Theresa Cole (Criminal Case)

Theresa Cole is the villainess of "The Lost City", case #19 of Criminal Case: The Conspiracy, the 5th season of the crime solving game Criminal Case (release date May 24, 2018). She was an employee of city hall and was among the first contacted by the player and David Jones in regards to the murder of archeologist Karen Boulder, who was found dead at the ancient ruins of the lost city of Xerda.
Theresa was quickly established as an overworked woman, revealing how Karen had come to her to get permits regarding the excavation of Xerda and bemoaning how much more work the city's discovery had put on her. It was later revealed that Theresa had hired Eduardo Ramirez to follow Karen, wanting to find out if she was doing anything illegal at the Xerda site. When questioned by the detectives, Theresa revealed that Karen came to her for more permits and insulted her when she told her it would take some time, wanting to stop her dig to get back at her for her insults.
But as revealed later on, Theresa had been behind Karen's murder. Having been pushed over the edge by the stress caused by the extra work Xerda's discovery gave her, Theresa decided to kill Karen at the Xerda work site so that the excavation would be cancelled. The evil Theresa attacked Karen at the site, tying her up before using a tar pump to force tar down her throat until she suffocated to death, hoping her unusual murder method would make the police believe "The Higher Truth" (a cult established in Old Town) was responsible for Karen's murder.
But ultimately, the evidence (which included DNA Theresa left on the tar pump) led to Theresa being exposed as Karen's killer and she was confronted at her officer by the player and David. After initially attempting to deny everything, Theresa confessed to killing Kraen, ranting about how much stress she was under regarding Xerda and how she'd hoped killing Karen would scare everyone away from the excavation project. Theresa was arrested and sentenced by judge Judith Powell to ten years in prison with mandatory counselling, with Theresa simply asking that she not be able to see Xerda from her prison cell.
==Quotes==
*"You can't imagine the administrative burden of suddenly finding a lost civilization! I've had no sleep since Xerda was discovered! It wasn't just Ms Boulder harassing me for excavation permits... it was the Mayor, the press, the tourism board, even the Pope... I couldn't take it anymore! I was sick of working weekends and taking phone calls at night! I wanted my life back! I wanted that wretched hole in the ground backfilled! I wanted Xerda to disappear again!" (Theresa revealing her motivation for killing Karen Boulder)
