The Rorschach Reaper

The Rorschach Reaper (Case #41) is the fourty-first case of the game and the final case in the University district. The victim was a Grismborough University student and cheerleader named Madison Springer, who was slain shortly after she was crowned Queen of Grimsborough University's Prom Ball. The killer was really the district's serial killer, "Rorschach Reaper" and the identity of the killer was Tess Goodwin, a psychology student, who blew the top of Madison's head using the explosives placed in her tiara.

Tess believed that there is a murderer sleeping within helpless souls so she decided to study psychology and use the Rorschach Inkblot test as a vehicle to “bring the assassin” within three other people through hypnosis, thus she started what would become the “worst senior project” in the history of Grimsborough.

Tess prevailed thus far by manipulating Rani's sister, Lisa's best friend and an activist to slay Rani Goshwalla, Lisa Edwards and Aaliyah Banks through hypnosis and the Rorschach Inkblot Test, as she claims that these three girls have weak minds.

However, knowing that David Jones is consumed by anger, emotion, and a weak mind, Tess decided to kill Madison herself (using a tiara she rigged with explosives and a remote that was intended to slay Madison with a touch of the button) in order to buy time to brainwash Jones to kill the player, and once the investigation proved there was enough evidence to arrest Tess for Madison’s death, Tess attempted to resist arrest by brainwashing Jones into killing the player to complete her “senior project”, but Ramirez managed to ruin it by knocking Jones unconscious with a saucepan. Once Tess was brought to trial, she tried to defend herself by saying that she was liable for slaying Madison, but was not liable for indirectly slaying Rani, Lisa, and Aaliyah. However, she accused Ramirez of ruining her senior project as she claims that the player’s death is what she needs to complete her thesis.

For directly slaying Madison Springer, the attempted murder of the player, and the second degree murders of Rani, Lisa, and Aaliyah, Tess was sentenced by Judge Hall to life in jail with no parole, thus ending the killing spree that terrorized Grimsborough University.

In spite of Tess's incarceration, Ramirez felt frightened when Tess smiled out of the courtroom, but upholds beliefs that people can be good at heart as well. With Jones back to normal, the team can finally celebrate the detainment of the serial killer, Tess Goodwin. Even after Tess's detainment, it may be unlikely that the other three killers (Misha, Taylor, and Penelope) would be pardoned for Tess's crimes.
