I beat the game. I'm going through a few cases to get 5-stars on the few I missed and I just finished doing The Silk Stocking murder for the second time. As you go through these homicide desk cases again you'll notice a ton of things that point to the eventual killer (the temp bartender). He's mentioned in real quick throw away sentences and even Phelps will bring up how peculiar it is that all the women are murdered right after visiting bars.
Silk Stocking Murder (Includes End of Homicide Spoilers)
I agree. To me, this seemed like one of the weaker cases in homicide. It started off pretty interestingly, but ended abruptly. I'm supposed to believe the guy who planted all the evidence around the body and the guy I arrested are the same person? The brown Ford Coupe lead wasn't important enough to look into at all?
For me when you get to the killers hideout you notice a bathtub full of blood and surgical which has blood all over it yet none of the cases match up which would lead you to believe he has killed more people yet everyone there just goes along ignoring the obvious. I also found the actually killer aspect to be a little weak there was no real motive or reasoning why he did it it was just like ' yeah here I am I did it' I was expecting something a little more from it considering all the build up.
i think the homicide desk was 1-2 missions too long for my taste. i mean come ON, every victim is missing jewelry and has an affinity for visiting bars. still i was convicting random schmucks and husbands instead of connecting the dots. the mission where you finally get the guy makes up for it though. theres hardly anything cooler than chasing a trenchcoat-wearing shotgun-bearing serial killer through some dark corridors of a cathedral!!!
That is what I was thinking when the second woman showed up and everyone around you in the game is basically saying '' serial killer no don't be daft '' and your left looking at a body that is exactly the same as the previous one.i think the homicide desk was 1-2 missions too long for my taste. i mean come ON, every victim is missing jewelry and has an affinity for visiting bars. still i was convicting random schmucks and husbands instead of connecting the dots. the mission where you finally get the guy makes up for it though. theres hardly anything cooler than chasing a trenchcoat-wearing shotgun-bearing serial killer through some dark corridors of a cathedral!!!
