The five people were labelled as suspects: Raymond Mallette (special agent), Randy Crew (mechanic), Anna Austin (horror novelist), Alan Mitsubishi (Ishihashi Cars chairman), and Chanel Zhang (female rally racer).

While searching for evidence, Fatiha found a severed hands of the victim and were attacked by Screechy again. The player drags Fatiha into the police car and hits Screechy so they can go back to LSIA. Chief MacLeod learns that other evil clowns out there before Halloween Horror Night parade.

Later, the special agent Raymond Mallette threatened to shoot the vice-president because of his girlfriend Chanel was being interrogated, and searched for Deathstalker's sinister plans for clones the evil clowns. The team then incriminated novelist Anna Austin as Latifa's killer.

After denying involvement, Anna admitted she killed Latifa because she wants to writing her horror novel about evil clowns attack (akin of IT). Anna was attacked by Screechy while searching for a perfect horror novel. Screechy want her to kill Latifa because she tried to expose the Project Deathstalker's plans and threatened to kill Anna for blackmailed his boss if she did not fulfill her wish. Feeling frightening and helplessness, Anna disguises as an evil clown and hiding into Latifa's car until she attacks and severed her hand during her stop so she can write her own horror novel based on real life. Judge Pereira sentenced her to 50 years in jail for the murder of Latifa Gadon, manipulating Ishihashi Inc. and bribe on chairman Mitsubishi.
