## Events of Island Investigations

### Death From A Movie

Ariana was first interrogated after Leo and the player found a picture of her in actress Jocelyn Everett's dressing room. When the duo interrogated her about this, Ariana said that the actors and actresses often switched changing rooms around, so it would've been normal for a picture of her to be in it. She said that it could've been left by her or one of her exes and that she doesn't remember. When the duo asked her about Jocelyn, Ariana said she didn't know her personally but enjoyed her work and said she deserved her role. She said she heard about the murder and that it was an absolute shame she's dead and that now they'll have to find a new lead who she's sure won't be as talented as she was.

Ariana was interrogated again after lab chief Karen Wilson showed them a news interview where Ariana called Jocelyn an "old hag." When Leo and the player asked Ariana about this, she said that she originally auditioned to play Jocelyn's role and was infuriated when Jocelyn was chosen over her. Ariana was infuriated about this and called Jocelyn an "old hag" as retaliation. Ariana said that after Jocelyn's murder she was hoping to get the part, but it went to another actress instead.

Ariana was found to be innocent after the team arrested actress Layla Russell for Jocelyn's murder.

### Dead End

Ariana was later interrogated after Leo and the player found her at the news studio where model Zara Fox was brutally murdered with a stun gun. When Leo and the player sat Ariana down, she said that she was in shock and that she doesn't know who could've murdered someone in plain sight. She then asked the team if she was going to be killed too, and the team said they were certain she would be fine. Ariana then took a breath of relief and decided to take a walk to calm down.

Ariana was interrogated again after tech expert Nicholas Madigan told the team that Ariana and Zara were in the middle of a social media battle that lasted for months. When the duo asked Ariana about this, she told the team that a few months ago, Zara wore the same dress as her to her birthday party and that it was mortifying. Ariana kicked Zara out immediately before Zara went online to vent her frustration. Ever since then, Ariana and Zara have had a social media rivalry that conveniently ended when Zara was murdered.

In the end, it was revealed that Ariana was Zara's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Ariana told Leo and the player that Zara was a secret agent who was always sneaking around everywhere to try and get information. Ariana and her friends didn't tolerate this, so they decided to get rid of her. Ariana refused to say anything else.

Judge Sakura sentenced Ariana to life imprisonment.

After Ariana was arrested, Leo and the player decided to interrogate her to see if she'd crack and confess to anything else. Unfortunately, however, Ariana just said that her and her group are doing what's best for everyone on the island.

### Up-Stream

After solving businessman Albert Sailor's murder, beat cop Jordan Tage informed the team that Ariana had escaped from jail and was now on the run.

### Sacrifice The Weak

Ariana was later interrogated after Leo and the player found her at the scene where ritualist Claudia Liechtenstein, MI9 agent John Presley, and judge Takahashi Sakura were murdered. When the duo asked Ariana about the murders, she said that she didn't know who was chosen to sacrifice the weak, but that it wasn't her. Ariana then said she had some business to attend to, before vanishing.

Ariana was interrogated again after the team found John's phone and realized that she was on it. When the duo asked her about this, Ariana said that she was trying to flirt with John in order to get more information on the MI9 and who their other members are. Ariana said that ever since Zara tried to spy on her group, they've had to be extra careful now that they knew the MI9 was onto them, so Ariana decided to flirt with one of their most important members in order to get extra information. Ariana said that she was close, but John still refused to cooperate with her.

Ariana was found to be innocent after the team arrested ritualist Amber Montoya for Claudia, John, and Sakura's murders.

### Murder Details

Ariana was found in Aurelio's underground prison with hand marks around her neck. Karen said that the marks on Ariana's neck were clearly strangulation marks which must have come from the killer's bare hands. Karen also noted several defense wounds on Ariana's body, which means she must've put up a fight against the killer. Karen then said that she found traces of oranges on Ariana's neck wounds, meaning the killer must've eaten an orange right before killing her.

### Relationship With Suspects

Ariana kidnapped coroner Julia Sanchez and informant Jordan Foster and left them without food for days. During the ritual, Ariana suspected lab chief Karen Wilson was spying on them for the team. However, after bringing this up with the rest of the Eagle News members, they all decided to grill Karen, who told them fake information in order to gain their trust. Weapons expert Caylus Cross went on a date with Ariana back during the team's investigations in Little Hollywood and they were a couple for a few days, before Ariana cheated on him. MI9 leader Fiona Wells had been chasing Ariana around Santa Matnette ever since she escaped from prison.

### Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Karen.

Upon admitting to the murder, Karen revealed that Ariana was the one who kidnapped the team and took them hostage. However, after locking the team in prison, Karen managed to break out and was spotted trying to free the rest of the team by Ariana. After a short chase, Karen decided to face Ariana. After a long fight, Karen managed to overpower Ariana and ended up strangling her.
