The Young and the Lifeless is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the eighty-seventh case of the game. It is the thirty-first case of Pacific Bay and the first to take place in the Ivywood Hills district.

Plot

Previously, Chief Marquez moved the team to Ivywood Hills. Amy wanted to work again but the Chief told Amy to rest from all the events of the last case. Frank was instructed to give the player a tour to Ivywood, much to his disappointment. Frank obliged anyway and took the player to the iconic Ivywood sign. There, they found actress Felicia Steppingstone tied to the sign with slash wounds. Felicia's body was sent to Roxie for autopsy while Holly Hopper was interrogated for trespassing as they started the investigation. After enough investigation, the team found Tucker Smalls guilty for the murder.

Initially denying involvement, Tucker admitted to the murder. He said that Felicia was yelling at him all the time, but the last straw for Tucker was when he got arrested and jailed, for drug possession, in which he said the drugs had belonged to Felicia. Enraged at Felicia for giving him a criminal record and ruining his dreams as a actor, Tucker chased Felicia to the Ivywood sign and slashed her to death. Judge Dante sentenced him to 20 years in jail.

After the trial, Russell wanted to amend after becoming a suspect in the previous case. He then falsely arrested Abbi Absinthe for breaking in the theater and stealing a film reel. The player was not convinced by the arrest so they took Frank to investigate the theater once more, where they found Reggie Perez guilty of the crime. Russell then apologized to Abbi for his mistake.

Chief Marquez found out about Russell's mistake and told him that the next time he made a major mistake, she would kick him out of the force. Russell said that he felt like coming back to his hometown would only bring trouble. He also took the time to state that he should become more of a humble person.
