If One is Dead

If One is Dead (Case #24) is the twenty-fourth fanmade case and is the seventh and final case in the Sandy Hollow district by Tuttifruttichaitea.

Case Background
When it was revealed that antiquities dealer Delilah Hoffman was tortured and murdered, the Campbell City Police Department was told to visit the forest, in which her corpse was found in the dirt, only her appendages sticking out. Dale's autopsy revealed that Delilah was knocked out by some form of blunt object, in which she was subject to flogging before that. However, it was revealed that Delilah was killed by the garrote.

Five people were suspected of Delilah's murder investigation. One of them was Victor Walton, a local baker, suspected of murder three times before. Another was Ashley Russell, the mayor of a ghost town now suspected four times. There was also thug Harold Feldgrau, suspected of murder for the third time.
