Holly Hopper (Criminal Case)

Holly Hopper is a recurring villainess from Criminal Case: Pacific Bay, the 2nd season of the crime solving game Criminal Case. She was an Ivywood Hills gossip columnist who was questioned in two murder investigations before being revealed as a villainess in case #37, "The Ship of Dreams" (release date January 8, 2015).
After the murder case was solved, the player, Frank Knight, and Russell Crane worked to find the leader of the infamous cult known as "The Utopians" (a cult that Russell was once an unwilling member of). After police chief Andrea Marquez was brainwashed by the cult, a photo of Andrea was found with a message written on it, which revealed that the Utopians' leader had personally brainwashed Andrea.
Russell examined the message and deduced from the neat writing style that the message's writer was someone used to writing effectively. This served to reveal that journalist Holly was Andrea's brainwasher and the Utopian cult's leader. When confronted by Russell and the player, the evil Holly admitted to having become the Utopians' leader seven years prior and to being responsible for the brainwashings and the planned brainwashing attack on the Ivywood Film Awards ceremony. It was then that Holly pulled out a pistol and seemingly shot herself in the head to prevent the Utopians from being taken down by the police, bitterly telling Russell that their plans would've been easier if he had stayed in the cult before her suicide.
But as revealed in case #38, "Dead Carpet" (release date January 15, 2015), Holly had faked her suicide in order to lay low in preparation of the Utopians' attack on the Film Awards ceremony. Her ruse was discovered via a text message on the phone of Tyler Snakes, the organizer of the ceremony and a fellow Utopian member, who had been found poisoned outside the award hall. Holly was soon afterwards spotted by the player and Amy Young in the Ivywood Heights Hotel, having attempted to disguise herself. Upon being caught, Holly admitted to faking her death to deal with the stress of the cult and that she often had to deal with Tyler attempting to oust her as the Utopians' leader. This led to Holly becoming a suspect in Tyler's murder, though his true killer was revealed to be Utopian member Velma Bannister. After the police retrieved the videotape containing the brainwashing movie the Utopian cult was planning to use at the awards ceremony, Holly was arrested for her cult's heinous crimes, effecting disbanding the organization.
