Biography[]
Crime[]
Zach Carrière had started dating a young lady named Sandy Aldwich. He proceeded to give her money but then his savings ran out after only a month, so Aldwich dumped him for a man named Bosco Felps.
When Aldwich and Felps returned to the hotel again to stay for a month, she ordered a 'double fish sandwich' as room service, Carrière was sent to deliver it. At her request, he brought the sandwich out at the room's terrace. Unbeknownst to her, Carrière took Felps's tie from the room and planned to kill her. When Carrière strangled her with the tie from behind, he was wounded in the neck during the struggle. Aldwich's hand had obtained the scent of his aftershave, so he had to disguise the scent with pickle juice in her sandwich. Since he knew the hand in the sandwich would be too suspicious, he had to create a fake dying message that showed Felps's name, which he thought was spelled "Phelps". He arranged the rest of the crime scene and left the room, passing by Felps. The latter quickly let himself in using a key card to pick something up and didn't reveal his identity, then he puts a sign on the door handle to have the room made up, which caused cleaner Vera Wipovsky to enter, clean, find the body outside and call the police. This chain of events was done so Felps and Wipovsky could be Carrière's scapegoats.
Investigation[]
Alfendi Layton was sent to investigate Sandy Aldwich's murder, he decided to bring his new assistant, Lucy Baker, along. Although Lucy considered all three suspects to be suspicious, Alfendi was 97.6% sure that Zach Carrière was Aldwich's murderer. During the investigation of Aldwich's murder, Carrière, who hid his neck wound with a neckerchief, attempted to mislead the investigators by giving misinformed information about Felps. His mistakes ultimately led to his undoing and his scheme was exposed during the interrogation. Carrière admitted he killed her but blamed Aldwich for driving him to murder.
Afterwards, he was convicted of murder and placed in a prison cell. He later chatted with Mike de Bonair about the methods used to escape prison while a patrolling guard walked by.
