Anjulie Cruz

Anjulie Cruz was the victim of Leap of Death (Case #81, or Case #25 of Pacific Bay).

Murder Details
Amy Young's enjoyment of the Frosty Cup was ruined after the player witnessed Anjulie sliced in half as she was jumping from a snow ramp, grounds for the team to treat the murder as being premeditated. The player didn't hesitate to send Anjulie to Roxie Sparks for autopsy.

After tedious hours of autopsy, Roxie took account of Anjulie's speed and as such stated that only a wire would be a plausible weapon given that Anjulie was sliced to death at the end of the ramp. The player didn't see the wire while they were watching Anjulie jump as Amy deduced the killer pulled the wire from the scene following Anjulie's death. Besides that, Roxie couldn't help but notice a unique substance where Anjulie was pryed in half: highly refined oil. This oil was used to make vehicles resistant to extreme temperatures, in which snow mobiles came to Roxie's mind. Roxie deduced that the killer used snow mobile oil to grease the wire on the ski ramp to make it virtually invisible. Roxie's finding suggested that the killer has a snow mobile.

On the second visit to the ski ramp, Amy and the player found a barbed wire inside a box of merchandise, but Amy wasn't sure if that was the wire was used for the premeditated murder, so it was given to Roxie for a second opinion. Roxie didn't have a difficult time confirming as she noticed the killer wiped the blood off the wire to cover their tracks, but managed to catch traces of snow mobile oil shared with the victim, registering the wire as the murder weapon. Roxie also noticed an unidentified molecule on the wire edges, but felt stumped, so she allowed the player to identify the molecule. The player managed to identify the molecule as lip balm, suggesting that the killer used lip balm.

Killer and Motives
Amy informed Sven about the apparatus he used to seal Anjulie's fate, much to Amy's beliefs of females having an equal chance for a medal in the Frosty Cup. Sven was a sexist and hated the idea of women being in ski jumping as he recalled during his time ski jumping and the Frosty Cup were serious sports for men only before he was forced to include a women's segment of the sporting event. Sven competed in the Frosty Cup when he was younger but failed to garnish a medal and as such allowing women to land a medal in the Frosty Cup would be out of the question on his watch. Amy and the player turned Sven to face trial before Judge Dante.

Sven told the court that winter sports were meant for males for centuries as a true test of heroism but stood tall with his two feet during his testimony. Sven hated the fact he had to make ski ramps safer to accommodate women in which he believed would be a waste in the ISA's budget, which caused Sven to believe that there's no more glory in winter sports. What drove Sven to murder was that Anjulie threatened to sue the ISA for alleged sexism unless he allowed women in the Frosty Cup, but Judge Dante told Sven that gender discrimination doesn't pay under any circumstances. Sven was sentenced to 25 years in jail for the premeditated murder of Anjulie and promoting sexism in winter sports.
