Marina Dormer
Marina is Sonja's mother, who hires your agency to track down her daughter. She tells Mafalda that Sonja calls her every morning, so the lack of call has her rattled. She also states that Sonja had been acting odd all week prior to her disappearance. Sonja seemed unusually distant and troubled by something, telling her mother that she was in over her head and worried but wouldn't give specifics. On the last day Marina spoke to her daughter, she was told Sonja was attending a fundraising gala at Calloway Museum.

Rahim Madani
Trystan claims that they slept together. Rahim confessed that Sonja ended their relationship after discovering he was married. Upon obtaining extra information, he will mention Sonja recently joined a strange group as she canceled their dates at the last minute multiple times, on questioning, she will become defensive. When you snoop his house and find the three-headed statue, he tells you the statue was a gift from Sonja and he cannot sell it to anyone else since no one wants it.

The Killer
The killer drugged Sonja with chloroform, and later with novogliterol (also known as "glitter" - an expensive European party drug) injected above her heart, which was used like a truth serum. You determine that the murder was premeditated due to the fact how "clean" she was killed.
