At the End of the Rope

At the End of the Rope (Case #35) is the thirty-fifth case of the game. The victim was a Grimsborough University student named Lisa Edwards, who was found hanging from a noose in the university's library. The killer was Lisa's best friend, Penelope Rivera.

Penelope wanted to scare Lisa so that she could comfort her. She started sending the victim bullying messages on Friendnet anonymously, but unfortunately for Penelope, it didn't work since Lisa never talked to her about the messages and began spending all her time by herself or with her friend, Tess Goodwin or seeing anti-bullying with Caroline Fitzgerald. Then one day, Lisa asked Penelope to come to the university's library. Penelope went there happily, thinking that her best friend would finally get even closer to her. When she went there, Lisa was furious and told her that she knew she was one who was harrassing her online, and that she hated her now. Lisa said many more things and kept shouting at Penelope, who got enraged and pushed the victim who was then on the floor, unconsious. Penelope then took a rope from under the desk and hanged Lisa till death.
