"Tex".
Clue- Lipstick
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the handbag laying on the ground near the victim. It's next to a
hairbrush. Open it and further examine the lipstick inside. It hasn't been
used, which means the killer must've brought some of his own.

The last piece is a match.
Clue- Size 8 footprints
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More of an update. Examine the footprint casts next to the piece of rope for
some more insight. After this, go over to the body and examine it. You'll just
make a remark, but looking at it stops the investigation music, so you might
as well.
Get on the phone after you're done here. The victim's car has turned up in the
parking lot of the Belmont High School. Another reason to head over there
right now.
___________________

At this point you can charge either of the suspects. Your partner seems to
think Mr. Moller is the killer, but putting a child molester behind bars is
never a bad thing. Either way, it's up to you. Charge someone to close this
case.
The Silk Stocking Murder
(Page Top)___________
|Crime Scene|
_______________________________________________________________________________
At the crime scene, examine the body. You don't get any clues, but you do

when you get to the fire escape and you'll see that you have to go up, onto
the rooftop. Up here, follow the blood trail to some kind of pigeon coop.
There's an envelope inside labeled A. Maldonado. There's no letter in the
envelope though. Hop to the next rooftop and keep an eye out on the ground
along the blood trail for some make-up. Climb the pipe at the end and you'll
come across the victim's ring hanging on the next rooftop. Keep going and
you will come across a bucket of blood with a paint brush laying next to it.
Clue- Library card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the blood trail you find the victim's handbag. Look inside to

the desk in here for a wooden box. You'll notice three dice coming out of it.
They act like a combination. You'll have to rotate them until each reads the
right number. This should be familiar. Pull out the dot pattern note you
found at the crime scene. The combination is 2, 5, 3. Inside you'll find the
disassembled charm bracelet.
Clue- Scalpel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look on the other desk in the back room for the bloody scalpel.

The Quarter Moon Murders
(Page Top)______________________
|Central Police Station|
_______________________________________________________________________________
Clue- Black Dahlia letter; Clue- Shelley excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You start in the bottom floor, looking at more Dahlia letters. The poem book
and the Dahlia letter itself are both ultimately pointless, but the poem
excerpt is what you need to familiarize yourself with. You'll come across a
series of these excerpts and each one points to the next. The first one points
to Pershing Square.
_______________
|Pershing Square|
_______________________________________________________________________________
Clue- Social Security card; Clue- Second excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Climb the fountain and you'll find Elizabeth Short's social security card.
Short is famous for being the Black Dahlia murder. You'll also find the
second Shelley excerpt. The "curved roof" portion is your most obvious clue-
it points to a domed roof. The mountain's frozen tears/long diamond spires
thing is pretty telling as well. Go to your main map and hover over landmarks
that you've found. Ones you haven't found but that are relevant will now show
up as question marks, so you shouldn't have to go running around searching for
them. Keep looking at the descriptions until you find something that matches.
_______________
|Hall of Records|
_______________________________________________________________________________
You'll find this just up and to the right of the Central Police Station on
your map.
Clue- Deidre Moller's watch; Clue- Third excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow your partner up to the top floor and into the maintenance room.
Climb the ladder and walk across the line to get onto the chandelier. You'll
have to maintain your balance on this line, though if you don't, you'll still
catch yourself and you can just pull yourself back up. Once you're on the
chandelier, you'll find the watch and the next excerpt. Before you can read too
much of it, the chandelier will start to collapse. Swing it back and forth
until Cole jumps off of it. Now you can read the excerpt. "Man's eye and ear
roofed over Sculpture and Poesy" is something you need to take literally.
"Where science bedews his daedal wings" is another telling hint.
______________
|Public Library|
_______________________________________________________________________________
This Library is on 5th Street, between Flower and Grand.
Clue- Antonia's Medallion; Clue- Fourth excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll have to do a lot of climbing to get up to the top of the library.
There's also some balancing acts involved. Once up there though, you'll find
the medallion and the next excerpt. This whole excerpt deals with death and
destruction. The death part is something to remember. "Jammed in the hard,
black deep" is a pretty telling clue.
_________________
|Westlake Tar Pits|
_______________________________________________________________________________
On your map, from the Library, keep going left. You should notice there's a
vertical line where the roads stop going diagonally and start going
horizontally. The Tar Pits are at the bottom of that vertical line, below 9th
Street.
Clue- Theresa Taraldsen's shoe; Clue- Fifth excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll have to do some walking around in the tar to get to the island in the
center. The platforms surrounded by posts are stable, but the others will sink
when you step on them, so don't take your time. When you get to the island
you'll find the shoe and the next excerpt. The main clue here is the sphere.
It's a sphere, but light and music pass right through it. The landmark is
really close to you, if it helps.
______________________
|L.A. County Art Museum|
_______________________________________________________________________________
Just above the Westlake Tar Pits.
Clue- Celine Henry's Garnet Ring; Clue- Sixth excerpt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll have to make your way through a hedge maze for this. At the first
intersection go right. Turn right at the second intersection and then
immediately left. Keep going straight all the way to the center of the maze.
You'll find the ring and another excerpt. "Thrones, altars, judgement-seats,
and prisons" and "sceptres, tiaras, swords, and chains" both point to the
setting of the next place. "The ghosts of a no-more-remembered fame" may also
be helpful.
_______________

From the Museum, follow 9th Street back down into Central L.A. until you see
Francisco Street. The set is here, between 8th and 9th.
Clue- Evelyn Summers' ring; Clue- Seventh excerpt

You'll have to get up to the throne. Use the staircase in the back. You'll
eventually jump onto a platform that falls apart and you'll have to balance it
while your partner finds a way off. When he drops the plank, move the platform
forward and Cole will automatically jump off. Use the ladders to get down to
the throne, where you'll find the ring and the final excerpt. "Thorn-wounded
brow" and "So thy sick throes shake not that crucifix" are two pretty obvious
hints for the final location. After you put it back, the set starts to
collapse, so get out of there.

From the Intolerance Set, look down and to the left and you'll see this
landmark. Enter the church and you'll be confronted by the Black Dahlia Killer,
who turns out to be Garret Mason, the temp bartender from "The Red Lipstick
Murder". He escapes when you move forward, so head into the house next to the
church. You'll find Mason's own personal torture chamber in here. Head down
into the tunnels and be careful. Mason likes to wait for you to come around a
corner, then blind fire with his shotgun from the next corner. Keep chasing
him. Chances are you won't be able to take him down until he reaches the end
of the tunnel or gets outside. It empties out into the cemetery, so he'll
take cover behind a tombstone. Put him down to close this and so many other
cases. You'll be promoted to Vice.
