The Grim Butcher is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the third case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Industrial Area, a district based in Grimsborough.

Plot

Per butcher Raoul Colletti's report, the team found the dead body of a teenager named Jennifer Carter, who was found carved up and hanged upside down in Raoul's meat butchery warehouse. The killer turned out to be Raoul's daughter, Trish Colletti.

Raoul refused to protect Trish as the police had enough evidence to prove her involvement in the murder. During her statement, Trish revealed the motive: one day Trish found out that Jennifer slept with her love interest, Raphael Soza, and could not afford Jennifer to get away with it given Raoul's panicking every time Jennifer came to the Colletti's butchery shop. So Trish kidnapped Jennifer, and then discreetly tortured her and butchered her up like a pig while no one was watching.

Due to the heinous nature of the crime and the psychological disorders she demonstrated in the murder, Judge Hall tried Trish as an adult, but the latter countered that she did it for love because she knew Raphael was being brainwashed by Jennifer and that she had to act – grounds for a lifetime jail sentence with psychological monitoring and parole eligibility in 40 years.

Trivia

• In the crime scene "Jennifer's Backpack", the word "REDЯUM" ("Murder" spelled backwards) can be seen in the background. This is most likely a reference to Stephen King's The Shining – a horror novel in which the word works as a plot device.
