SPOILERS ABOUND
Instead of the green paint leading the detectives to Childress, they instead follow a trail of missing documents and family birth records that hint at a connection between long-established families in Louisiana. Carcosa is on a property that pops up in enough records to point them in that direction.
Cohle and Hart not only find Childress in Carcosa, but undeniable proof that the cult is a vast conspiracy with ties to the highest levels of political office all along the Gulf. They are an ancient pagan cult that thrived in secret following the Civil War. Childress kills both of the detectives, continuing the pessimistic view of humanity that the show had already followed. Everything Rust & Cohle accomplished was for naught: the cult survived, Childress claimed 3 more victims, and the murders continue. The show is called True Detective, not True Justice.
