*PrettyBoy: The two figure skaters introduced in this case, Juan Rodrigo Vasquez and Dimitrios Moustaki. Every woman featured in the case seems to be gawking at their attractiveness, and even Roxie forgoes her usual wisecracking during her autopsy on Juan Rodrigo's body to bemoan about what a waste it was to have such a beautiful young thing murdered.

Amy, Hannah, Heather, and the player visit a Love Village up in the mountains during their day off, where they encounter the body of famous ice skater Juan Rodrigo Vasquez held by an ice statue and with his face sliced.

!!Tropes:
*AbsurdlySharpBlade: The victim was killed by having his face sliced with an ice skate.
*AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Juan Rodrigo was this for his brother Roberto, who he hated for this very reason.
-->'''Roberto:'' I've always been fat Roberto, Juan Rodrigo's ugly brother. "Oh, JR is so perfect! Why can't his brother be just like him?" At least now I won't have to hear this ever again!
*AgentScully: During the Additional Investigation, Amy keeps denying that [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight The Night Walker]] exists.
*BusmansHoliday: The body is discovered during Amy and the player's day off.
*CallBack: Heather returns after being absent since [[Recap/CriminalCasePacificBayCase16KillingTime Case 16]], though this time not as a suspect.
*CasanovaWannabe: Roberto becomes this after his brother's death, gaining the confidence he needed to start "dating any girl he likes" now that no one is there to make fun of him.
*ChickMagnet: Every woman you meet in this case fawns over Juan Rodrigo at one point, including Roxie and Heather.
-->'''Tiffany:''' It was just for work at first, but... I admit, eventually I'm the one who fell in love with Juan Rodrigo! He was so... perfect!
-->'''Amy:''' Oh my God, you too?
*{{Cliffhanger}}: PlayedForLaughs. At the end of Chapter 2, you and Chief Marquez receive a call from Amy, who appears to be in danger of being killed by Juan Rodrigo's murder. Then when you find her at the start of Chapter 3, you discover her trouble was that Roberto wanted to kiss her.
-->'''Amy:''' Oh <Player's Name>, I'm so relieved to see you, I thought I was going to die!
-->'''Chief Marquez:''' Tell us what happened, Amy.
-->'''Amy:''' It's Roberto... He tried to kiss me!
-->'''Chief Marquez:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?]]
*ComicallyMissingThePoint: During Tiffany's trial, Judge Dante thinks she killed Juan Rodrigo because he couldn't stop wearing leotard and dressing like a peacock.
*ADayInTheLimelight: Heather, Hannah's girlfriend, serves as a pseudo-secondary partner during this case, appearing multiple times to provide you with clues and insights about the murder.
-->'''Amy:''' Heather? You have a knack for popping up out of nowhere, don't you?
*DeadGuyOnDisplay: The victim was left in an ice rink being held by a statue.
*DirtyOldWoman: Charlotte Fontaine, one of the suspects, hired Juan Rodrigo to sponsor her chocolates just because he looked sexy, and hired Dimitrios Moustaki for this exact same reason after Juan Rodrigo died.
-->'''Charlotte:''' I mean have you seen the new muse I found? Dimitrios is so dreamy! Who would have thought the Love Village could deliver such good looking lads!
*EvenTheGuysWantHim: According to Désiré Bower, both men and women were infatuated with Juan Rodrigo, which made him the principal attraction of the village.
*FatIdiot: Roberto isn't the brightest guy around, that's for sure.
*ForcefulKiss: Roberto tries to kiss Amy before you manage to stop him.

*ImprobableWeaponUser: The victim was killed with an ice skate.
*LampshadeHanging: While examining a trash can, Amy asks if you think they'll stop searching through people's garbage someday.
*LoveHurts: Tiffany killed Juan Rodrigo because he used their relationship for money and fame, which led to her being fired from her job.
-->'''Tiffany:''' Well, he had it coming! Until I met Juan Rodrigo, I had never loved anybody. He made me so many promises: we were meant to grow old together while drinking hot chocolate!
-->But he used me to get famous outside of this stupid village. He took intimate photos of us and sold them to my magazine: he's ruined my life!
*MakeOutPoint: The Love Village functions as a fancier version of this. According to Heather, Amy and Bobby used to go there to kiss when they were dating.
*PermanentElectedOfficial: Désiré Bower, the Love Village's mayor, has been re-elected five times already.
*TheRival: Juan Rodrigo had one named Dimitrios Moustaki. Juan Rodrigo even broke his arm by pushing him so he could become the face of a chocolate company, which makes Dimitrios a strong suspect.
*SecretRelationship: Juan Rodrigo and his girlfriend Tiffany Neng were in one, but Juan Rodrigo exposed it to the gossip magazine she worked in for more fame, which led to Tiffany being fired from her columnist job. It's the reason why she killed him.
*ShipperOnDeck: Heather towards Amy and Bobby.
-->'''Heather:''' A little bird told me you used to go there to smooch Bobby Prince when you were in high school, Amy. I bet you're still smitten with him...

*SpookyPhotographs: {{Subverted}}. In the Additional Investigation, Roberto thinks he managed to capture The Night Walker on camera, but it turns out to be a fluke. Doesn't stop him from believing The Night Walker is real though.
*TakingTheBullet: In the Additional Investigation, we find out that the reason why Duncan ended up in a wheelchair was because he protected a little girl by taking a bullet aimed at her, which hit his spine.
*UrbanLegend: We learn a little more about The Night Walker in this case thanks to Roberto, who has a diary about all the people it has supposedly kidnapped away.
