[Ticking off the options one by one as Naomi mentions them, silently, Beyond tries to decide which one is most likely. It's difficult to tell, even for him. They all had good reasons, and without anything to indicate the source of... whatever it was that was killing these people, it would be almost impossible to narrow it down by method.]
Who else indeed? A very capable person, to be sure. Not necessarily someone in the medical field, however. It's simple enough to have training independent of a career.
[By method. Killing by... what? Did it work the way he thought it did, or was it something altogether different? No, he felt sure it was similar, somehow. Connected. A pattern that no one else could see.]
[But they appeared to have hit a wall, for now, with only the information they had between them. Even so, Beyond removes the photographs from the envelope again and looks at the potential victims, checking their vitals.]
[Everyone who had gone into the envelope alive came out that way. No more victims yet.]
But we have narrowed it down, somewhat. That is good news, Naomi.
