Benjamin Scott

Benjamin Scott was a suspect in the murder investigation of oil magnate Donald Barnes in Death in the Desert (Case #8 of World Edition).

Profile
Benjamin is a 17-year-old teenager from Britain who is vacationing in the Sahara. He has messy brown hair and has sustained a sunburn due to exposure to the sun. He wears a grey sleeveless shirt and a bone necklace. It is known that Benjamin drinks goat's milk.

Role in Case(s)
Benjamin became a suspect after the player and Carmen Martinez found his tablet in an area between the Najwa camp and the refinery. He explained he was at the Sahara because he was on a gap year. When explained about Donald Barnes' death, he said he simply there to have an adventure as far away from American businessmen as possible. Carmen and the player returned his tablet to him then left him and said to call them if he sees anything unusual.

Benjamin was spoken to again regarding a SandOil lighter, SandOil being the company the victim ran, found in his backpack. He confessed he never spoke to Donald, but he did steal the lighter from him at the airport. While waiting at immigration, he caught the victim trying to jump the queue, so he stole his lighter. He said he was not proud of it, but he did it on the spur of the moment. He said he tried to give the lighter back to Donald's bodyguard Jonah Karam, but was too embarrassed to fess up.

Benjamin was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Mama Yasmine for Donald's murder. However, Carmen and the player needed to speak with him again about a selfie he took saying he was at Mr Sparkle's theme park, when in all actuality he was in the Sahara. He said the selfie was to fool his parents so he could travel alone to the desert. Carmen was not sure if what he was doing was right, but Benjamin begged them to keep his secret or else his father will repatriate him. He also points out he has not done anything illegal, and told them to see the nomads instead, so the player and Carmen left him to his business.
