Rex Logan

Rex Logan was the victim of Star Crime (Case #91, or Case #35 of Pacific Bay).

Murder Details
Rex was found on the set of Warzone Pacific in Studio 51 melted to death with acid. In spite of Amy Young's post-traumatic instabilities from the start of the investigation, the player managed to find an acid bottle and given that the bottle was used to melt the actor to death, it was registered as the murder weapon right on the spot. The corpse was shipped to Roxie Sparks without hesitation.

Roxie welcomed Amy back to duty but felt that her pre-result jokes would not be appropriate for the junior officer at the time in which Amy felt it was a part of her job to know all details about the murder. Roxie was surprised that the player was correct about the acid being the murder weapon in spite of the corpse's position being unnatural based on the crime scene photos Roxie observed, suggesting that killer placed the victim in that unnatural position post-mortem.

Furthermore, Roxie found traces of talcum powder in Rex's elbows and knees as during the post-mortem staging, the killer made contact at those spots. Alas the killer was confirmed to have used talcum powder.

Killer and Motives
The killer was an actor named Daniel Lambert.

Daniel refused to admit to the crime once Amy and the player attempted to arrest him, but when Amy told him that the player retraced his steps which proved his guilt (including but not limited to positioning Rex's body to match the Utopian Enemy statue as a message), he conceded by stating that Rex was untalented and was not fit to star in a lead role in any film project. Daniel felt that Rex abused his Utopian faith to get the lead role for Warzone Pacific and Rex's abuse of the cult's faith made him label the victim as a traitor to the Utopians. Daniel wanted Rex gone so that he would have some time to shine in Ivywood, not to mention that he wanted to make the Utopians proud. Moreso, Daniel felt that Rex was not well-synchronized with the cult's faith, so to fool the player, Daniel stole a bottle of acid from Lucy Armstrong's prop room, threw it at Rex when he and the victim were alone in the set, configured the corpse to resemble a Utopian Statuette from the drive-in theater, and fled the scene, hoping that the acid would destroy the evidence. The player was fool-proof in the investigation per Amy, so Daniel was shipped to court.

Judge Dante told Daniel that he was not qualified to convict extraterrestrials, but Daniel told the honorable that he had to wear makeup since it was a part of his job in Warzone Pacific. Judge Dante made one thing clear despite his alleged xenophobia--A murder is a felony in planet Earth, and a 30-year jail sentence was issued to Daniel for grand homicide. Amy felt that it was a big welcome-back investigation in her books in spite of the team treating her like a fragile child, but she made clear that the Utopians isn't a cult to be trifled with. Post-indictment comments aside, Amy spoke to the player in the third person to announce that she's finally back for real.
