Beautiful No More

Beautiful No More is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the eighth case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Industrial Area, a district based in Grimsborough.

Plot
Outside a diner the corpse of a young woman was found by the Grimsborough PD. She was later identified as Trixie Velvet (real name Patricia Mills), a stripper at Tony Marconi's Blue Flamingo nightclub. The killer was eventually incriminated to be Alice August, a barmaid of the club, although she attempted to frame Colin Stokes to get away with the murder.

Alice stated to the police that she loved Trixie and wrote her letters anonymously – letters which Trixie would read several times, believing that the writer was a man. The two finally met each other behind Joe's Diner one night, after Alice sent Trixie a note asking her to meet her there. Trixie was surprised as well as shocked to learn that her admirer wasn't a man, causing her to laugh hysterically, which enraged Alice to the fullest. Not being able to control her rage, Alice grabbed a hammer, using which she relentlessly hit Trixie over the head until the victim finally died.

Alice was later sentenced to 20 years in jail (with a chance for parole in 10 years) for the murder of Trixie Velvet.
