Walter Fairbanks

Walter Fairbanks was the victim in One Wedding and a Funeral (Case #47).

Murder Details
Walter was found dead after crashing his plane on to way to his wedding party to marry his fiancé, Lola Vallez. After his body was found, it was sent to Nathan.

Nathan said that the crash's impact was so strong that Walter flew through the window. He also knew some information about Walter and said that he was a great pilot and that he never had a plane accident in his life. He said that because Walter was a famous pilot, he would never have flown the stunt plane if it wasn't safe. Like that, Nathan was able to say that the killer sabotaged Walter's plane at the last possible moment. Nathan also said that he was an amateur pilot himself and that he inspected the sabotaged plane. Even when knowing there was something wrong, he couldn't find it. But he said that the killer knew the plane inside and out, which confirmed that the killer had knowledge in planes.

Killer and Motives
The killer was Lola's brother, Esteban Vallez. Lola was giving money to Esteban to keep him afloat, but when she met Walter, he sort of opened her eyes regarding her brother and asked her to stop giving him money, which she did. Esteban was furious that he wasn't getting any more money and therefore decided to kill him. He said he wanted to protect her as Walter was known to "use" his female lovers just like toys and got rid of them after getting bored but the real underlying reason was just that Lola wasn't feeding his lazy self any more.
