NOTE: this is a cleaner, more precise version to the original theory about Michelle I posted 4 months ago. If this looks like a script, its because it is. Happy Reading!







Yes, I know I know, I haven’t made a single real theory video on this channel yet, even though my channel is called the cc theorists…. But all that changes, today!

*queue in intro*

Hello internet! Welcome to Criminal Case Theory, setting things straight, one fact at a time.

And Here’s a fact for ya: I love criminal case, to death! It’s by far my favorite game out there, and I don’t think many games can get so highly into detail as this one does. I mean, seriously! You’ve got undercover Agents, sexual relationships, and, best of all, underaged hackers crying about people 3 times younger than them. But really tho, why is that the only scene where Elliot even shows physical emotion about another person? Maybe those 2 had more than just that associate status.

But that my friends is a theory for another day.

Nope, today's theory has to do with a sombra lawyer gone good. Michelle Zuria. I really liked this character a lot, a character turning to the bright side after the other one turned to the dark side, what an ironic case of arresting your own. But this character hit everyone in the feels when it turns out she ended up getting murdered in case 48 of the game. Crushed to death by a bell.

You could have done something more sadistic or more your style, like a-a…..

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Spinning wheel of death!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Really Kian, a spinning wheel of death? That’s the best you could come up with? Ugh, no wonder I don’t have any friends…

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anyways, after this happened, it got me thinking: would pretty simple really just end a character like that? Is that the finale to this Fan Favorite? Well I’ve done the research, and, according to my data, It’s not.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now when ensuring this theory, there were a lot of things to consider here: <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Let’s start with the weight difference.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The weight difference
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The positioning of her body
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The positioning of the bell
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The response time

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">According to the criminal case wiki, which at this point I’m still surprised half of them still like me, Michelle weighs in at about 130 pounds, which (say in sassy girl voice) is kinda fat, just sayin. Now seeing I can’t go to the crime scene to see how much the bell weighs for myself, I’m gonna go on a limb and say because of the random crack at the front of the bell is a reference to the liberty bell which is currently in Philly, PA. And, get ready for this:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">That bell weighs 2080 pounds. Wow! I think that is more than enough to kill a human being if under it from the height it was hung. Well that would be, if it weren’t for the next point:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Positioning of Michelle’s body.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now Michelle is shown under the bell, her legs folded in this position and her arm over her chest. But one thing we have to figure out here is where michelle’s legs are. Most people actually think Her legs were cut off by the bell. That can’t be true, because if they were they would extend outward and would be visibly outside of the bell. Because they aren’t, my guess is that her legs actually fold back behind her, just unseen when picking up the body. Which is a HUGE relief for this theory because if her legs had been severed by the bell, well this theory would have been busted. She would have almost 100% died in that situation. Then there are 1- well, 2, more things to consider here. And, yes, I am talking about her breasts. No, I’m not perving on michelle, the buildup of extra skin could be a helpful factor to make sure michelle’s heart and ribcage aren’t completely crushed. Also, her arm being in that exact place actually proves that she couldn’t have been crushed to death, because if she was, it most likely would have cut right through michelle’s arm, and the rest of her body. But this is where a lot of you are probably looking at your screens right now thinking: “But Kian, what about all the blood over michelle’s clothes and on the ground?” Well this is where I am go to add a new rule into play: Developer effect. “What’s that?”Let me explain:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Developer effect is when an unnecessary attribute is added into the game only for the purpose to prove something in that case is true. Confused? Let me dial it down for you. Whenever something happens in the game, but you don’t believe it really happened, the developers may add a keen detail to ensure you that it really happened. For example, when Asal (Who I can’t believe we didn’t see in case 56) shot nick kringle, the developers added him being frozen only to show the fact that something cold killed him. Oh yea, the bullet killed him too. (Insert roast here) Matter of the point, he didn’t need to be in a block of ice for Asal to have killed him. This is what I think the developers did to make you think Michelle died. The way she was, she didn’t have any open wounds so unless it was something unseen, or it was just that time of the month again…….. at age 45 (which is another thing I didn’t get cuz she looks like she’s in her 20’s) this is a clear sign of developer effect. Which leads me onto the 3rd point:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The position of the bell.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">As you can see here, most of the bell isn’t even on the ground. It’s only about the bottom half of the bell that made contact with the concrete. Which is a huge factor, meaning that most of the weight was actually on the floor than it was on Michelle. Once again adding to the fact that she couldn’t have been crushed by the bell. Which makes me think that michelle wasn't dead when she was under the bell, she was just knocked out unconscious.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now onto the final point: the amount of time for response.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">If Michelle were sitting there for over an hour or so, she may have even woken up just realizing she’s just chillin in a bell. But the response time is immediate. Quote:

My ears are still ringing!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Carmen replies:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Carmen: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> It came from that old bell tower over there!, let's see what's going on! <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">This shows that almost IMMEDIATELY the other agents were onto the case, Michelle unconscious, Carmen thinking she isn’t breathing because the developers sprayed a little ketchup on her and yelled action then threw a bell over her to make her dead for a sec or two. This shows that everything, the positioning of the bell, the weight difference, her positioning, and the response time proves that Michelle is 100% still alive!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now there is one huuuuuuge question that are on some of your minds: If Michelle is alive, where is she? (insert batdad meme)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ok, its obviously not that simple. There is no source of where she could be…. Accept there is. From Chief Ripley, and I quote:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I've notified Michelle's family of her death. Her body will be taken back to the US to be buried

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Theory….. Busted.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Or, is it?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">While, yes, this is where most things would draw the line. But here’s a question for ya: Why the US, and not Singapore? Were, most likely, Her family would be. What if I said there is one person, one source, who changes this entire story around: Grace.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d5d4d4;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You see, if anybody were to have blood on their hands and If michelle really was dead, Grace would be the one with bloody hands. By opening her for clues, she would KILL her in the process. But, her being a professional, I think she might be able to tell the difference between unconsciousness and DEATH. That being said, this is where we kinda have to rely on Grace here. Grace was sent the body, realized michelle wasn’t dead, and kept it hidden. Why? To make sure Sombra’s trap worked, in their perspective. As long as they see michelle carried away in a body bag, they would be satisfied. They think they won. With Grace either giving Michelle a one way ticket to the US as a secret or putting her in maybe a safehouse so no one could hurt her there, Michelle would be secure. But, in short, there is such a huge opportunity for Michelle to be alive. With the evidence of the bell not crushing her, to the response time, to even Grace making sure she keeps living, it could be CERTAIN that Michelle Zuria still lives among us.
