Default Re: real?
Yes, both are possible, and either are okay. Even though you are not talking about a crime, you can use culprit, because the person responsible was responsible for a bad thing. I would probably use 'culprit' in this case, but its up to you.

EDIT: actually, culprit is used to describe someone who did it intentionally, so maybe not. Prior advice stands.

regards,
Jesse
