Ignatius Dupree

Ignatius Dupree was one of the suspects during the murder investigation of his nephew, Lee Dupree in Bayou Blood (Case #62, or Case #6 of Pacific Bay).

Profile
Ignatius is a 57-year old gumbo chef who sports standard chef attire with his chef hat covering his gray hair. Ignatius can be seen carrying a stained ladle on his right hand, has stains on his chef shirt, and a shrimp on top of his chef hat. Ignatius wears suspenders, and is known to chew tobacco, use foot cream, and be in contact with shrimp.

Role in Case(s)
Ignatius is the owner of the Gumbo Jumbo seafood restaurant in Bayou Bleu.

After Frank and the player restored an employee card revealing Lee working at the Gumbo Jumbo seafood restaurant, prompting the team to investigate the terrace of the seafood restaurant. The team found a timer inside the cook's jacket but when Ignatius woke up, he was mad that the police were touching the timer, but the police wanted to inform Ignatius that his nephew was dead. Ignatius was shocked because he wonders what he needed to tell his mother as Lee's mother required Lee to work for Ignatius to stay out of trouble, but Ignatius felt he failed realizing Lee was murdered.

Ignatius was approached by the police a second time when Yann found shrimp juice and Lee's blood on the third skewer not to mention foot cream from the killer laid in the hilt of the BBQ Skewer, registering the object as the murder weapon. Frank went to accuse Ignatius of attempted murder but Ignatius furiously countered that half of Bayou Bleu passes through Gumbo Jumbo's doors day by day, so anyone could've touched Ignatius's BBQ Skewers without his permission. Although Ignatius admitted that he had problems with his nephew (due to him being a natural bully), Ignatius said that murder was never the answer on his watch.

Ignatius was proven innocent once Shawna Knox was found guilty of first-degree murder, and in spite of Frank's protest of dining in the Gumbo Jumbo restaurant, Yann expressed interest in Ignatius's proprietary gumbo recipe, and did a huge favor for Ignatius by providing super rare persimmons needed to augment Ignatius's gumbo supply. Yann wanted to deploy Ignatius's gumbo recipe for his wedding anniversary, but Ignatius required Yann to try his gumbo out before Yann can have the recipe, in which Yann agreed to enjoy.
