As some of you might know, sometimes if you go down into the cellar in chapter 2 or chapter 3, you will hear a woman crying. You then go into the room where the chain is and you (the player) a ghost hand, although Adrienne does not seem to see it. Adrienne then rations this to be a rat. It was clearly not a rat. Rats don't cry like that, and they certainly don't have ghost hands. It's gotta be one of Carno's wives. But is there a way to find out which one? Every time I play the game, Adrienne just rations it to be a rat and that's the end of that.

If ti was one of his wives then the only one I can imagine it being is Leonora. Hortencia, Victoria and Marie are impossible, in all three cases the women were free and able to go about their business when the murder happened, none would still be there had they been locked up previously. It could be Regina, but I doubt is ability to get a woman of her obvious size from the cellar to the 1st floor to kill her, Leonora looks a much more slight woman to drag around.

There is another theory though that the cellar woman is someone else and pre-dates Carno. The theory goes that the demon is actually attached to the house and not the book directly, the book just acts as a conduit to allow it into the world and that at some point in the past the demon was free and captured only to be released by the book once more. Or it could be the demon was the soul of the torture victim (or Carno's daughter, her death could have been neglect rather than straight murder)

Hi,
if it is one of his wife's and probably it is so, then it Victoria. Let me explain:

Hortensia is killed in the greenhouse. Proof the letter you find in one the rooms telling us that she spents as much time as possible in the greenhouse. In the same letter she also says she suspects Carno to have killed Sofia, their child. The old newspaper articles that Lou gives say that the child was found drowned in the pond, the video you can see in chapter 5 suggest merely that it was Carno's hand who provoked the drowning.

Leonora, his third wife fell from the stairs and broke her neck; at least that is the official version as found in the newpaper articles. In chapter 5 we learn that her neck broke on the contraption you find in the trophees room.

Regina, his fourth wife -once again in the official version- choked on a steak. Chapter 5 shows us that it is Carno who chokes his wife on the contraption that is in the attic.

And Malcolm learns us that Carno killed Marie on the Throne Of Death.

That leaves us with one wife, namely Victoria his second wife. Officially - and I think you can find it in the newpaper cut telling about Regina's death - though I might be wrong for this - Carno divorced his two first wives and afterwards no one has ever heard of them again. How did he kill Victoria? In chapter 5 we see a movie where Carno slams his wife's head into a bottle. And in his evil humour Carno burries her in the wine cellar or at least we can assume this as he hides Hortensia's body in the greenhouse.

Why hide the corpses of his two first wives? Obviously their dead's could hardly be explained as accidents. They smelled murder all over.

I suppose this explains everything.
