Fans Of ‘The Office’ Are Still Finding Evidence To Prove Toby Is The Scranton Strangler

We waved goodbye to Scranton and the workers at Dunder Mifflin almost four years ago, but in the time since, fans of The Office have been haunted by a theory putting lonely HR rep Toby Flenderson behind the mask of the Scranton Strangler. How could such a mild-mannered guy be a killer Well, that’s what they all say.

While various theories have pointed the finger at everyone from Dwight to Jim as the Strangler, most deduce that Flenderson is the culprit thanks to circumstantial evidence. The fact that Toby has been missing at key points throughout the series run, and has a semi-personal relationship with wrongly-convicted George Howard Skub, a picture is painted of a man beaten down by life with a motive to kill.

Would this convict Toby No. And why wouldn’t the police have the license plate of the car they chased Perhaps Toby has multiple, interchangeable plates or maybe this was pure luck, but it adds fuel to the fire that something dark is is playing out under all the heartwarming hijinks of The Office.
