Charity Begins at Home (Case #3) is the third fanmade case as well as being the third case of Campbell City and the Big Rock district by Tuttifruttichaitea.

Case Background

Junior Officer Reena Hollingsworth scheduled a picnic with the player so they could enjoy the view. As the two strolled closer and closer to the lake, Reena believed that the scenery is magnificent. The player noticed something floating in the waters, prompting Reena to believe that there was a dead body, and from there the investigation started. 

The victim was an auctioneer who was a member of Cardwell Auctioneering named Gunner Lascelles, who was found floating in the lake, surrounded by his own blood. The killer was a lumberjack named Clarence Appleberry.

One day, Gunner was strolling along the area, until he tripped and fell into the waters. Seeing this, Clarence went and saved him for the water's claim. Clarence had to pay in the form of paperwork and had his pay stripped. He had a son who was going to college in a short while. Clarence was warned that if another incident similar to what happened to Gunner happened again, he would be fired. He had attempted suicide before the murder, but that had failed. Clarence had a lot on his shoulder at the time; his son was going to college, his mother had lung cancer, and his wife had been laid off many years ago and recently had a very weak baby. Not only that, he had to feed his family. Clarence took pride in his lumberjack job and knew what he had to do: kill Gunner.

He brought a knife, frightening Gunner. He forced the victim to drink an overwhelming amount of energy drinks, causing Gunner to overdose on the taurine. When Gunner woke up, Clarence raised his knife, only for Gunner to fight back with a statuette held in one of Gunner's coat pockets. Clarence snatched the statuette, gave Gunner a slash large enough for Gunner to stumble, and threw him in the water to drown.

In court, Clarence explained exactly what he did to the court. The Honorable Montgomery said that Clarence may have had a sad story, but the murder not only got Clarence nowhere, but Clarence could have worked to find a job. Also, the judge believed the way the murder was orchestrated was sickening, grounds for Clarence Appleberry to serve a life sentence with a chance of parole in 20 years.

The team arrested an attacker and Soul Stealer going by the identity of radio presenter Zachary Thatcher. He said he did it for a secret cause, but the leader paid him to do this act. When Reena asked Zachary who the leader was, he said that he would rather be placed behind bars than reveal who paid him, hence another person behind the Campbell City prison's bars.

Socialite Nerissa Morisson had told the team that she had discovered that the Man Behind the Mask was a fan of science. She also invited the team for a show at the Desire's Canyon Theater and gave them tickets for front row seats and backstage.
