Victim

* Immanuel White

Suspects

* Jay Cook
* Shaun Elliot
* Karen Diekmaher
* Siena Mcneil
* Darwin Mcpherson

Killer

* Karen Diekmaher

Motive

Karen said that she has been onto Immanuel for a long time since he didn't share the same passion as everyone else in the Animal Rights Movement did. Immanuel was also hesitant to raid the Xinyahnese ships to prevent them from killing whales and said they shouldn't do it because it would get them in trouble. After doing a little research on Immanuel's past, she found out that he was secretly a member of the Division of Public Misconduct and found out that Karen never really cared for the animals and ate meat secretly: she just started the entire group and took people from their famililes like a cult leader would so she could get attention and eventually money from the American side for raiding the Xinyahnese ships. At the party, Karen found Immanuel's phone while backstage where she saw messages between him and Siena saying that he was going to reveal his true identity and arrest Karen tonight at the party. Karen didn't hesitate to make sure that Immanuel wouldn't succeed.

Sentence

Life imprisonment without parole

Additional Investigation

After Karen was arrested, Jay approached us and apologized for being rude to us earlier. He said that Karen paid him a lot of money to make sure that nobody apart from members of the organization got in. We then get a call from Siena, who says that she saw the surveilance footage during the confession and she has the entire thing on tape. Siena said that she would play it after everyone calmed down and show the animal rights group Karen's true colors so they could go back to their families. Siena said that none of the other activists would get in trouble since Karen was very manipulative towards them, as Immanuel stated to her several times before her death. After Siena plays the tapes, the remaining members decide to turn Karen's group into an actual activist group for animal rights and they said they would stay out of trouble and try to spread awareness about their cause in different ways. We tell them that this is a great idea and they leave the scene. We then ask Darwin what happened to him and he said that he received a letter from Immanuel, telling him to get the news sources to announce that Karen was a fraud. Since Karen saw this on Immanuel's phone, she went to the broadcasting station and kidnapped Darwin. We realized that although Karen was insane, there was a chance that she might know something about the pro-war group since she read all of a double agent's texts and went through his phone and also raided several American and Xinyahnese ships, stopping a marine war completely. When we asked Karen about this, she said that they just raided the Xinyahnese ships and that Immanuel must have taken the opportunity after realizing that she wouldn't back down and got some of the animal rights members to raid the American ships too and stop a marine war. Karen then said that she went to the president, the late Cain Huffman for something she doesn't remember, but she does remember that he ended up paying her to distract the Xinyahnese ships so the Americans could destroy them all. We realized that this was unethical and Karen said that she doesn't want a war either and told us to go back to her apartment, as that's where she stored all the information, including the files the president gave her. We know a battle is currently taking place in Xinyahn and we don't know when the wars will hit the United States, so we hurry to her apartment. We then find stacks upon stacks of files and send them to our tech expert, Winter Rowe to sift through. When we enter her office, however, we find her holding one of the files, standing still. When we asked Winter what the problem was, she freaked out and said that our problems are just beginning and that the Pro-War Group is far more powerful than we realize. When we ask Winter to elaborate, she told us that Cain accidentally gave Karen some extra files that nobody was supposed to see and that there's no way we can possibly stop the war. We tell her to calm down and she tells us everything. She said that Cain joined the Pro-War group shortly before his murder and that he wanted a war with Xinyahn because the country would become far more reliant on him to give out orders, making him go down in history as a hero. Cain found out about it after Bharabhuti slipped to him during an interrogation that his brother, Amar, was a member of it. Cain then joined the group and played along perfectly. Winter said that nobody else close to him knew about this and that it was very top-notch. However, this leaves one giant question: why would Amar get Finlay to kill him? We then decide to pay another visit to Karen to see if she can shed any light on this and she told us that Amar is nearby and that him and a few other members of the Pro-War Group are planning to escape soon. She told us where they all planned to meet and pay her for raiding the ships but that we should disguise ourselves as her and go instead to collect the money and arrest them all. We then realize that one of our team members looks a little bit like Karen and would do find in disguise as her: Winter. We then disguise her as Karen and tell her to go to the coordinates Karen sent us. Winter then reported to us that a helecopter was coming down onto a landing pad nearby and that she suspects the Pro-War group members are in there. However, as soon as she tells us this, we hear an explosion and then she hangs up and her gear stops working. We then rush to the coordinates Karen gave us and couldn't find Winter anywhere. We then look around and we find a corpse in the drivers' seat of the helecopter which is so badly burnt we can't identify them, so we send them to the morgue to see if they can find out who it is through dental records. We then look around the helecopter and realize that the back propellers were shot at by the killer and that it's likely how the helecopter went down. We then get a call from Dennis, who panicks and said that he just got a call from the prison warden who said that Karen escaped from prison after we ran to the location she gave us, which makes us believe that this was a trap gone wrong.
