* Shady Kent
Suspects
* Austin Hoover

* Angela Henderson
* Delbert Richards

Killer

Motive
Byron said that he copied the Urytol Reaper in hopes that it would make him come out again. He said he deeply admired the Reaper and that he used the most despised person in the town to bite the bullet. Before his sentencing, we asked him if he was a member of the Reaper's Servants, and he told us he didn't even know what that was.
Sentence
Life Imprisonment
Additional Investigation
After being hauled away, all the electricity in the courtroom turns off and when they turn back on, Byron is missing. We leave the courtroom to find him, only for Angela to tell us she found Byron. When we went to the area, she told us that she was secretly an undercover cop who didn't want to make their identity known in case the killer was the reaper. She said she's been working the Reaper's case ever since 2018 and that she's ready to get back on it. We then asked her where Byron is, and she pointed to his body which had several cuts and the roman numerals "XXXIX" carved on his forehead. We then realized that his shirt was missing too and the words "NOBODY COPIES ME" were carved onto his chest. We realize this must be the work of the reaper because "XXXIX" translates to 39 in roman numerals and the reaper has had 38 victims so far. What was carved onto his chest was also a dead giveaway. We then search his room and find tons of magazines about Joanna Oliver, the fashion model who was mugged back in Anesea. Claudia said that her and Joanna were close friends and that they were in the same classes despite the age difference, as her father paid a fortune for Claudia to be in a higher grade. We then wonder what Joanna has to do with all this. We talk to Angela about Joanna and we are told that Joanna wanted to keep it a secret, but it is known around Urytol that she is the only surviving victim of the Reaper. We realize that Joanna may have some crucial evidence for us about the Reaper and we realize that she's currently in Urytol at the moment, so we rush to the show she's at, only to realize that one of the actors were strangled on set.
