Kicking off the critically acclaimed HBO crime epic that is True Detective with one hell of a mystery, fans were instantly captivated by the search to discover precisely who was the murderer known as The Yellow King.

Well, if you were looking hard enough, Nic Pizzolatto and the gang actually spelled out exactly who this murderous entity was all along pretty early on in the series. As Episode 3's The Locked Room reveals during the scene showcasing detectives Rust and Marty visiting a caretaker by the name of Errol Childress, you can spot a sign on show for a few moments that verbally foreshadows his true nature.

Within the letters are the eye-catching words of "NOTICE KING", telling their audience in no uncertain terms that The Yellow King is there to be noticed in this very moment as Errol moves into frame. Sure enough, Childress is eventually confirmed to be the killer by the end of the season.

You'll likely never look at a humble high school message board the same way ever again.
