Physical Items
Band Figurines
Observation #1
These are gifts from Shannon.
Observation #2
They are inside the merch bag.
- A figurine for each of the four band members.
Observation #3
The bottom of the bases spell out "Ultra Violet" and have symbols:
- Jake: "ULT" → STAR
- Marcus: "RAV" → MUSIC NOTE
- Ollie: "IOL" → SMILEY FACE
- Gabe: "ET" → HEART
Band Merch Bag
Observation #1
This is a gift from Shannon.
Observation #2
Inside the bag are figurines of the four band members.
Court Document
Observation #1
This details the lawsuit against Peter Bowman.
Observation #2
This furthers his motive for killing Jake, seeing as he had altered the band's contract to include life insurance policies.
- Killing Jake and collecting the policy money would help him pay off the lawsuit.
Elimination Notes
Observation #1
These are Shannon's notes for suspect elimination: suspect, alibi, location, and evidence.
- Gabe's alibi (taking a video) has been proven.
- Ollie's alibi (talking to stage manager) has been proven.
- Marcus's alibi (meeting a friend) has been proven.
- Dean's alibi (getting tea) has not been proven.
- Peter's alibi (park business) has not been proven.
- Rachel's alibi (talking to Gabe) has not been fully proven.
Observation #2 - Remaining Suspects
- Dean Castillo
- Peter Bowman
- Rachel Day
Manager Note
Observation
Jake was meeting with someone from a talent agency, meaning he was looking to get rid of Rachel as his manager.
Security Photo
Observation #1
This photo corroborates Marcus's witness statement from Episode 1 of him meeting a friend in the parking lot.
Observation #2
The sticker on the windshield of the car is from the rehab center. This man must be Marcus's sponsor.
Observation #3
The photo is timestamped at 1:31 P.M., which eliminates Marcus as a suspect.
Shannon Letter
Observation #1
Shannon tells us of her meeting with Ollie.
Observation #2
Of course, the cameras inside the studio happened to conveniently not be recording the day of the murder.
Observation #3
Shannon wants us to figure out who the email is from on the desktop.
Tabloid Article
Observation

Text Messages
Observation
These screenshots show time-stamped messages between Ollie and Ken.
- These corroborate Ollie's witness statement from Episode 1, eliminating him as a suspect.

Observation #4 - JUST4FUN → From Ollie → Anonymous
Note the symbols in the encrypted signature match those at the bottom of the bases on the band member figurines.
Observation #5 - JUST4FUN → From Ollie → Anonymous
In order to decipher this signature, take the number of symbols and count that letter in the fragment.
- For example: star = ULT. There are 2 stars. The second letter in ULT is "L". Therefore, the first letter in the signature is L.
Observation #6 - JUST4FUN → From Ollie → Anonymous
Once decrypted, the signature reads:
- "lovetorevolt"
Observation #7 - JUST4FUN → From Ollie → Anonymous
"lovetorevolt" is a username of the troll on the J4F forum.
Observation #8 - JUST4FUN → From Ollie → 02-27-03
This is an audio clip of Jake "spilling the beans" to Ollie about going solo with his career.
