Finding Amelia: Abel Koontz stumbles into Mars Investigations, drunk and looking for help. He asks Veronica to help him find Amelia DeLongpre, his daughter, before he dies. Assuming that the other part of the settlement from Kane Software was to disappear, Veronica follows up on the paper trail by seeing if any personal connections were kept. Her boyfriend lost her when they went to Ibiza in Europe. After running the phone cards Amelia stole from her boyfriend, she finds that one was used in Neptune only a week prior.
After realizing that Amelia must be using a fake identity, she confirms that Amelia had a fake ID from her best friend, who made her go on a “booze cruise.” She finds that a Margot Schnell (the name on the ID) recently rented a car. She finds which car it is and returns after switching disguises, posing as a businesswoman who left her laptop in the same car. It was last found in Waverly, CA, to which Veronica follows up to a rundown motel. She finds Amelia’s palm pilot signal in her room and searches the hotel looking for Amelia. She finds her, dead in the ice machine.
The mystery kicks into figuring out who killed Amelia at this point. Clarence Wiedman was apparently also attempting to find Amelia and shows up at the motel. The two are alerted to her being accompanied by a man matching her boyfriend’s description. They go to his room and Clarence holds him out a window. They determine that he wasn’t lying about not killing her. But, she is notified on voice chat that the boyfriend is not to be trusted because of his skills at lying. However, they had the wrong man. The real killer was Carlos Marcado, an Argentinian diplomat’s son.
