Decease Behind The Trees

Decease Behind The Trees is the third fanmade case in the Countryside district in PetersCorporal's fangame.

Case Background
The victim was a lawyer called Jacqueline Ramos. She was found in a field that belonged to the Jamin Family Company in a mud puddle with a shotgun.

The killer was a car parts seller named Roger Andrews, owner of a company called Thayst. Roger had just opened his company when Jacqueline came to him to talk about legal matters, as the car parts Roger was selling were stolen. Roger didn't want her to spoil everything just when he was starting. Jacqueline told him she had to visit her colleague (Ashley Jamin) to talk about his case. He asked her to give her a lift there, and when she got the field where Ashley was, he shot her and escaped in his car.

When he was arrested, he explained to the team his plan, which was a nonsense at all. With the rim of one of his wheels, he crafted the bullets for the murder, implying also a foundry in the case. It's not known why he did that. At the trial, Roger only said that he cared about his business. Judge Hall sentenced him to 50 years in jail with no chance for parole, both for killing Jacqueline and for selling stolen car parts.
