Events of Criminal Case

Bad Vibes

After arresting Rainee Day's killer, Felix and the player asked Ben about Chief Arrow's foul mood, which had started ever since they arrived in Saguaro, Arizona. Ben revealed that Saguaro held memories for the chief as he had honeymooned there with his late wife. Ben suggested that they helped remind the chief of the good times and pointed them in the direction of the crystal caves as Chief Arrow had gone there with his wife.

Hashtag Murder

After arresting Marigold Carson's killer, Ben and the player demanded answers from José Carvallo about Tiffany being an enchanted doll. After José explained how Tiffany came into existence, Ben and the player left him. Ben then started to reminisce about his dad, Michael Shepherd. Ben decided to send his dad a present. After they found some coffee beans, they sent them to Priya for analysis. Priya determined that while the coffee beans were strong, they were safe to drink. The player then accompanied Ben as he called his dad, who assumed that Ben was on a tour of duty. Ben informed Michael that he was sending him some fresh coffee beans, who tried to get Ben to tell him where he was. Ben and Michael then said their goodbyes.

Death at a Funeral

After arresting Bernie Silverman's killer, Ben told Felix and the player that Hope's condition had worsened. Demon ally Arthur Darkwood suggested to him that Hope had been put in a magical coma after being used to unlock the demon queen's cage and that she needed a magical cure containing holy water. Felix and the player were able to find holy water and convince resurrected businessman Larry Zarus to help save Hope.

To the Lighthouse

After discovering the demon identity of Bucky Johnson's killer, Chief Arrow and the player discovered that the former's mentor, supernatural hunter Falcon, had been responsible for Lily's death and had allowed demon rebel Rathimael to bind the demon queen to her body. Later, Ben spotted Chief Arrow driving off in his van. After Gwen and the player discovered that Chief Arrow was heading to Florida, Ben informed them that Chief Arrow's last vacation with Lily had been in a swamp in the Everglades, prompting the team to head to Florida.

Divided We Fall

After arresting Roxanne Vega's killer, Gwen and the player asked Ben about Rathimael's message in which he wrote "There is still hope", indicating that Hope was their only hope against the demons. Ben deduced that there was something special about Hope that could help them against the demons and asked for her notes from Rathimael's mentorship.

Analyses

As the Medic of the Supernatural Hunters, Ben's responsibilities center around carefully examining and analyzing each murdered corpse and informing the team of such results after a certain amount of time or a speed-up process using Criminal Case Cash. His task-wait rates vary depending on the difficulty of the task, but they all cost 1 Criminal Case Cash per 30 minutes.
