Victim: Jacqueline Proust (Her body was discovered chopped into pieces and displayed on her yard in the shape of an X)
Weapon: Scythe (Trick or Treat)
Suspects:
Luke Fernandez (Got a job as the victim's assistant while taking time off from the Supernatural Investigators; initially described Jacqueline as a good boss, but later confessed that she was demanding and would snap at him over the smallest error)
Felix Reed (Was consulted by the victim for research while writing her new novel about supernatural legends; sent Jacqueline a text reading, "How could you butcher such a classic legend!?", in response to her taking the tragic tale of a local ghost girl and painted her as nothing but a bloodthirsty spirit)
Eduardo Ramirez (Victim's neighbor who discovered her dismembered body; confessed to have had issues with Jacqueline constantly making false reports on him to their gated neighborhood's security, with a letter Eduardo left Jacqueline accusing her of doing so out of racist bias)
Jerry Miller (Security guard for the victim's gated neighborhood after being fired from the Grimsborough Museum following the events of Writer's Blocked; revealed that Jacqueline had made several passes at him in the past, only to be disgusted when he told her he was gay)
Patricia P. Harris (Fellow local writer; was caught burning several of Jacqueline's newest book in the local park, revealing that she hated Jacqueline for coming into town and ousting her as the community's best-selling author)
Killer: Luke Fernandez, much to the player and David's shock. When confronted, Luke tried to claim he was innocent and question how the player could think he would commit murder after all they'd been through together. But once the evidence cornered him, Luke broke down and confessed to the murder, saying Jacqueline deserved it for all she'd done. When David asked what Luke was talking about, Luke revealed that he took a DNA test and it revealed that Jacqueline was his biological mother. After finding that his biological father died in a fire years prior, Luke took the assistant job with Jacqueline to be close to her, and eventually worked up the courage to tell her she was his son.
However, rather than accept Luke, Jacqueline accused him of being after her money and ordered him to leave, firing him. It was afterwards that Luke began spying on Jacqueline at her home, and it was while listening in on a phone conversation she had that he learned a horrifying secret: Jacqueline had orchestrated the murder of Luke's father after he abandoned her when she became pregnant with Luke, and subsequently abandoned him at a hospital before returning to France to avoid having her actions uncovered.
Dismayed that his mother not only abandoned him, but killed his father, Luke became vengeful and killed Jacqueline the following evening, forcing his way into her home and using a scythe to cut her to pieces before assemblying them in the form of an X on her yard. When asked why he used such a morbid murder method, he said it was the murder method used by a serial killer in one of Jacqueline's novels, and he hoped it would make the police believe her murder was the work of an obsessed fan. After admitting he was stupid to think he could outwit the player, David arrested Luke and he was sentenced to 40 years in prison--much to the heartache of his former Supernatural Investigators co-workers.
Next Set:
