The Wollcrafts' Creature

The Wollcrafts' Creature is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the thirtieth case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in Historical Center, a district based in Grimsborough.

Plot
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 competition. 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 would 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 father's 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 would discuss the Wollcrafts' offenses some other day.

Percy was sentenced to 30 years in jail.
