A new Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that the limo crash will result in the murder of Anthony being exposed and his body being discovered.

Anthony Fox was murdered by his daughter last month, with several villagers also involved in the cover-up.

Upcoming scenes will see a huge crash stunt involving two limousines. One of the limos will end up in a frozen lake and not everyone will survive.

The new fan theory suggests Leyla will die in the crash and when recovering her body, they’ll also find Anthony’s body.

Anthony is murdered in Emmerdale

Last month, Emmerdale teased a whodunnit for Anthony’s murder. It was originally thought that Aaron Dingle committed the crime.

Aaron gave Anthony a brutal beating at Caleb’s depot after discovering he had abused Ruby when she was a child. Aaron fled the scene and when he later returned, Anthony was dead.

Aaron’s boyfriend John Sugden then took control of the situation. He disposed of the body and cleaned up the crime scene.

Not being able to cope with the guilt, Aaron confessed to Ruby. However, she shocked him when she revealed: “You didn’t kill him – I did.”

Ruby Fox-Miligan confided in Caleb, with Cain and Chas also being brought in on the secret.

It’s not known where John disposed of the body, but with so many people in the know, it’s surely only a matter of time before the truth is revealed.

Fan theory predicts limo crash will expose Anthony murder

Emmerdale recently aired five flashforward scenes hinting at what was to come in 2025. One of those scenes showed a mystery person disposing of a body in the river.

Now a new fan theory believes that it was John disposing of Anthony and that the upcoming limo crash will result in the body being discovered.

Writing on Reddit, a fan said: “Been paying attention to certain characters lines this week to spot foreshadowing. Leyla had an interesting one about ‘do you think I should go in the limo too?’ It’s 100% Leyla under the ice. However when recovering her body, they also find Anthony’s body. Because who would think to look under the ice.”

Another fan agreed, writing: “100% , they’ll be looking for whatever body is missing from the limo crash and find his body too.”

On X, a third fan said: “Looking forward to seeing the car go in to the lake that results in the hand at the window. I’m wondering if Anthony’s body might also be in that lake? We don’t after all know where his body is!”
