## Events of Across America

### A Mayor Problem

After mayor Bernard Carter was murdered, the team found out that the sheriff was making deals with shady people and silenced Bernard who threatened to snitch on him. The team did some digging to try and find who this "shady person" was and found out that it was the leader of the Italian mafia organization known as the Dezario Crime Family.

### Against The Law Himself

Tony was first interrogated after the team at the crime scene where sheriff Abraham Miller was murdered. The team immediately realized who Tony was and asked him about his shady deals with Abraham. He denied them and said he was a simple businessman who didn't resort to shady deals in order to make money. He told the team to leave him alone because he had an important meeting to attend soon.

Tony was interrogated again after the team found security footage of him making deals with Bernard. When the team confronted him with the evidence, he confessed to making deals with Abraham in order to make sure none of his lackeys would get arrested for carrying out his work.

Tony was found to be innocent after the team arrested farmer Mitch Reyes for Abraham's murder.

### Five-Star Murder

Tony was later interrogated after the team found a check he signed at the restaurant where chef Beverly Markham was murdered. When the team asked Tony about this, he said that the restaurant was his favourite and that he went to it a lot since he lived in Miami. When the team asked him about Beverly's murder, he said he didn't know who she was and wished the team luck in solving yet another murder.

Tony was interrogated again after chef Finn Tucker called Beverly incompetent because she was always making out with Tony. When the team asked him about this, Tony said that he found Beverly attractive and asked her out on a date, to which she agreed. Their relationship got sexual quickly and she often ended up ditching work to make out with him.

Tony was found to be innocent after the team arrested fast food worker Ricky Hernandez for Beverly's murder.

### Twice As Dead

Tony was later interrogated after the team found a cigar with his DNA at the entrance of the Shadow Ghosts' headquarters. When the team asked Tony about what he was doing there, he said that the Shadow Ghosts were quickly taking over Miami, which his mob had a strong influence over and that he needed to act fast. Tony said he followed one of the Shadow Ghosts to their headquarters but quickly ran away after he turned around and spotted him.

Tony was interrogated again after the team found out the hotel Jeffrey was murdered at was bought by Tony. When the team asked him about why Shadow Ghosts member Jeffrey Jordan would be at his hotel, let alone die there, Tony said that he broke Jeffrey out of prison in exchange for information about the Shadow Ghosts, which Jeffrey was more than willing to give him.

Tony was found to be innocent after the team arrested private investigator Monty Wildzap for Jeffrey's murder.

After Monty was arrested, the team came to Tony, asking him for help with the information he got about the Shadow Ghosts. Tony said that he knows they're planning to race another organization which isn't his mafia group to the White House to try and take it over.

### Murder At The Beach

Tony was later interrogated after Tony's bag was found next to model Adele Cortez's tent. When the team asked him about this, he said he didn't know who Adele was and that he just went to the beach for a few hours to cool off after the last murder investigation.

Tony was interrogated again after the team found an image of Tony and Adele making out hiding in the sand. When the team asked Tony about his affair, he said that he flirted with Adele after her beach photoshoot and they soon started making out shortly after. Tony said he didn't even know her name but recognized her on the photo.

Tony was found to be innocent after the team arrested photographer Zavier Otterson for Adele's murder.

### Burning Up The Evidence

Tony was later interrogated after a recent mugshot of his was found on one of the police desks. When asked about this, Tony said that he was recently arrested for tax evasion but after paying them, he managed to get himself out.

Tony was interrogated again after the team found a note from the late coroner Ayden Divine, telling Tony that he will find and get him. When the team asked him about this, Tony said that he also acted as a landlord and that Ayden's parents weren't paying their rent, so he kicked them out. Ayden was infuriated by this and tried threatening Tony into giving them back their house.

In the end, it was revealed that Tony was Ayden's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, it was revealed that Tony was hypnotized by the hypnotist and was forced against his will to kill Ayden by him in orer to send a message to the team to stop digging around. Tony then non-fatally shot several team members and managed to escape police custody.

### Murder Details

Tony was found beheaded and leaning on a rock at the Wellington park in broad daylight. The morgue said that the murder was incredibly messy based on how the head looked like it had been ripped off. However, the coroner concluded that the weapon used to behead Tony must have not been that sharp, meaning it would've taken a few swings for the killer to have finally fully beheaded Tony, which must have been incredibly long and painful. However, based on the wound, the coroner managed to confirm that the axe swung from the right side, meaning the killer must have been using their right hand, meaning the killer is right-handed.

### Relationship with Suspects

Believed dead Abraham Miller blamed Tony for his murder, saying that it wouldn't have happened if Tony didn't force him to turn corrupt. Believed dead Bernard Carter also blamed Tony for his murder, saying that he caught Abraham dealing with Tony which in return caused his murder. Believed dead Gus Washington used to date Tony's wife, which infuriated Tony. Believed dead Kirk Patterson felt that Tony wasn't loyal to the Believed Dead's cause. Tony's wife Olivia Dezario heard about the instances where Tony cheated on her with Beverly and Adele and was infuriated by the news.

### Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Bernard.

Upon admitting to the murder, Bernard said that Tony broke out of his hypnosis and ordered his mob to find and kill all the Believed Dead members, causing the hypnotist to order his latest revived member to have Tony taken care of.
