Case Background
The victim was Emma Ternon, who worked as an informant for Rachel Priest, but also worked as an upscale escort for Rozalina Davidov. The reason why Ternon worked two jobs was to help Priest infiltrate Greene Holdings by working as a call girl, even at the expense of poor treatment as such. Ternon was supposed to meet Priest at Walton Square, but was pushed out of a tower building window and fell to her death.
