Linda Buttons

Linda Buttons was the killer of her husband, Elmer Buttons in After the Storm (Case #74, or Case #18 of Pacific Bay).

Role in Case(s)
Linda was found guilty of grand homicide after the killer's profile incriminated her as the one who committed the transgression.

Day by day Linda couldn't wait for Elmer to retire from his jazz career so that he would spend his time with Linda after winning his jazz award for a final time, but since Amy suspected Linda of fearing broken promises from Elmer, Linda opened up for the reason as to why she attacked Elmer with his saxophone and used a radio to play "After the Storm" while Linda was offing Elmer for good--Linda got sick of Elmer choosing music over her for three decades and because of Elmer's love for music she turned to a life of alcoholism forcing Elmer to seek rehabilitation for Linda's drinking. Amy and the player didn't hesitate to ship Linda to trial.

In court, Linda told Judge Dante that Elmer was married to jazz music more than he was married to her so she committed the graphic murder and transformed his body parts to musical notes in Jazz Town's tram system. Linda didn't like rehab, so she offed Elmer like the aforementioned. Judge Dante told Linda that his wife would be mad if he loved homicide trials more than her but knew his personal life came first before trials. Judge Dante said that her husband may be correct about the rehabilitation issue Linda had and for killing her husband and the loss of a respected jazz musician, the court's decision was a 20-year jail sentence for Linda.
