Victim

* Towa-Ulta Pora

Suspects

* Desmond Niwii
* Jamal Tinibu
* Alannah Pora
* Clayton Tamarua
* Shane Finnigan

Killer

* Alannah Pora

Motive

* Naing: Alannah?! How the hell could you kill your own father?!
* Alannah: What?! I could never!
* Naing: Your knowledge of scuba gear and diving mechanics gave you away! You went with your own father to this voyage knowing damn well it would be his last! That’s cold!
* Alannah: How could you say something like that?! I loved my father!
* Naing: We found your DNA on your father’s scuba gear! We know you did it!
* Alannah: I told you, I gave him a hug before he dove off! That doesn’t prove I did anything!
* Naing: Nice scar there, Alannah…where’d you get it? We know you got the scar after sabotaging the equipment when the wrench scratched your arm…we found your skin cells on it…
* Naing: We know you were captain of the debate team in high school, but that doesn’t mean you can get away with murder! Now tell us why you killed your father!
* Alannah: Dammit!
* Alannah: Fine, yes, you got me, I killed my father!
* Alannah: Life has been hell for me ever since I started college! Dad said he couldn’t afford to help pay for everything and told me to get a job!
* Alannah: I NEEDED that money! No job I got was paying me enough!
* Alannah: I asked my dad to listen to reason, but he said I had to learn how to survive for myself in the world!
* Alannah: Since he wasn’t willing to help me out and practically disowned me, I decided to disown him!
* Alannah: I was up all night trying to research how to make the murder look like an accident…when you guys confronted me about my search history, I just said it was for a book I wanted to write to get money…but I had different plans…
* Alannah: I educated myself on scuba diving gear with the full intent of sabotaging my father’s and letting him drown underwater…
* Naing: He didn’t deserve that! What he did was a bit cruel but can you imagine how dreadful his last few minutes alive were?! Being all alone, scared, and vulnerable?! Having no idea what’s going on with the only certain thing being that he’s going to die in a few minutes?!
* Alannah: It was the easiest way for me to get away with it! And besides, as you know, I fully planned to sue Niwii’s company and get compensation money from that, too…I know that back when Desmond’s sister was in charge of the company, there were a few murders linked to the company…nobody would look twice at it!
* Naing: Wow, you really had this all figured out…but too bad detective and I came just in time to put a stop to you and your vicious plans! You’re under arrest!
* Fran: Alannah Pora…you’re under arrest for the murder of your own father! How do you plead?!
* Alannah: Guilty, your honor! I needed the money and he wouldn’t lend a helping hand like a father is supposed to!
* Fran: But instead of getting a job, which is what the normal person would do…you decided to kill your father for inheritance money and then win a lawsuit against Niwii Underwater Exploration Incorporated to set you up for life, correct?
* Alannah: Yes, your honor.
* Fran: I see…well, this is a pretty open and shut case for me. Alannah Pora, for the first-degree patricide of Towa-Ulta Pora and conspiracy regarding the lawsuit you were willing to win on fraudulent claims, you are sentenced to life imprisonment with a chance of parole in 50 years! Court is adjourned!

Additional Investigation

After arresting Alannah, we tell Desmond that Alannah isn’t going to sue him and that the equipment was indeed sabotaged. We then ask Shane what he’s doing here and he tells us he wanted to go on vacation to clear his head after being released from prison. We do n’t buy this for a second, but we realize that if we want to extract information from Shane, we’re going to have to try to gain his trust, as he definitely has some information we could use to our benefit against Mataio. However, we see on the press that someone has just blown up Easter Island knowing it was sacred to the Papuan people and the act is being deemed as a terrorist threat and an act of war to try and get Papua New Guinea and the other surrounding islands into the conflict brewing between Africa, Europe, and Asia.
