The body of social worker Sandy Grimmes is found tied up and with her hands cut off with a hatchet within the Aloki Indian Settlement.

!!Tropes:
*AnArmAndALeg: The victim was killed by having her hands cut off and left to die from blood loss.
*BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Solomon Grimmes fell in love with Inaya, an Aloki woman, after the latter saved his life and the lives of the pilgrim people that arrived to Grimsborough.
*ConnectedAllAlong: During the case, you have to deal with two main subplots: the death of Sandy Grimmes, and a centuries-old love story between an Aloki man, an Aloki woman, and a pilgrim man. However, as the case begins to unravel, you discover that these two are indeed connected: Solomon Grimmes, the victim's ancestor, stole the great Keme's wife. In response, Keme made a vow to the spirits that if a descendant of Solomon Grimmes ever stole another Aloki's love, they would be killed by having their hands cut off. So when Sandy began to date Shanaya's ex-husband, she decided to kill her this way.
*CoolOldLady: Anakee, the Aloki shaman who helps you throughout the investigation with old objects from his ancestors.
*CreepyGasStationAttendant: Ron Riggs, a redneck station owner who had threatened the victim if she didn't remove Keanu (an Aloki teenager troublemaker) from his gas station, as she was forcing him to work there. Surprisingly, he isn't the murderer.
*CursedItem: The non-Aloki victim was wearing an Indian panther amulet that supposedly kills the wearer if they don't have Aloki ancestry, which was gifted to her by Delsin Peota, her Aloki boyfriend.
*{{Diary}}: During this case, you encounter the diary of Solomon Grimmes, a pilgrim ancestor of the victim whose life was saved when the Aloki tribe rescued them from the harsh winter.
*FieryCoverUp: During the Additional Investigation, you manage to discover another sordid truth about Chief King: years ago, he stole some gas cans from a nearby police station then set fire to the Aloki Settlement, burning the documents that proved the Aloki people deserved more of the land of Grimsborough due to the Crimson Order ordering him to do so.
*GreenAroundTheGills: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_3172.png Jones gets this]] while smoking from Anakee's ceremonial pipe to perform a MentalTimeTravel.
*HostageSituation: Ramirez gets taken hostage by Keanu Ashokan, an Aloki teenager who thought the victim wanted to lock him in a home for young offenders and believes Ramirez wanted to do the same.
*InjunCountry: The Aloki Indian Settlement, where the descendants of the original Grimsborough inhabitants have been living for generations.
*LoveHurts: During this case, you learn a tragic love story: Keme and Inaya, two people from the Aloki tribe, were deeply in love, but Inaya left him for pilgrim Solomon Grimmes after she saved the lives of him and his people. For this, a heartbroken Keme made a decree to the great spirits that if a descendant of his ever met a descendant of Solomon, the latter would be killed by the former by having their hands cut off, which is exactly what happened to the victim. Of course, this makes Delsin, a descendant of Keme, a strong suspect during the case.
*MagicalNativeAmerican: You meet Anakee during this case, an Aloki shaman who helps you "travel" back to 1643 via a shamanic ritual to help you solve the case.
*MentalTimeTravel: Like las time, you do this to solve the case, though this time you must smoke from a peace pipe provided by a MagicalNativeAmerican.
-->'''Anakee:''' The peace pipe will help you envision the Aloki village as it was 4 centuries ago! Believe me, it will be as if you were truly there!
*ShoutOut:
** Shanaya Peota resembles WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}.
** In the Gas Station Shop Scene, there are stickers with the element abbreviations [[Series/BreakingBad "Br" and "Ba"]].
*TipisAndTotemPoles: How the Aloki people lived in the past, according to the MentalTimeTravel you perform.
*TrashyTrailerHome: The Aloki Indian Settlement has been mostly relegated to this.
*WomanScorned: Shayana Peota, Delsin's ex-wife, killed Sandy after she stole Delsin from her
*YouNeedABreathMint: One of the killer's traits is that they have a bad breath.
-->'''Jones:''' You're telling us we're looking for a homicidal maniac with bad breath, Grace?
-->'''Grace:''' Exactly! So you'll be following your nose a lot in this investigation, <Player's Name>!
