Trivia

 * The 5th crime scene of this case is called "Pew" while its bonus is called "Benches' Bonus." Perhaps it was just a mistake by the makers of the game, or maybe they did it on purpose since "pews" can also be called "benches".
 * This case is one of the many cases in which Chief Samuel King doesn't make an appearance at the beginning.
