Yeah but the show really isn't that much about solving a crime. If I remember correctly David Lynch didn't want it to be solved, at least not that early, and saw it more as a set-up to build something different.

It was a mystery show that was built on parodies of soap operas (hence some of the casting and the credits sequence among other things). With that in mind, definitely no “real” solving of the crime was intended. It’s meant to get weirder and weirder as we add more soap tropes but take them deadly serious. Genius execution

I feel like log lady really exemplifies your view of the show.

I heard that when the studios didn't see it that way and were planning on canceling it, he got pissed and then decided to end it the way he did.

Because you can see in the episodes before everything went sideways things were getting set up to be really expansive. You had the whole white lodge/black lodge thing, it was really starting to get its legs. And then they were like nope, show's over.
