Suspicious when there are no leads to their location and inspired by his previous investigation with Smith, Bannerman checks at the Camber house and discovers Donna and Tad. In Cujo, Bannerman helps organize the search for Donna and Tad Trenton, who are currently missing, and unbeknownst to anyone, trapped at the Camber house by the titular rabid Saint Bernard. The two men corner Dodd in his house, where he commits suicide. Bannerman is horrified to learn the Strangler is, in reality, Deputy Frank Dodd, whom he viewed as a surrogate son.

The works in which Castle Rock appears place the town in the fictional "Castle County", which also includes such fictional towns as Castle Lake and Castle View. A map on King's official website places Castle Rock in Oxford County, in the vicinity of Woodstock. This region could include real places such as Durham, Lisbon, Danville, Auburn, Lewiston, Bridgton, and maybe even Sabattus.

"Weeds", the 1976 short story on which "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" was based, was set in New Hampshire. In the anthology film Creepshow (1982), written by King, a sign at the end of " The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" puts Portland at 37 miles, and Boston at 188 miles. In Needful Things, Castle Rock is placed 18 miles southwest of South Paris. This story, according to King, serves as an epilogue to Needful Things. However, the town later served as the setting for the short story " It Grows on You", published in King's 1993 collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes. According to the book cover, Needful Things was "The Last Castle Rock Story". The population of Castle Rock was 1,280 by 1959 and around 1,500 in Needful Things.
