For those who don't know, The Yellow King comes from a short story collection called "The King in Yellow" by Robert Chambers. There's a play in the stories called "The King in Yellow", the second act of which reveals truths about the universe that drives anyone who reads it or sees it performed insane.
Rust isn't the killer. I think he gets so deep into the case that it makes him crazy. He then goes off the grid to investigate it himself knowing that no one would actually let him go after a fucking Cthulhu cult full of rich and powerful old white guys. He kills Tuttle in 2010 and thinks it's over, then the Lake Charles murder happens. "Nothing is ever solved."
Someone on Reddit also pointed out all of the "filed in error" messages when Rust was looking up cases of dead girls on the computer. They weren't actually filed in error, they're just poor girls that no one gives a shit about killed by the cult, and someone inside is covering it up. That would tie in with the guy being interrogated in 2002 saying there are murders no one knows about. The Marie Fontenot report was also "filed in error."

They also keep saying "Carcosa" which is from that book. And the "black stars" are related somehow.
Agree with all of this, I wanna know what's in that storage shed

It's from the play:
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Carcosa is a fictional ancient city that was cursed and ended up being destroyed or lost somehow. A lot of writers have used it apparently. In "The King in Yellow", the king goes there when he's exiled. I'm struggling to see the deeper meaning to it.
If he's investigating himself, probably evidence. I read a theory saying that Rust is using the interview to determine whether or not he can/should help the detectives (Marty's line, "If you talked to Rust, you weren't getting a read on him. He was getting a read on you."). That might explain the personality difference, he's been fucking with them the entire time to see if they ask the right questions. After seeing how little they have on the Lake Charles case he decides that they're not worth it, then when they start hinting that he's the killer he thinks they may be a part of the cover-up (he asks them how they kept the case out of the paper and if they have "friends in high places", then he calls them "company men"). Another interesting thing about the Rust interview is that him drinking makes anything he tells them inadmissible.

This has catapulted up to the top of my favorite running TV shows. Very thoughtful and I have never been a fan of Matthew McConaughey, but he is phenomenal in this. I may need to watch Mud and Dallas Buyer's Club based on his performance in this series.

The show is certainly interesting enough, but it has the potential to seriously flop in the last 3 episodes. We'll see.
Rust is a pretty fucked up character with a hazy past. No one seems to really know much about him other than what he tells them, which isn't always the truth. I'm not even sure he knows himself that well. Multiple personality disorder?
