Lisa Edwards

Lisa Edwards was a Grimsborough University student who was found hung in the library of the university in At the End of the Rope (Case #35).

Murder Details
Lisa was found hanging from a noose in the library of the Grimsborough University, where she studied. She was hung by the railings of the second floor of the library and was left dangling over a study table. The team investigated the scene and thought that it was just a suicide. Lisa's body was then sent to Nathan for an autopsy report.

Nathan told the team that he had looked carefully at the wounds on the victim's neck but couldn't find anything that pointed towards a killer. He then said that Lisa had a bump on her head which was probably caused by the ceiling when the victim stood up on the railing to commit suicide. Nathan then confirmed the team that the murder weapon was the rope, which had snapped Lisa's neck, causing her to die in seconds.

Killer and Motives
Lisa was murdered by her best friend, Penelope Rivera.

Penelope wanted to get closer to her best friend, Lisa and decided to scare the victim so that she could comfort her. She started to send bullying messages to Lisa on Friendnet anonymously, but unfortunately for Penelope, it didn't work out since Lisa never talked to her about the messages and began spending all her time by herself or with Tess Goodwin.

Then one day, Lisa asked Penelope to come to the university's library. Penelope went there happily, thinking that her best friend would finally get even closer to her. When she went there, Lisa was furious and told her that she knew she was the one harrassing her on Friendnet (the @rtist had informed her about this), and that she hated her now.

Lisa said many more things and kept shouting at Penelope, who got enraged and pushed the victim hard, causing her to fall down and become unconsious. Penelope then took a rope from under the desk and hanged Lisa till death.
