	—Case Teaser

Hit It Out the Park is a case featured in Criminal Case as the fourth case of The Mystery Continues. It is the fourth case set in the Wolf Street district of Concordia.

Plot

The player and Isaac headed to the picnic party in Wolf Park to speak to the host, author Kirstie Tomas, about her vault being robbed five years ago. When they arrived, however, they found no sign of Kirstie. After searching the area further, they found her dead, impaled by tree branches. The pair first questioned gardener Tianna Ward, architect Kevin Stein and singer Camilla Walsh who was writing an informative book on the music industry with the victim. The player then heard from Giulietta who explained that she had discovered where Kirstie went shortly before her death.

Giulietta confessed that she discovered Kirstie was a big fan of the botanical greenhouse on the edge of the park and would often go there to clear her head. With this new information, Isaac and the player headed there and suspected exchange officer Kelly Moonstone and pianist Philippe Bouchard. The duo then received a call from Commissioner Ramirez who declared that Kirstie's office had been raided. Without further delay, the team raced back to the office and discovered Phillipe had raided it in order to find the love letters he wrote to the victim. Finally, Kirstie's killer was revealed as Tianna Ward.

Tianna confessed to killing Kirstie but confessed that she never wanted to. Tianna explained that Kirstie was writing a new adventure novel and was basing a character in the book after her. She recounted how she was excited by Kirstie's announcement until Tianna discovered Kirstie was making her the villain. Furious that Kirstie was painting her in a bad light, Tianna begged Kirstie at the party to change it. When Kirstie refused, Tianna pushed her in anger, the force resulting in Kirstie being impaled on the tree branches. In court, Tianna was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder by Judge Oakley.

Post-trial, Isaac asked the player to accompany him in asking Camilla to perform for his daughter, Collette Pontmercy, as she was a big fan of Camilla's singing. When the duo asked Camilla, she requested their help in finding Kirstie's notes on the book they were writing beforehand. As Kirstie planned to announce the book at the party, the pair searched there and found Kirstie's original notes before returning them to Camilla, who performed for Collette.

Meanwhile, Maddie accompanied the player in searching Kirstie's office for more clues on the vault robberies five years ago. While doing so, they discovered that Kirstie had hired journalist turned media mogul Katherine Woolf to investigate. Katherine told the duo that there was no evidence and the trail ran cold, causing the case to be left unsolved. Katherine, however, did reveal that the Concordian Police Department were in charge of the case. Maddie and the player then asked Commissioner Ramirez about the case who confessed that they only brought one person in for questioning: Samuel Waldorf-Ridgewood. With this new evidence, they confronted Samuel. Samuel started panicking and insisted that they had no evidence, recounting how they brought him in for questioning due to his cigar being found on the scene of the crime.

At the end of the case, Arthur informed the team that they needed to keep a close eye on Samuel along with looking out for more leads in the puzzling case.
