Irina Phelps (Criminal Case)

Irina Phelps is the villainess of "Innocence Lost", case #19 of the crime solving game Criminal Case (release date February 28, 2013). She was the business partner of venture capitalist Derek Molina and was also friends with Gail Harding, the intern for CCN reporter Rachel Priest who was friends with Derek.
Irina and Derek were both also revealed as habitual cocaine users, and one night, the two were partying with Gail in her room at the Stone Cold Motel, during which time Gail overdosed and fell into a coma. Irina noticed this after Derek left and, believing Gail was dead and not wanting her death to ruin her and Derek's careers, Irina took the incapacitated Gail to a construction site and buried her in cement.
When Irina was first questioned by detective David Jones and the player, Irina claimed that she left Gail's motel room early on the night of her death and revealed Gail's tension with Rachel and how she believed Derek "had fun at her expense". When fingerprints of Irina's were found on the cocaine mirror found in the motel room, Gail revealed how she and Derek partied with Gail the night of her death, but claimed she was fine when she left her.
The evidence, however, all pointed to Irina's guilt, resulting in David and the player confronting Irina. Cornered, the evil Irina confessed to unknowingly burying Gail alive, claiming that she had been disoriented and panicked after coming to believe Gail had died and stated that she couldn't let Gail's "stupidity" ruin her and Derek's company. Irina was arrested and put on trial, where she claimed (most likely falsely) that she felt guilty for what she'd done to Gail. Regardless, judge Olivia Hall sentenced Irina to ten years in prison with a possibility for parole in five.

* "That's not what happened at all! Derek had already left when I noticed Gail wasn't waking up. I was high, drunk, tired, and I guess I panicked. I thought she was dead! I knew about the construction site, and I thought...I just didn't want the body to be found. Derek and I have worked so hard to build this company! I couldn't let Gail's stupidity jeopardize everything!" (Irina's selfish justification for unintentionally killing Gail Harding)
