Forrest Sugarcrystal was a suspect during the murder investigation of maintenance technician Nick Kringle in O Deadly Night (Case #15 of World Edition).

Profile
Forrest is a 54-year-old CIA operative going undercover as a maintenance technician in COSMORUS. Around Christmas time, he took part in the festivities by dressing up as a Christmas elf. He wears a green and red elf costume complete with hat, bells, and a white collar covered in red glitter. It is known that Forrest ices skates, eats candy canes, and drinks mulled wine.

Role in Case(s)
Forrest became a suspect after the player and Jack Archer found a pop-up card of him with the victim. After they found it, Forrest showed up on the scene looking for the victim. He identified the victim as Nick Kringle, and their roles in COSMORUS as well as what they do around Christmas time. When the victim did not appear at The Snowed Inn for the party, he began to get worried and decided to look for him. Considering the inn was the last place the victim was Jack and the player went to there to look for more clues.

Forrest was interrogated again regarding an angry message he sent to the victim. He said the victim ended up dumping all the work for the Cristmas event on him. In the mean time, the victim was constantly getting drunk and sleeping too much to perform his seasonal duties. When Jack wondered if Forrest killed him because he was not performing his job as Santa well, Forrest replied saying he did not but he thought about it.

In the end, Forrest was found to be innocent after the team arrested Asal Hawaa for Nick's murder. However, the player and Marina Romanova had to speak with him again regarding the possibility Nick was betraying the CIA for SOMBRA. He confirmed that both he and Nick worked for the CIA, keeping COSMORUS under surveillance. However, he had trouble believing the victim betrayed the CIA, saying though he did not play by the book that did not make him a traitor. Though he pointed out the victim spent a lot of time by the lake watching the Northern Lights, thinking it could have been a meeting point. This prompted Marina and the player to investigate the lake for evidence of Nick's involvement with SOMBRA.
