The Reaper and the Geek

The Reaper and the Geek (Case #37) is the thirty-seventh case of the game. The victim was a Cosplayer named Joe Turner. He was found stabbed to death at the sci-fi festival's entrance statue. The killer was Peri Foreman, the festival organizer.

According to Peri, the murder was an accident and she didn't mean to kill Joe. She had just asked Joe to come over to ask him to behave but the victim laughed it off. This made Peri slap Joe and the two started fighting. Joe nearly pushed Peri over the rail, but she managed to turn him around, causing the victim to fall down and stab to death by the spike carried by the Ripper Jade statue.

Trivia

 * This case is one of the many cases in which Chief Samuel King doesn't make an appearance at the beginning.
 * This case, The Kiss of Death and The Lake's Bride are the only cases in which the murder weapon is an action (the victim was pushed to death in this case).
 * In some parts of the case, Alex Turner will help the player and not David Jones, this is due to Alex having a mild to moderate interest in the Cosplay festival.
 * This is one of the many cases that doesn't require stars to go to Additional Investigation.
