Burned to the Bone is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the ninth case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Industrial Area, a district based in Grimsborough.
Plot
Chad Whickman, a member of the Vipers gang, was found burnt to a crisp on an abandoned parking lot. The killer was eventually incriminated to be the manager of a mini-market, Joe Stern.
During his arrest, Joe started by claiming that the Vipers would often stop by to vandalize his mini-market, causing an animosity between him and the gang. One day Chad came by, asking Joe for a job in his mini-market. The nature of this event infuriated Joe, since Chad happened to be a member of the Vipers. Showing no mercy, Joe opted to decimate the gang member – thus pouring gasoline on him and burning him to death with his cigarettes.
