Joe Turner

Joe Turner was a Cosplayer and a science fiction fan, who had neck length wavy brown hair and wore dark red glasses. Before his deaht, he was seen wearing a red Star Trek t-shirt with an upside down triangle and a black collar. He was found impaled on a Ripper Jade statue at the Grimsborough Sci-fi Festival in The Reaper and the Geek (Case #37).

Murder Details
Joe was found impaled on the entrance statue (featuring Ripper Jade) at the festival. His body had been pushed from the upper platforms of the festival and his chest was ripped through by the blade in the Ripper Jade statue. His body was seen by all of the visitors to the festival until the police finally arrived to investigate the scene. They removed Joe's body and handed it to the coroner, Nathan Pandit.

Upon autopsy, Nathan discovered that Joe had been pushed from a great height and died immediately when the spike pierced his heart.

Killer and Motives
The killer was the organiser and the Sci-Fi Festival, Peri Foreman. Peri had been the organiser of several festivals where Joe had been present and his behaviour had been bad. So, to make sure everything would go fine, Peri took him to the upper staging and told him that he must behave in this festival so not to embarass her. Joe laughed at her face, which made Peri angry and slap Joe on the face. The two then started to fight. Joe grabbed Peri and attempted to shove her off the rail, but somehow, Peri managed to turn Joe around and he accidently fell of the rail, causing him to be stabbed to death by the spike carried by the Ripper Jade statue. Peri was terrified of what she did, and was going to call the police and turn herself in. However, she didn't want her festival to be closed so early, so she agreed that she would turn herself in after the festival.
