I think he was referring to Wakefield himself when he said the quote about "1/3".

WHo wouldn't know who wakefield is when this whole series is based around wakefield?

Henry is having his wedding on the island and invites Abby
-Henry notes how Sheriff reacted to JD suggesting they dig up Wakefield's grave
-Henry said nothing to the Sheriff about JD and the raccoon, but the truth came out at a bad time.
-Henry called the guests back to help find Madison, keepin them off the boat.
-Henry led the search team that found Richard, and told Abby to answer the phone.
-Henry helped jump-start the generator, keeping them more comfortable in the Candlewick.
-Henry went alone to get Sully, Beth, Cal and Chloe back from the marina, and went alone on the way back to the Candlewick from the clinic
-Henry defended Abby to Shane, causing a scene but ensuring she knew she had support, just as Beth was nabbed.
-Henry helped search the tunnels, splitting off in a way that ensured that Abby would be the one to find Madison
-Henry asks Jimmy if he can take them on his boat
-Henry is the one who keeps saying they shouldn't jump to conclusions about Abby's dad, and turns out to be right
-Henry takes Danny (and both their guns) after Abby, and keeps her from chasing Wakefield
-Henry helps Abby cut the Sheriff down, load him into truck
-Henry is one who suggests they leave church (good call, but if Cal and Sully hadn't showed up it would also have had them all facing away from Chloe anyways)
-Henry organizes search efforts for Chloe, splitting the group to (ineffectually, but logically) cut off Wakefield's possible exits
-Henry tells Cal, who is injured, to go get Chloe while he and Abby chase Wakefield. They end up in the wrong area and can only watch as Wakefied kills Cal and Chloe commits suicide.
- gives emotional support to Trish, Abby, and Danny, risks his own safety but is protective of others, doesn't panic...

..and is the most trusted person in the entire group. Seriously, he's Abby's best friend, the best friend of both of the surviving groomsmen, and Trish's fiance. He's Jimmy's childhood friend and Jimmy trusts Abby's judgement, Shea's sister's fiance, and Madison's almost-uncle. He's also acted as the leader for most of the show without anyone but JD or Shane raising a word of protest.

- is currently not suspected of so much as petty theft by a single character
- everyone would hesitate to shoot him. As in for days, not moments.
- is very intelligent, in good shape, and is a good shot
- spent his summers on the island so he knows it quite well, knows a fair bit about mechanics and boating

Good mysteries tend to have a centrally developed character as the killer. I've been an Agatha Christie fan for years, and a large majority of her stories end in this way. No character has as much depth as Henry that make sense as a plausible killer, and that fit together so well. Can anyone else think of any other scenario that makes any sense, both from a storyline perspective, and a "when do the writers reveal things" perspective? (Which to me eliminates Jimmy from suspicion)

The scorned boyfriend who has had his heart broken and would therefore identify with wakefield. Jimmys story writes itself if they wanted to. If the whole purpose was to bring abby back to jimmy and make jimmy the hero by "saving the day" that would work. It would also explain why the killer appears to want uncle martys money so much. Jimmy the poor fisherman needs the money to run away with his one true love obvo.
