The Cases

Case 1: Broken Hearted

Case 2: Coulda Been A Contender

A referee named Rick Shimada was found dead in the fighting ring. Your partner in this case is Greg Sanders. The suspects are an angry fighter named Hank Hackett, a mysterious ring girl named Tina Allens, and the league owner, Horace Willingham. Suspect Hank Hackett is murdered halfway through the investigation, making it a double homicide.

Case 3: Last Gasp

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.

Case 4: Extinguished

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, and his 18-year-old stepson, Lyle Fitzer.

Case 5: Crime Scene Impersonator

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 to out to be the victim's friend and manager. This murder was staged like 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 a case you solve a celebrity murder and a cold case.
