* BittersweetEnding: Sure, we found out who killed Freddy, but the killer was ''just a 12-year-old kid...'' and it was an ''accident''. That leaves everyone with a bad taste in the mouth.

* OnlyTheLeadsGetAHappyEnding: And even that is kind of a stretch. The player and the team actually get the culprit and are able to send them to justice. The thing is that the culprit is a kid, who is being put into a reformatory due to a mistake. Years later, turns out that Julian gets the worst of it, still being called a criminal to that day.

A teenager is found with an arrow sticking out of his eye at night.

!!Tropes:
*AccidentalMurder: Julian ended up killing Freddy completely by accident, since the crossbow they stole was so old and rusty it shot on its own. Coupled with his young age, it's probably the reason why he's only given a one-year sentence on a juvenile detention center.
-->'''Julian:''' Once we had run off to the park, he put it in my hands, he was laughing and everything!
-->But it was older and rustier than we thought... The arrow went off on its own... I never wanted to hurt him! It's an accident!
*TheConfidant: Edward knew about the Stewart sibling's crimes, but decided to not report them since he and his son were good friends with them.
*ContinuityNod:
**Freddy is found dead [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase13BombAlertOnGrimsborough in the same park Henry Crosby was killed with a bomb.]]
**Alden Greene and the events of [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase15FamilyBlood Case 15]] appear/are mentioned again.
*DrowningMySorrows: After the arrest of his son, Edward drinks so much he ends up losing the key to his car.
*EnfantTerrible: {{Subverted}}. Even if he's a thief and an accidental murderer, Julian is just a kid who wanted to be friends with the person he admired so much, even if it meant participating in his robberies.
-->'''Jones:''' It's just crazy how a stupid, childish mistake can destroy so many lives... Julian is a good kid, better than most even, and he's gonna spend the next year behind bars...

*FalseConfession: Edward Ramis falsely confesses for the murder of Freddy to protect his son. Fortunately, the player manages to see through his facade.
*GoodParents: Even if he's a little stern and is willing to overlook some crimes, it's clear that Edward loves his son, which is why he tried to [[TakingTheHeat take the heat]] from him.
*JustLikeRobinHood: Freddy and her sister Ramona were a pair of thieves who only targeted rich people. Of course, Ramona knew that stealing from the Greene family was a bad idea, but Freddy didn't listen.
*ShoutOut:
** The case's title references the U.K. song of the same name.
** In the Cooper Park Fountain scene, there is a [[Franchise/{{Batman}} "moth-signal"]] shining in the sky.
** MWB is a parody of BMW.
*SleepDeprivation: Ramirez.
-->'''Jones:''' Holy crap, Ramirez, when was the last time you took a break? You look awful!
-->'''Ramirez:''' I want to help the investigation, officers... Someone's got to answer the phone...
*TakingTheHeat: Edward does this, since it was his son who actually murdered Freddy.
*TeensAreShort: Ramona Stewart, who is 16, has the same height as Julian Ramis, who is 12. Both are 5'0".
*TemptingFate: Jones should really start keeping his mouth shut.
-->'''Jones:''' Don't you just love night shift, <Player's Name>? Waiting for the insomniac killers of the world to make a move...
-->'''Ramirez:''' We've just got a call in! Someone's reported a murder!
