Fabrizio Gallardo

Fabrizio Gallardo was the victim in The Ship of Dreams (Case #93, or Case #37 of Pacific Bay).

Profile
Fabrizio was an artist of blue-collar standing.

Murder Details
Fabrizio was found dead, floating in a pool with a distress flare shoved inside his right eye. The killer was reckless in leaving the murder weapon (a flare gun) next to the corpse as Frank Knight and the player found the gun used to fire distress flares chambered for them. This registered the flare gun as the murder weapon although the player couldn't help but notice a blackish substance on the hilt of the flare gun.

The player took the corpse to Roxie Sparks for autopsy but at the self-same instant, took samples of black grains to Yann Toussaint for physical analysis. While Frank and the player waited for Roxie to finish her task, Yann was able to determine that the killer ate caviar before grabbing the flare gun to kill Fabrizio. Moreso the player had to forensically dust an identification badge to reveal the victim being Fabrizio prior to Roxie's autopsy and Yann's analysis of the black substance.

Roxie was able to determine that the distress flare punctured and melted Fabrizio's eyeball, in which the heat of the flare reached his brain, gradually killing him. Roxie couldn't help but notice the amount of germs placed on Fabrizio. It seems that although Fabrizio was healthy at the time of his death, the killer sneezed on him, in which Frank was wise to determine that the killer sustained a cold.

Killer and Motives
The killer turned out to be a Utopian member and an actress named Lizzie Dion. Frank can't believe that someone who he perceived as sweet would have a thirst for blood.

Lizzie thought the player made a false arrest, but after Frank stated out the killer's trail (not to mention Frank presenting the flare gun to Lizzie), she admitted to grand homicide, but she only committed the crime in revenge for Fabrizio impregnating her prior to the events of this case. Frank can't believe a love affair with Fabrizio got Lizzie pregnant, in which Lizzie didn't like the amount of time Fabrizio had to spend to buy plane tickets to Florence, Italy, in which Lizzie regretted for pretending that she could get away with Fabrizio in the first place. When Lizzie found out she was impregnated by Fabrizio, she had to do something to save her career and her engagement to Tyler, who was her fiancé. Frank hated the revelation of a pregnant woman killing a man to preserve her values not to mention that her child will become an orphan, but the player shipped the actress to trial nonetheless.

In court, Lizzie told Judge Dante that her career in Ivywood was far more important than a getaway to Italy, but the Judge thought the third class tickets were a driving force in the murder in which Lizzie made clear that she had higher standards in spite of Fabrizio impressing her with tickets to Italy. The motive may be deceiving to Frank, the player, and Judge Dante, but the decision was a 20-year jail sentence for Lizzie.
