* Austio Richardson

Suspects

* Assur Gæirmudsson
* Luz Vikini
* Roshawna Richardson
* Josephine Verdant
* Valentino Ortiz

Killer

* Luz Vikini

Motive

* Naing: Luz Vikini, you’re under arrest for the murder of Austio Richardson!
* Luz: Excuse me?! I would never!
* Naing: Nice try, but we’ve got all the evidence needed to incriminate you.
* Luz: That’s impossible?! I didn’t do anything!
* Naing: We found traces of Arroz Blanco on the poison vial used to kill Richardson, which you admitted was your favourite food!
* Luz: Enjoying Arroz Blanco doesn’t make me a murderer, does it?
* Naing: It doesn’t, but the wipes you used to used to cover up the murder were anti-scarring pads, and that’s a pretty large scar you’ve got there on your shoulder!
* Luz: So? I can guarantee I’m not the only one here with a scar!
* Naing: And on the scarring pads used to cover up the murder, we found your DNA. Is that enough evidence for you?
* Luz: …
* Luz: Fine, yes, I killed Austio!
* Naing: But why?! We know he had a crush on you and wanted to get with you, but was that enough to kill him?
* Luz: No! It’s because the bastard cheated on me first!
* Naing: Wait, what?!
* Luz: Austio and I were dating for two years! I was going to propose to him, but…
* Luz: His sister told me that he CHEATED on me with another girl! I wasted TWO YEARS of my life on that man, only for him to try and crawl back into my life at his sister’s party!
* Luz: That’s when I came up with a plan! I flirted with him enough to get to his drink, where I dropped a little poison in when he wasn’t looking…
* Luz: I left the table and told him I’d see him after the party, he had no idea what was going on until it was too late.
* Naing: And you don’t have ANY remorse for this?!
* Luz: No, why would I? Like I said, I wasted two years on him! He needed to go!
* Naing: And now you need to go behind bars! You’re under arrest, missy!
* Fran: Luz Vikini, you’re standing trial today for the murder of LanCorp scientist Austio Richardson. How do you plead?
* Luz: Guilty as charged, your honor! The bastard seriously thought I’d forget he cheated on me after dating me for TWO YEARS!
* Fran: I see…as surprising as this is, I’ve sentenced people who’ve killed for less…
* Fran: Luz Vikini, you’re sentenced to 35 years’ imprisonment for the murder of Austio Richardson! Court is adjourned!

The Storm's Arrival (8/24):

After arresting Luz, we ask Roshawna if she knew anything about her brother’s involvement with LanCorp. She said that he was always very secretive and had no idea what was going on in his life. She said that this was the first time she’s even seen him in years. We find his computer and realize that he was filled in on how the terrorists are attempting to steal vital military information hidden in a base in the Dominican Republic. Naing then says that she has to check up on Valentino Ortiz also. She said that Valentino was the survivor of a serial killer attack that she investigated a few years ago where the killer hid bombs and boxes and as soon as they hit the ground they blew up, and that solving this case was the reason she was put on the map and Enrica hired her. However, when Naing goes to find him, she realized that he traveled back to Puerto Rico. Naing said that this is very important for her so Enrica agrees to drop her off in Puerto Rico while the rest of the team goes to the Dominican Republic to investigate.
