Troubled Waters

Troubled Waters (Case #43) is the forty-third case of the game.

Case Background
Martha Price welcomed the team to her yacht party upon their arrival. Jones started fishing but when he fished a victim named Andrew Ashworth out of the ocean, a murder investigation ensued. The killer was a young woman named Isabella Fairchild.

Jones was surprised when the player commenced an arrest on Isabella, but Isabella told the team that she will not argue or deny that she slew Andrew. Isabella kept on bumping into Andrew at charities and he made fun out of and flirted with Isabella every chance he saw her. Isabella gave in to Andrew after he made enough sexual advances on her, that she couldn't resist, in turn both Andrew and Isabella started their relationship. Both Andrew and Isabella were regulars at Jezabela's Dungeon, but then outside of the club, Andrew wanted to control Isabella's life in every aspect (such as what she's permitted to eat); she dumped him, but he still wouldn't let go. She decided to see him one last time and that same night, she stole some mead away from Archibald Ashworth's radar, and reported back to the yacht. Isabella lured him into jumping into the water as part of their "game", but then she turned on the engines of the boat and drove over him.

In court, Isabella admitted to the crime but also ranted that her father said people shouldn't rely on others to fix their problems, which was the driving force behind her killing Andrew. While the Judge sentenced Isabella to 12 years in jail (parole eligibility in 6 years), the Judge was saddened that she had to sentence a young woman of such good upbringing due to Isabella resorting to heinous actions to make her voice heard.

Trivia

 * This case and Into the Vipers' Nest (Case #11) are the only cases in which you have to analyze something for all the suspects that need help in Additional Investigation.
 * This case could be heavily influenced by the death of English singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl, in which she was killed when a speedboat accidentally drove over her in her boat.
