He's trying but all attempts are failing. In the end the police does their job and MC facepalms himself, asking why he didn't listened to Melissa and Emily who said he should stay out of this and let them handle the problem.
Of course. She does this all the time. That's why I quoted it. It's just to funny. She also claimed Ethan is MC's brother.
That's the whole point of a red herring. Let the people think one way and go a complete another.
It's all part of investigations the police does. They don't know what happened, yet. So they ask all the people who had contact with her to get a picture what kind of person the victim was and if there's a possibility of relationship crime. All they do by now is searching evidence what could happened. Maybe she was in escorting business and a client does this, maybe rape "play" or choking kink. Ethan didn't do it then but the police could find out what a shady business he operates. Could be the solution for Erynn's problem.
I don't think so. We saw her fucking her boyfriend in the bathroom. You know the anti-NTR-clownbrigade. They go nuts every time you can see a girl fucking another guy if it's a LI, even if it's not a main LI and only a side chick. As long as it isn't a LI it's okay, but right at the moment there's a scene between MC and Sienna in the game, they'll go all the "it's NTR" crybaby way.
