[[folder:Kelly Madigan]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Juliane Szalay (Die Drei ??? Radio Plays)
Peter Crenshaw's girlfriend, introduced in Crimebusters.
* OfficialCouple: With Pete. At least, in the novels. She and Pete were even engaged in one of the side games (though its unclear if this is canon). She was eventually written out of the radio plays leaving their relationship ambiguous at best, nonexistent at worst.
* DemotedToExtra: She played a bigger role in Crimebusters and early in the German series, but she becomes less and less relevant in more modern stories and is only mentioned in passing. She is straight up written out in the German radio plays after a certain point.
* SixthRanger: In Crimebusters and early in the extended German release, she often accompanied the Investigators on their cases and sometimes even subbed for Bob. She stopped because she lost interest detective work.
