Spring Break Massacre

Spring Break Massacre (Case #38) is the thirty-eighth case of the game.

Case Background
The victim was a Grimsborough University student named Aaliyah Banks. She was found floating in the lake with her lower body half-eaten. The killer was Taylor Kirby, an eco-warrior.

Taylor's motive was to raise awareness of the pollution of the lake. She was also extremely furious at Aaliyah, who only cared about her reputation and stopped helping Taylor once she realized that doing protests woudn't get her elected as the Prom Queen.

Taylor stole the piranhas from the Biology Amphitheater with a fish scooper, put them into a cooler, and went to the lake to confront Aaliyah. Taylor knocked her in the head and cut her leg to draw blood before pushing her into the lake, so that the piranhas would attack her. She then finally put the piranhas into the lake to end the victim's life.

It was later revealed after Taylor's indictment (during Kurt Leary's leg of the Additional Investigation) that a serial killer was discovered to be behind the scenes of three murders, signaling the start of a scare that would torment both the University, and the city of Grimsborough.

Trivia

 * The title of the case is a take on the 2008 film, Spring Break Massacre.
 * This case, Murder on Campus, All the King's Horses, and Snakes on the Stage are the only cases in Grimsborough in which the murder weapon is an animal (in this case, the murder weapon is a piranha).
 * In the crime scene "Students' Desks", the "Mysterious Man" on the projector screen strongly resembles Heisenberg from the American crime drama television series Breaking Bad. Plus, the subtitles on the projector screen, "Robbing a train", may be a reference to "Dead Freight", the fifth episode of the fifth season of Breaking Bad.
 * Grumpy Cat can be seen sitting on one of the gas kiosks in the "Gas Station" crime scene.
 * Also in the aforementioned crime scene, the giant robot may be a reference to the Japanese mecha anime television series Gurren Lagann.
