‼️Conspiracy Theory‼️
For my fans of The Office... Toby Flenderson is the Scranton Strangler. And I’ll tell you why...

Motive (Pt. 1):
Toby works in a low paying job, where all of his coworkers are tremendously rude to him. Michael being the worst of the bunch.

Motive (Pt. 2):
Toby had a failed marriage, was divorced, and struggles to form a relationship with his daughter. He developed a crush on Pam, and felt optimistic after she split with Roy and even asked her out. However, he was forced to watch her fall in love with Jim.

Motive (Pt. 3):
Finally, Toby was fed up. He decided to move to Costa Rica for work, which resulted in him being hospitalized after a zip lining accident and was stuck there for months. This was the breaking point for him.

This is where things get good... The Scranton Strangler was introduced in Season 6, when Pam and Jim have their baby. An obviously frustrating day for Toby.
Toby was seen at the start of the episode trying to get in the elevator, but was blocked off by Michael. Once everyone arrived at the hospital, he was the only one missing...
The very next day, Andy brought in a present for Cece. A copy of the newspaper that reads “Scranton Strangler strikes again”
Later in the series, the crew was at a church for Cece’s Christening. Toby had a noticeably difficult time going into the church, suggesting a guilty conscious. When he eventually went in he started asking God why he was always so mean to him.
Fast forward some more to “The Viewing” episode. This is when the chase down between the police and the Scranton Strangler happened. Everyone was there watching. That is, except Toby...
But wait a minute... We’ve seen that car before. Not just anywhere, but in the Dunder Miflin parking lot itself...
Wrapping things up, Toby got summoned for Jury Duty to be on the Scranton Strangler cade. He came across as very confident that they got it right, that the real Scranton Strangler was behind bars
However, he went back on that later on in the show as he confesses in Michael’s last Dundies that he feels guilty that he put an innocent man behind bars...
Consumed with guilt, Toby goes to visit the man he deemed guilty. The seen of the interaction was never shown, but instead had Toby leaving in a neck brace. Viewers assumed that this meant it was really the strangler, yet I disagree
Toby either faked the attack, or he confessed to the man in prison that he was the real Scranton Strangler, and the man attacked him out of anger for his false imprisonment.
Toby is the real Scranton Strangler. Change my mind. This is the end of the thread. I hope you enjoyed, or else i’m sorry for wasting your time 😂
Disclaimer: I did not come up with this theory. I just wanted to share the theory to Twitter because I thought it was really interesting. I heard about it about 3 years ago when I first watched the show, and there’s several other posts of it on Tumblr and Youtube.
