Ana Herdez

Ana Herdez was one of the suspects during the murder investigation of a troubled teen named Cal Stark in Road to Nowhere (Case #95, or Case #39 of Pacific Bay).

Profile
Ana is a 40-year old highway trooper and a native of Rhine Canyon. She wears a silver highway trooper star at the left side of her standard highway trooper uniform, wears sunglasses, and a trooper hat on top of her medium-length black hair. Ana is known to drive a pickup truck.

Role in Case(s)
Ana would be flagged as a suspect after Frank Knight and the player found her mini-revolver at the Stark Farm. Hannah Choi had to confirm Ana's ownership of the mini-revolver before Frank and the player called her in to questioning. Ana was surprised that Frank and the player found her mini-revolver while she checked up on Cal during her trip to the Stark Farm. Ana's mission was to keep the peace in Rhine Canyon, which included checking up on Cal day after day in which Frank regrettably told the highway trooper Cal was murdered. Ana saw Cal's petty crimes in which all she saw on these troublemakers that things don't end well with children like Cal.

Ana would get into a catfight with Chief Marquez after she was caught by the top police official attempting to hijack Cal's murder investigation case, believing that she has authority over Frank and the player. Ana told Chief Marquez that she isn't her commanding officer in which Chief Marquez told Ana to stand down to avoid losing her job as a highway trooper. Frank was surprised about how Ana addressed Chief Marquez in which the Chief attended the Pacific Bay Police Academy together, in which both Chief Marquez and Ana had different views of the law and personalities which allowed the Chief to escalate to the rank of Chief of Police in a short amount of time. Chief Marquez pleaded with Frank and the player to make a second trip to the Rhine Canyon Vista and to have the player accommodate her in Ana's second conversation after the trip to the vista.

The player didn't mind Chief Marquez interrogating Ana in which a catfight between the top official and the highway trooper would ensue. Ana chastised Chief Marquez for allowing the killer to slip through her fingers in which Chief Marquez countered that the highway trooper had no knowledge of the murder until she became a suspect in the murder investigation. Ana knew the troubled teen more than Chief Marquez did as she blamed Cal for the lack of respect she experienced. Chief Marquez told Ana to stay put just in case it was Ana who killed Cal.

Ana was found innocent at the close of the case. In the hours following the case's closure, Bubba Wyatt was found guilty of ecstacy handling. Chief Marquez had to do something to calm Ana down, in which Frank and the player did. The Chief was not pleased about Ana since Ana knew Chief Marquez as a Rhine Canyon native not to mention the Chief wanting to keep her private life out of public reach.
