Yes, Angel Batista finds out that Dexter is alive at the end of Dexter: New Blood.


Dexter: Resurrection, created by Clyde Phillips, is the sequel to the original series Dexter and Dexter: New Blood. The show is set nearly a decade after the original series' finale and follows Dexter's disappearance. However, despite having his urges under control, he is forced back into his old habits when certain events occur in the town where he lives. Michael C. Hall will return to play Dexter Morgan in the series, which also stars Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, and several other actors.


Does Angel find out that Dexter is alive?


Yes, Angel Batista does find out that Dexter Morgan is alive at the end of Dexter: New Blood. In episode five of the same series, it is shown that Batista is now the Captain of Homicide of the Miami Metro Police Department, and he attends a conference in New York. The same conference is attended by Iron Lake Police Department Chief Angela Bishop, who also happens to be Dexter’s girlfriend at the time. Batista tells Bishop about Dexter and his son, Harrison, something that triggers Bishop and makes her suspicious of her boyfriend, eventually leading to her discovering who “Jim Lindsay” really is.


In the series finale of the show, Bishop contacts Batista, sends him a photo of her and Morgan together, which was dated a month prior, and that’s when Batista realizes that Dexter is alive. He leaves to go to Iron Lake, but his arrival in the town is never shown as the show ends before that.


Did Angel Batista know Dexter was a killer?


No, at the end of Dexter: New Blood, Angel Batista wasn’t sure if Dexter was the serial killer, although he knew that Dexter had killed after watching him kill Saxon in self-defense. However, when it comes to Dexter’s serial killer ways, Angel trusted Dexter completely, although after his disappearance at the end of the original series, Angel’s trust and belief waned.


He was leaning more towards his ex-wife and deceased Captain María LaGuerta’s views that Dexter was the Bay Harbor Butcher. That is shown when he picks up a file labelled "MARIA LAGUERTA" towards the end of Dexter: New Blood and rushes towards Iron Lake to see if Dexter is really alive.
