The Lake's Bride

The Lake's Bride (Case #27) is the twenty-seventh case of the game. The victim was a woman named Mary Gray. She was found dead inside the trunk of a car pulled from the lake. The killer was a poet named Alexander Vladinsky.

Alexander had a mental problem and loved Mary. When Jones asked Alexander why he killed the woman he loved, Alexander replied with a strange answer. He said that love, passion and death were all similar and that murder was the highest form of desire. Since Alexander had a mental problem, judge Olivia Hall sentenced him to 30 years in jail, accompanied by a psychiatrist.
