While Cohle reviews the paperwork about Reggie Ledoux in the car, the camera pans down through the details of several charges. Where the info is labeling the county where the crimes occurred, known as a "parish" in Louisiana, the county/ parish name Vermilion is misspelled with an extra "L" as "Vermillion".
A spelling mistake does not constitute a Goof, as people often misspell words.

Toward the end of Hart and Colhe interviewing Lange, Lange is sitting, and as he straightens up, the top of his head disappears. It is an obvious CG shot, and he put his head out of the frame.
When the detectives review Ledoux's paperwork in their car, his SSN has an extra digit. [Like the use of "555" for phone numbers, this done to avoid inadvertently using someone's actual SSN.]
When Marty goes to get into the elevator after arguing with Lisa, there's a guy getting in right behind him. In the next shot, he is somehow in front of Marty and at the back of the elevator.
The exotic dancer Martin Hart pursues to the rave is driving a B4-series Subaru Outback station wagon. That body style wasn't available in the United States until 1999 (model year 2000), though the crime Hart and his partner are investigating took place in 1995.
Detective Rust Cohle uses Great Value brand flour to replace cocaine he steals from the evidence locker. This action takes place in 1995, but the logo on the bag was introduced after summer 2009.
When Cohle enters the members area of the The Iron Crusaders' biker club, the song "A History of Bad Men" by The Melvins is playing. The song is from their album, A Senile Animal, first released in 2006.
