The Lake's Bride is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the twenty-seventh case of the game as well as the city of Grimsborough. It takes place in the Historical Center, a district based in Grimsborough.

Plot

Upon Ramirez's report, the player and Jones went to the Grimsborough lake to collect the body of a local woman named Mary Gray, who was found dead drowned inside the trunk of a car pulled from the lake.

Ramirez and fisherman Floyd Russel insisted to the detectives that the murder was committed by the Creature of the Lake, just like an unsolved murder that happened fifty years previously. Despite the theories, they investigated Ramirez's lead for clues at the entrance of town. Later, the detectives were confronted by the supposed Creature of the Lake before they fled. They managed to salvage the killer's suit and all other clues to incriminate poet Alexander Vladinsky responsible for Mary's death.

It was discovered that Alexander had a mental illness, the poet claiming that he loved Mary. When Jones asked Alexander why he killed the woman he loved, Alexander replied with a strange answer. He said that love, passion and death were all similar and murder was the highest form of desire. Since Alexander had a mental illness, Judge Hall sentenced him to 30 years in jail, accompanied by a psychiatrist.

After the trial, Jones and the player helped hunter James Savage rescue a weakened young fox at the town exit and assisted Mary's forlorn friend Thomas Benson find Mary's fairytale book for him and his dog, Little Mary. The player also joined Ramirez in finding a pamphlet so Ramirez could learn all about the lake creature legend from Floyd.
