw those slides, and even Dexter can’t hide his shock and eerie excitement as he sees them again.

A Chilling Throwback to the Bay Harbor Butcher Case

As fans will remember, those blood slides were critical evidence. They almost exposed Dexter as the Bay Harbor Butcher when Sgt. James Doakes discovered them. Unfortunately for Doakes, the FBI ended up finding the slides in his car trunk, ultimately leading to Doakes being posthumously blamed for the murders.

The slides were supposed to be secured in FBI evidence storage. So how did they end up in Leon Prater’s hands?

Who Sold the Trophies to Leon Prater?

Prater casually reveals to Dexter that he bought the Bay Harbor Butcher’s trophy box from an FBI agent with a gambling addiction. That revelation opens the door to a flood of theories.

Immediately, many fans thought of Special Agent Frank Lundy, the man who led the Bay Harbor Butcher investigation at Miami Metro. After all, he had access to the evidence. Could he have secretly sold the slides?

Could It Really Have Been Frank Lundy?


The short answer: highly unlikely.

Here’s why:

  • The show never hinted that Lundy had any kind of addiction, let alone gambling problems.
  • He was portrayed as a man of integrity and strong moral principles.
  • Lundy was murdered in 2009, just two years after the BHB case was solved. It’s improbable that in that short window, he would steal and sell the evidence—especially with the case still red-hot.

So, if not Lundy, then who?

A More Likely Explanation

The more plausible theory is that the transaction happened years later—once the case went cold and was officially closed. By then, Doakes had been declared the Bay Harbor Butcher, and no one was actively looking into the matter anymore.

It’s possible a low-level, corrupt FBI agent—unrelated to the main storyline—quietly sold the slides for personal gain. That would explain how Leon Prater got his hands on the infamous trophy box without raising red flags.
