Death of the Estranged

Death of the Estranged is the first fan made case by Saracenangel.

Case Background
The victim was Miriam Young, Amy Young's estranged mother, who was tied to Zack Taylor's lifeguard post with her throat slit and hands chopped off.

Zack proceeded to inform Amy and the player that he had discovered Miriam's body after coming ashore from rescuing a child from drowning at sea. The duo had to deliver the news to Amy's brother Duncan Young in his prison cell.

The killer was incriminated to be novelist Gaston Dumas, who also happened to be Duncan's former cellmate. He was told by Duncan during his prison stint how Miriam labelled him a failure after the accident that left him confined to a wheelchair and the constant arguments between Amy and the victim before they became estranged after Duncan's arrest. This angered Gaston greatly and upon his release from prison for thievery, arranged to meet with Miriam at the beach in Ocean Shore. After a heated argument, Gaston knocked Miriam unconscious, tied her to Zack's lifeguard post, chopped off her hands and slit her throat. Judge Dante sentenced Gaston to life imprisonment with no chance of parole.
