Patricia P. Harris

Patricia P. Harris was one of the suspects in Troubled Waters (Case #43).

Profile
Patricia is a 65 year old, blue-eyed crime novelist with short blonde hair who dresses somewhat casually, sporting a red blouse, blue polka-dot scarf, and a pearl necklace buried in the scarf. She weighs 170 pounds and her blood type is O+. Patricia sustained a bee sting in her neck for some reason, but she is also known to sail a boat, wear lipstick, and even drink mead (honey-fermented alcoholic drink).

Role in Case(s)
Patricia is a famous crime novelist.

After inquiring about the victim before Martha Price, Isabella Fairchild, and Donald Hopkins, the team decided to investigate the "Kitchen Counter" crime scene and found two items: a book manuscript and a torn letter. When the book manuscript was examined, it was exposed as a novel written by Patricia, and thus she was called into the investigation at her book collection to discuss about Andrew's death. The team told Patricia that a character named "Andrew Sootworth" was conceived at Archibald's blessing. Andrew refused to talk with Patricia about the book, as Patricia believed that novels takes inspiration from real life. Patricia then told the team she took some boat sailing lessons as "Andrew Sootworth" drove a boat in the novel, but also mentioned that the hero died during a fishing trip.

Patricia was called in a second time after the team examined a testimony and the examination pointed out directly to her. Patricia admitted to the team that she saw Andrew while she was having mead at the Marina. Patricia told the team that Andrew was always with someone but she couldn't spot the exact person as her wanton mead drinking prevented her from knowing who the companion was. This prompted the team to suspect Patricia a bit more and to revisit the Maple Heights Marina for missing clues.

After Isabella was indicted, Jezabela approached the police about a paddle with her company's logo left in the Maple Heights Marina. The team didn't hesitate to talk to Patricia about the paddle, so the team checked out the Marina and found Jezabela's white paddle, used forensic powder to find fingerprints, and then sent the paddle to Alex for a verification. The fingerprints belonged to Patricia, made her confess the reason for property violation, and issued her with a fine.
