Cross My Heart is a case featured in Criminal Case as the fourth case of The Conspiracy (Season 5) and the two-hundred thirty-fifth case overall. It takes place in the Fairview district of Grimsborough.
Plot
Gloria and the player went to Fairview Mall after Chief Parker said that a body had been found there. They then collected the body of business owner Brad Price, who had been shot through the heart with an arrow.
Mid-investigation, Ramirez sent the player flowers through florist Javier Morales. Later, Brad's fiancée, Brooke Long, got in a fight with Javier after she found out that Brad was cheating on her with him. The team then found enough evidence to arrest massage therapist Megan Lucas for the murder.
Upon admitting to the murder, Megan said that Brad had almost killed her. He invited her to a party when they were in senior year. There, he dared her to jump into the pool because everyone was going to do it. Wanting to fit in, Megan jumped into the pool, not knowing that it was drained empty a few days earlier. She was then hospitalized for six months, ruining her plans of going to medical school. Angry at him for ruining her life, Megan struck Brad with an arrow through the heart, hoping that people would think it was a murder due to love. Judge Powell sentenced her to 7 years in prison for the crime.
Post-trial, Gabriel said that one of the victims of the Rocket Cow Killer, Barbara Litzke, used to work at the flower shop. He and the player then talked to Javier, who directed the team to the flower shop for her belongings. The two found Barbara's agenda, containing a note to go to an election meeting, as well as a list of names containing David O'Connell and Emma Tank, two other known victims of the Rocket Cow Killer. Per Cathy, the election was for the parent association in Fairview High School. Furthermore, all the known victims of the Rocket Cow Killer were parents of Fairview High School students. Gabriel and the player then warned Principal Rosamund Wilcox of the killer's modus operandi.
Meanwhile, Martine and the player set Rita up for a date with Marcus Cannon, someone she had met at the mall. Afterwards, Gloria decided to pull her son out of school after finding out about the Rocket Cow Killer's modus operandi. Chief Parker decided to allocate police resources to catch the serial killer as soon as possible.
