Yelena Tereshkova is the main villainess of "Countdown to Murder", case #18 of Criminal Case: Save the World, the 3rd season of the crime solving game Criminal Case (release date January 21, 2016). She was a cosmonaut who was a suspect in two murder investigations before becoming a villainess in "Countdown to Murder".
Over the course of her first two appearances, it was revealed that Yelena applied twice for cosmonaut training at Russian space agency COSMORUS, but was rejected on both occasions. Prior to the case's events, Yelena was told by Natasha Romanova, the head of COSMORUS and also its SOMBRA mole, that her applications were rejected by Senator Vitaly Borodin, who was the head of the Security and Defense Committee.
Yelena was also told by Natasha that if she killed Vitaly, she would be able to go into space as she'd always dreamed. Intent on having her ambitions realized, Yelena turned heel and followed through with Natasha's request, using her knowledge of physics to modify a welding laser torch into a laster cutter that she then used to slice Vitaly's throat. The dying Russian senator was able to snap a picture of Yelena's COSMORUS badge with his camera during his final moments alive, and this was among several other pieces of evidence proving Yelena's direct role in his murder.
The player and Jack Archer confronted Yelena with the evidence, and after initially proclaiming innocence, Yelena broke down and confessed to killing Vitaly in hopes of finally going into space, while also revealing Natasha as the true mastermind behind Vitaly's murder. After Natasha was found and arrested, she and Yelena were given a joint trial, with the former blasting the latter for failing to fulfill her second request: launching SOMBRA's satellite into orbit. Yelena was sentenced to fifty years in prison by Judge Nigel Adaku, with the murderer bemoaning the fact that she would never fulfill her dream of going into space.
