Aliana Velasquez
If you help Aislinn question Jacob, the security guard who had deleted the footage of the night of her murder, he tells what he had seen on the footage. He had seen the black SUV lingering outside of the gates, and a guy enter through the pedestrian gate. He was going to log the information but someone had called the guard booth directly, stating that he was calling for Aliana and that she wanted the footage deleted. Jacob tells you that only Aliana and Marcus had that private number of the guard booth, and it wasn't a strange request since Aliana had asked Jacob to delete footage in the past.
As you dig into Aliana's past activities, you find footage of a man with his baseball cap pulled low just like the photo of the man outside the pedestrian gate at her home. If you continue to dig deeper into the research, Will -a private investigator- gives you information that you share with the others. If you don't research deeper, Aislinn discovers the information and shares it with you and the others: a police report filed a few months ago when Aliana's car was broken into at the Hotel Papillon. On the report lists Peter Koenig as her companion.
Marcus claims that as an environmentalist, Aliana hated people like Koenig. She believed that his chemicals were causing more damage to the planet than anyone seemed to realize.
Sadie McGraw
