Logan Knightley

Logan Knightley, also known by most people as the Neo-Dracula, was the victim in The Stakes Are High (Case #4).

Murder Details
Logan was found dead next to the food table in the annual sci-fi and fantasy convention.

Ferdinand Amado said that he was pierced in the heart. The killer then removed the weapon, causing him to slowly bleed to death. Logan mustered enough energy to write down something on a piece of cloth from the table with his blood: "SHE KILLED ME". He held on to it tight as he succumbed to the blood loss. Alden Holmes confirmed that the writing was of a male's, and simple logic dictated that the killer could not have falsified the evidence, so his writing was accepted as evidence.

Jackson Walters and the player went to the Ideal Beauty Costume Shop, where they found a paper bag near the mannequins. They found a bloody wooden stake inside, which they delivered to Ferdinand for inspection. Ferdinand registered it as the murder weapon as the tip matched the wounds on the victim's heart and the victim's blood was all over the stake. He said that he found traces of makeup in the wooden stake, meaning that the killer wore makeup.

Killer and Motives
The killer was revealed to be cosplayer Flora Ward.

At first, Flora insisted on not knowing the victim personally, so she could not have possibly killed him. After Jackson flirted with her, Flora broke down and let slip that she did in fact know Logan. Flora admitted that she killed Logan.

Flora said that she met Logan in a costume shop. Flora felt love at first sight while Logan felt a budding romance. Soon enough, they were dating. In the convention however, Flora saw clear as day Logan making out with another woman. Flora ran away to the bathroom crying. There, she found a wooden stake. She resolved to kill Logan and proceeded to mask herself so Logan would not recognize her. Flora drove the wooden stake into Logan's heart but her mask fell. Logan recognized her as someone he knew, but he did not have enough strength to remember her identity, so he just left the cryptic message for the police. Flora was shipped to court.

Flora admitted guilt and regret to Judge Exodus Allegri. She said that the heat of the moment clouded her judgement and she sincerely thought that murder was the only option. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Aftermath
Jackson and the player found out that Erica Washington was the one Logan was seen by Flora kissing. From their conversation, Erica implied that she kissed Logan, not the other way around. She further revealed that he was probably reluctant.
