Sandra Sharpe

**Sandra Sharpe** is the owner of Jazz Pizzazz Jazz Studios and the first 911 caller. She is voiced by Christy Meyer.

## History

Sandra is a life-long jazz run enthusiast (not the marching band technique, but rather a combination of jazz dance and running/jogging), who has been running her own dance studio tutoring the style as a mixture of fitness aerobics and dance in Gallows Creek since at least the late 1960's. Though she has remained passionate for jazz run, her landlord, influential businessman Theodore C. Gallows, had been regularly increasing the lease, thus threatening the existence of her studio and her livelihood in general.

In the early hours of September 3rd, 1968, while she was out for a nightly jazz run by the river at Whistling Point, Sandra found the lifeless body of a teenage boy floating in the nearby waters. At 4 a.m. she called the town sheriff's office to report the discovery, with the arriving Sheriff Matthews identifying the corpse as George Barrow. Not long after though, Sandra was confronted by Clive Elforth who ordered her to change her story to instead say that she found George in the reservoir on the other side of town. Sandra was persuaded after it was agreed that the rent for her studio would stop going up in exchange for her testimony.

At around midnight to the 3rd of September, 1987, Sandra had driven to the edge of town for a jazz run session when she was accosted by the Whistling Man. She managed to outrun him and get into her unlocked car at the parking lot, but could not start it due to dropping her car keys while fleeing. As the killer is busy checking all the other cars for her, Sandra is able to call 911, but is reconnected to Forrest Nash of 189.16 - The Scream, with Forrest having to tell her that the police isn't available and that he will have to handle the call for them. Sandra tells him of her predicament and says that she might be able to hotwire the car with his help, as she has a toolbox stashed under her spare sweatbands and hangs up to get it out. Meanwhile Peggy tells Forrest to find a car magazine from the station's motor show hosts, which contains info on "keyless entry techniques".

Said magazine is located in the bathrooms, taken by John Hedges after taking some of Brad’s food. A letter addressed to Brad is located on his desk, with a sticky note from John stuck to it. If you then go to the desk at the back of the office room you will find yet another note written by him addressed to the Timberline Twins explaining that he has taken the magazine to the bathroom with him.

Sandra calls again when Forrest is ready and listens to his instructions on starting the engine. The correct choices are to unscrew the steering column, strip and twist the red and yellow wires and strip the purple wire and brush it against the exposed wires. This will rev up the car, allowing Sandra to drive out back into town. She tells Forrest that he will have free entry into her jazz studio before hanging up. Peggy will chime in with an advert for the Timberline Twins' motor show for their indirect help in saving her.

If she survived, at around 3 a.m. Sandra is called after Virginia Sullivan to find out more about her role in the death of George Barrow, after her name is uncovered in the basement storage. Forrest must be direct about knowing of her involvement, but needs to avoid being interrogative, i.e. using loaded language or authoritative phrases, as this will cause her to shut down and hang up.

During the Whistling Man's interview, Marie Campbell will bring up how Sandra helped cover up George's death by lying about where his body was discovered. If Sandra survived, Forrest will question Teddy Gallows Jr. on his father's involvement in coercing her with threats of eviction, to which he quips "It's Gallows Creek, not Sharpe Creek".

## Possible Deaths

* If Forrest tells Sandra to hit the steering wheel with the hammer, it will expectedly activate the car alarm, causing the Whistling Man to find and kill her.
* If Forrest instructs Sandra to unscrew the column, but gives her wrong advice on the wires, she will either trigger the car alarm or turn the radio on, leading to the Whistling Man finding her, or, if she touches the live wire on the third step, she will be fatally electrocuted.

## Trivia

* Unlike the other possible victims, Sandra will angrily threaten Forrest when he fails to save her, promising to pummel him with a "mean kickball change" before being killed.
* On the town map, her business is only called "Jazz Studio", while during her follow-up call, she identifies it by the full name "Jazz Pizzazz Jazz Studios".
