Gloria Hayes is a main character featured in Season 5 of Criminal Case. Appearing as the Police Detective of the Grimsborough Police Department, she serves as a partner to the player throughout the season.

Profile
Hailing from Chicago, Gloria is 41 years of age and worked for the Chicago PD prior to her tenure to the department. She has brown eyes and long wavy brown hair. She wears a burnt orange blouse under her black police coat, as well as a badge of the Grimsborough PD. Furthermore, she wears golden feather earrings, a gold pendant, and red lipstick.

Gloria is described as energetic, forthright, outgoing, and diligent. Despite being divorced, she has a son named Carter and loves any time she spends with him. She unwinds from her job by binge-watching television.

Per her suspect apperance in Hear My Cry, it is known that Gloria knows chemistry, eats meatloaf and listens to Byron Uno.

Snake in the Grass
Shortly after arresting Nathan Pandit's killer, the player met up with Gloria, who was also on her first day in the police force. She introduced herself, saying she was from Chicago and was excited for a smaller town like Grimsborough. She also said that she followed her ex-husband here to spend more time with her son, Carter. Since his birthday was coming up, Gloria asked the player if they could accompany her in finding a gift for him in the zoo shop.

While there, they found a DVD of CCN's "Grimsborough: A Year in Review". From the DVD, they found out that a satellite had crashed into Grimsborough a year ago, but fortunately, nobody was harmed. Having just found out about the incident, and shocked by it, Gloria turned to Jones, who clarified that a commercial satellite had suffered a technical difficulty and crashed into the empty forest. He also said that people had mostly forgotten about it by now.

Too Cruel for School
After arresting Vicky Lopez's killer, Gloria and Carter engaged in a fake fight outside of the high school in order to lure out the Rocket Cow Killer. Gloria, equipped with a panic button and a wireless tracker, was then kidnapped by the Rocket Cow Killer at the drive-in theater.

Gameplay
The player may choose Gloria to join the investigation of each crime scene (in any case in The Conspiracy where she teams up with the player) and provide hint bonuses. She is available as a 1-hint partner.
