A locked lakefront home. A missing phone. A security system that stopped recording at exactly the wrong moment.
At 6:42 a.m., Ethan Michael Cole is found dead at the bottom of the staircase in his secluded lakeside residence. The doors are locked. There is no obvious sign of forced entry. Everything initially points to a tragic accident-until the medical evidence reveals that Ethan was already fatally injured before his body descended the stairs.
Six people had reasons to want him silenced.
His wife deleted threatening messages. His business partner cannot account for his movements. His assistant concealed changes to Ethan's schedule. A neighbor minimized a confrontation. A journalist hid her surveillance of the property. Ethan's half-brother entered the house and committed a separate crime.
Every suspect lied.
But only one lied to conceal murder.
In CASE: UNKNOWN(TM) - Case File #001: The Lakeside Murder, you become the lead investigator. Examine police reports, crime-scene photographs, autopsy findings, suspect profiles, interview transcripts, financial records, digital evidence, movement logs, and carefully hidden contradictions.
