Motive: Protection of finances/business and/or personal reputation.

Tiffany is officially “missing” but Trina and Nicky-Rose both know she’s dead and have covered it up, along with whatever role their company played in her death.

Scenario 2

Victim: Nicky-Rose

Murderer: Trina Neale (or someone employed by her)

Motive: To keep secret whatever is in the documents.

Twin Star Entertainment failed in its duty of care to Tiffany Ramirez, resulting in her disappearance and/or death.

Scenario 3

Victim: Elizabeth Harries

Murderer: Fran Elroy-Jones

Motive: Love. Fran wants to free Father Josh so he can be with her.

Now Issy knows about the affair, she’ll tell Nicky-Rose, making two people who know that Fran has a motive for killing Elizabeth.

Charlotte

Thanks. First two more likely?

Femi

Clutching at straws by the last one. Don’t want to imagine the same scenario could apply to Nicky-Rose and Sarah-Jane over NR’s affair with Kevin.

Charlotte

Not like you to let feelings get in the way of a good argument.

Femi

Is it not?

Charlotte

We can’t trust Nicky-Rose in what she says or does. Not until we know what happened in Bridgetown.

Femi

Her claim that loan documents in her name were forged by Trina, leading to the sale of her house and car, is not obviously connected to the disappearance of Tiffany Ramirez.

Charlotte

There’s still the mystery six months between Nicky-Rose leaving Twin Star and her arrival in Lockwood.

Charlotte

I’m losing a case for my client and this may be my sleepless delirium talking, but I’ve just had a thought.

Charlotte

Could Nicky-Rose have been accused, tried, and convicted of a crime in Barbados?
