I don't think that Ian's killer is  Noel. Why keep his killer a secret for three seasons (=3 years!) and then make his killer some random guy who pops up in every season premiere and (mid) finale and then disappears in a black hole for the remaing  ~ 20  epsodes? Since they kept his killer a secret for such a long time, I think that it will be a shockling revelation... I think (or I hope at least) that we will be like "Wow, I didn't see that coming". So maybe Jenna, Pastor Ted, Ali's mom, Spencer's dad, Wilden, CeCe...

I really hope that Ian's murder case will be a big one and will have an influence for season 5. It would be disappointing if they reveal xyz as Ian's murderer after three years, but it will be forgotten and will have zero impact for the further storyline. Also I hope that whoever killed Ian, killed him because he wanted him gone forever and not (only) because he wanted to protect Spencer. It would be ultra boing (but typical PLL) if it will be like this "I didn't want to kill Ian. I just didn't want him to kill Spencer. It was help in need".
