Leap of Death

Leap of Death is the (Case #81, or Case #25 in Pacific Bay) is the twenty-fifth case in Pacific Bay, the first case in the White Peaks district, and the eighty-first case in the game.

Case Background
Previously on Criminal Case, Chief Marquez opted to transfer the player to Pacific Bay's famous vacation spot, White Peaks, where increasing crime rates escalated like a plague. Being the home of the Youngs, Chief Marquez gave Amy permission to take the player to the Frosty Cup for the player to experience the wintry scenes of White Peaks.

Amy's enjoyment of the Frosty Cup (Amy dropped her ice cream in shock) was ruined when a respected ski-jumper named Anjulie Cruz was sliced in half as she jumped of the ramp. After watching the premeditated murder, the player rushed Anjulie to Roxie Sparks, only to be informed that the premeditated murder occurred due to a cutter wire installed in the ramp with Anjulie in mind. Amy struggled to keep her personal feelings aside as she was forced to interrogate her ex-sweetheart, Bobby Prince during the investigation. International Skiing Association president Sven Blattner opted to ban women from skiing following Anjulie's death, but the investigation proved Sven liable for the premeditated murder of the respective female ski-jumper.

Amy informed Sven about the apparatus he used to seal Anjulie's fate, much to Amy's beliefs of females having an equal chance for a medal in the Frosty Cup. Sven was a sexist and hated the idea of women being in ski jumping as he recalled during his time ski jumping and the Frosty Cup were serious sports for men only before he was forced to include a women's segment of the sporting event. Sven competed in the Frosty Cup when he was younger but failed to garnish a medal and as such allowing women to land a medal in the Frosty Cup would be out of the question on his watch. Amy and the player turned Sven to face trial before Judge Dante.

Sven told the court that winter sports were meant for males for centuries as a true test of heroism but stood tall with his two feet during his testimony. Sven hated the fact he had to make ski ramps safer to accommodate women in which he believed would be a waste in the ISA's budget, which caused Sven to believe that there's no more glory in winter sports. What drove Sven to murder was that Anjulie threatened to sue the ISA for alleged sexism unless he allowed women in the Frosty Cup, but Judge Dante told Sven that gender discrimination doesn't pay under any circumstances. Sven was sentenced to 25 years in jail for the premeditated murder of Anjulie and promoting sexism in winter sports.

Chief Marquez wanted Amy and the player to check up on Sharon White after she received reports of an evil force called The Night Walker harassing her in all corners and the player had to do everything to calm Sharon down. Meanwhile, Amy introduced the player to her brother Duncan who served as a police officer in Pacific Bay but was forced to step down after he was confined in a wheelchair. Although Amy was unable to give the player a proper introduction to her home district, she managed to calm Sharon down.
