Bayou Blood

Bayou Blood is the sixty-second case (or Case #6 in Pacific Bay) in the game and is the first case in the Bayou Bleu district.

Case Background
The victim was an Ocean Shore native named Lee Dupree, who was found gruesomely skewered against the tree in the swamps next to Bayou Bleu's residential district. The killer was a Gumbo Jumbo waitress named Shawna Knox.

When Frank and the player had enough evidence to hold Shawna accountable for the gruesome murder, Shawna claimed she had to kill Lee in an act of self-defense because according to Shawna, Lee was a trouble child and wanted to mock someone, so he chose to pick on Shawna. Shawna didn't like Lee's advances as she felt it was an act of sexual harassment, so she had to wait until she was near a tree at the swamp to off Lee out of her way forever.

Shawna submitted a plea of guilt for manslaughter in spite of being brought before the Honorable Dante for first-degree murder charges but the Honorable Dante wanted to know as to why Shawna needed those BBQ Skewers with her, as he firmly believed self-defense can be achieved without violence. Shawna mentioned Lee's "trouble-child" premise when he started working at the Gumbo Jumbo, but added that he chose not to just bully Shawna, but wanted to sexually harass Shawna without any exceptions, as he felt he had the right to dominate Shawna by all means possible. Shawna told the Honorable Dante the purpose of her to have those BBQ Skewers with her was to be ready for Lee's trap at anytime, so when Lee attempted to sexually harass Shawna, she let Lee have it at the heart, and then pinned Lee with two more on each of his shoulders so it would look similar to a voodoo doll she found at Bill Farnham's Voodoo Shop, in which after she sent the voodoo doll to the Pacific Bay Police Force so that she would shift the blame to Bill for the murder--a feat in which didn't helped Shawna at all.

The Honorable Dante accepted Shawna's plea of guilt for the manslaughter, alas he had to institutionalize Shawna to an institution for violent minors, in which the Honorable Dante claims will help Shawna build better coping strategies and a new life through the years to come, since Shawna was only 17 years of age and the crime's severity didn't warrant any adult-level punishments.

Throughout the case, Frank demonstrated no respect to his fellow lab workers, specifically Roxie Sparks and Russell Crane. Yann Toussaint demonstrated his willingness to try out Gumbo in lieu of celebrating his anniversary with his wife, Jessica Toussaint, and Chief Marquez mentions Amy Young having respect for the player as opposed to Frank.
