Suspect Hank Hackett is murdered halfway through the investigation, making it a double homicide.Horace originally confesses to the murders, but it is discovered that Tina murdered Rick because he planned to expose the league for rigging matches, then killed Hank and framed him by making his death look like a suicide.
A female TV host named Clarinda Jackson was found drowned to death in a rehab center spa. Your partner in this case is Dr. Raymond Langston. The suspects are the victim's lover, Steven Tampson, her husband, Ernest Goldwasser, and a TV rival named Jack Shell.It is discovered that Steven never had any feelings for Clarinda, but she was madly in love with him, and he only began their relationship to humor her and to ruin her marriage with her husband, as he blamed the couple for his own divorce. He kills her after she confesses she loves him.
A famous fire-breather named Andrew Levesque was found dead. Your partner in this case is Riley Adams. According to the autopsy report, the victim was already dying of cancer and it seems the victim was abusive and violent. The suspects are the victim's landlord, Dr. Vincente Manoto, his wife, Ardell Levesque, who recently gave birth to their daughter, and his 18-year-old stepson, Lyle Fitzer. The murderer turns out to be Lyle, as his stepfather did nothing to support their family and Lyle had to step up in order for them to survive, which soon caused his anger toward Andrew to reach the breaking point.
A female impersonator named Wallace Bieganowski under the alias of Miss A was found dead in a nightclub. Your partner in this last case is Catherine Willows. The victim was identified as a superstar but other identification turns out to be the victim's friend and manager. This murder was staged to look like the work of a serial killer from 1975. This killer was known as the Barbor Street Boozer. He got this name because he tied his victims down and poured whiskey down their throats until they died of alcohol poisoning. The suspects are the superstar known as Marcelle (real name: Floyd Collister), a homeless man named Gary Beaumont, and the detective who worked the case back in 1975, Lieutenant Juarice Briggs. At the end of the game, you solve a celebrity murder and a cold case; Floyd was the Boozer, and one of his victims was close to Juarice, making the case very personal for her. This in turn led to Juarice killing Wallace after she mistook him for Floyd.
