The Wollcrafts' Creature

The Wollcrafts' Creature (Case # 30) is the thirtieth case of the game.

Case Background
The victim was a guide of the Grimsborough Museum and an animal rights activist named Claire Godwin, who died after being electrocuted in the Wollcrafts' garage laboratory. The killer was the victim's boyfriend, Percy Wollcraft.

When her dog, Elphaba, died, Fran Wollcraft (Percy's mother) was heartbroken since they had trained very hard for the annual Dog Pageant. Fran's husband, Victor Wollcraft, a respected scientist, couldn't watch his wife in such a state, so he dug up old theories on reanimation and decided to give it a shot. He tried to reconstruct Elphaba by using stolen bones and other cadavers' body parts.

Claire discovered about this, and as an animal rights activist, she found it disgusting and wrong, and threatened Percy that she will report the Wollcrafts' criminal endeavor to the police. Percy couldn't allow this to happen to his parents, and decided to kill Claire. He connected the victim into one of his fathers' experimental machines and then turned it on. The machine couldn't sustain the voltage and overheated, electrocuting Claire, who instantly died after being fried alive. Judge Hall made it clear that she will discuss the Wollcrafts' offenses some other day.

Trivia

 * This case is one of the many cases in which Chief Samuel King doesn't make an appearance in the beginning.
 * The Summoning and The Wollcrafts' Creature are the only cases in the Historical Center in which none of the suspects of Dog Eat Dog make an appearance. Curiosuly, Constance Bell appears as a suspect in both.
 * This case, The Secret Experiments (Case #21) and The Final Journey (Case #23) are the only cases which shows the flashback of the murder.
 * This is the only case which includes some suspects' family name in the title.
 * The Wollcrafts' Creature, Bomb Alert on Grimsborough, The Last Supper and Dog Eat Dog are the only cases in which the killer produced the murder weapon themselves. However, the murder weapon in The Wollcrafts' Creature was unique and only manufactured by the killer (bombs and poison are more conventional).
 * The Wollcrafts' Creature, Bomb Alert on Grimsborough, The Kiss of Death and The Secret Experiments are the only cases in which the killer murdered the victim so that they wouldn't be punished.
 * Starting from this case, the Additional Investigation reward of XP will change to a reward of an amount of coins. Presumably this is due to the fact that anyone who's reached this case will have unlocked everything in the avatar shop already.
