The Secret Experiments

The Secret Experiments (Case #21) is the twenty-first case of the game and the last in the Financial Center. The victim was a journalist, Rachel Priest, who was found melting in a vat of acid with her skull smashed and separated from her body. The killer was the CEO of Greene's Stock Trading company, Alden Greene.

Rachel had found out that Army General James Marsh was trying to develop a super soldier serum in the army which made the bones of a man grow excessively and turned them into a war machine (for example, Drake Ribbs), but the army had ordered James to stop when they heard about his dangerous human test trials. However, James secretly and illegally continued with the funding of Alden's company, Greene PharmaCorp.

Towards the end of this case, James was found guilty of accompanying Alden in the murder of Rachel. When Alden was arrested, he explained to the team that Rachel had come to the secret lab where he and James were. There, Rachel told them that she knew about the illegal super serum and that she would expose their secret plan. General Marsh told Alden to kill Rachel and Alden took a syringe and injected the super serum into the victim's body. Since the serum was only made for men, Rachel had completely torn her skin due to excessive growth of bones and died. Both Alden and James were arrested and taken to court, where the judge, Olivia Hall sentenced both of them to Life Imprisonment.
