Cole Webster

Cole Webster (1969-2005) was the victim in The Sense of Death (Case #1 of The Origins).

## Description

Cole was a 36 year old cult member. He has black hair, blue eyes, and a black and burgundy shirt, gray earrings, and a light gray t-shirt underneath.

## Death

Cole was found lumped on a wall in a dark alleyway with his nose cut out by a rope and hands tied together.

## Relationship With Suspects

Near Cole's body was a gift from famous writer Richard Adams. When we asked Richard about Cole's death, he said he was saddened by it as him and Cole were friends and that he has no idea who could've murdered him. Max Snowcone and the player later find a locked door that leads into the building that Cole's body is lying against. We open the door and find Ronda Warner's bar. When we asked her if she knew Cole, she said she didn't know the name. She then told us that the bar is closed but she can get Max a drink if he desires it. We later find a bag of marijuana hidden for Cole at the local cemetery, which was given to him by businessman James Barry. When we asked James about this, he said that he's been sneaking drugs for Cole for years and that he has nothing against Cole. Later on, we find roses given to Cole by his girlfriend, Clara Spookman. When we deliver the bad news to Clara, she starts to cry and runs off before we can ask her any more questions. Back in the local graveyard, we find a basketball with Cole's DNA on it, signed by a recent college graduate, who is now a famous basketball player from Quebec, named Elliot Desormeaux. We asked Elliot about Cole, but he said that he doesn't know Cole and assumed that he was just another basketball fan. We also found Cole's phone and a faded check at the cemetery. After Imogen Caulfield analyzed the Cole's phone, it was known that the last person he called was Ronda. Ronda said that Cole kept harassing her and that she wanted him to leave her alone. The faded check was for James Barry, which was over a thousand dollars. When we asked James about this, he said that he kept raising the prices for Cole's drugs and that he wasn't having any of it. He threatened to kill James if he didn't lower the prices. Later at the bar, we found a book about cults, which belonged to Richard, a picture showing Elliot beating up Cole, and a breakup letter to Cole from Clara. We asked Richard about the book about cults and he said that he was making a book about cults and that Cole's cult was particularly interesting. Cole, however, was refusing to share any information, so Richard decided to butter him up with presents, like the one the team found at the crime scene. Unfortunately, nothing worked and now Cole's dead, so Richard has to find someone else to write his book about. When we asked Elliot about him beating up Cole, he said that he often saw Cole at the bars, and Cole thought he was better than Elliot. As a response, Elliot often beat up Cole to show him who's boss. Cole threatened to call the police on Elliot and he stopped.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be James.

Upon admitting to the murder, James said that Cole discovered his many illegal trades and he wanted James to pay him in order to stay silent. James said that he had enough and that he wasn't going to let Cole bribe him any longer. This is when James cut Cole's nose off with a rope, as Cole always had his nose in James's business.

James was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
