Bayou Blood is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the sixty-second case of the game and the sixth case of Pacific Bay. Also, it is the first case to take place Bayou Bleu, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot

Chief Marquez greeted the player as she began introducing Bayou Bleu to the player, when suddenly Frank Knight interrupted the conversation between the two, leading a distateful Chief Marquez to remind Frank of the pep talk they had. After an agreement, Frank offered to accompany the player for the first day of duty in Bayou Bleu.

Sometime later, Frank and the player arrived at a swamp pier. There they found a human body gruesomely skewered against a tree. As a result, Frank and the player had to begin a murder investigation, during which they managed to identify the body as being a waiter for the Gumbo Jumbo restaurant named Lee Dupree, who also happened to be an Ocean Shore native. The team took time to gather enough evidence to incriminate Gumbo Jumbo waitress Shawna Knox as the one who killed Lee.

When Frank and the player had enough evidence to hold Shawna accountable for the gruesome murder, Shawna claimed she had to kill Lee in an act of self-defense because according to Shawna, Lee was a troublesome child and wanted to mock someone, so he chose to pick on Shawna. Shawna did not like Lee's advances as she felt it was an act of sexual harassment, and had to do something about Lee's disturbing behavior, even though she had to go to extremes.

Shawna submitted a plea of guilt for manslaughter in spite of being brought before the Honorable Dante for first-degree murder charges but the Honorable Dante wanted to know as to why Shawna needed those BBQ Skewers with her, as he firmly believed self-defense can be achieved without violence. Shawna mentioned Lee's "trouble-child" premise when he started working at the Gumbo Jumbo, but added that he chose not to just bully Shawna, but wanted to sexually harass Shawna without any exceptions, as he felt he had the right to dominate Shawna by all means possible. Shawna told the Honorable Dante the purpose of her to have those BBQ Skewers with her was to be ready for Lee's trap at anytime, so when Lee attempted to sexually harass Shawna, she let Lee have it at the heart, and then pinned Lee with two more on each of his shoulders so it would look similar to a voodoo doll she found at Bill Farnham's Voodoo Shop, in which after she sent the voodoo doll to the Pacific Bay Police Force so that she would shift the blame to Bill for the murder -- a feat in which did not help Shawna at all.

The Honorable Dante accepted Shawna's plea of guilt for the manslaughter, alas he had to institutionalize Shawna to an institution for violent minors, in which the Honorable Dante claimed would help Shawna build better coping strategies and a new life through the years to come, since Shawna was only 17 years of age and the crime's severity did not warrant any adult-level punishments.

Throughout the case, Frank demonstrated no respect to his fellow lab workers, specifically Roxie Sparks and Russell Crane. Yann Toussaint demonstrated his willingness to try out gumbo in lieu of celebrating his anniversary with his wife, Jessica Toussaint, and Chief Marquez mentioned Amy Young having respect for the player.
