Biography[]
Carl Nussbaumer's Case[]
Suspect: Jessica Jones[]
- "What did you and Officer Nussbaumer talk about after he turned off his body cam?"
"I don't discuss my cases."
"If he was a case, who was the client?"
"People hire me in confidence." - ―Imada and Jessica Jones[src]
When Carl Nussbaumer was found beaten to death, the NYPD checked his camera and found out that hew was confronted by Jessica Jones before his death, so Imada and Defford were sent to investigate. Together with a group of NYPD officers, Imada and Defford arrived at Alias Investigations Office with a search warrant to check Jones' place. Jones asked her about the case of Dorothy Walker's murder but Imada questioned Jones had she drank the last night and about her confrontation with Nussbaumer, causing Jones to realize that Nussbaumer was the murder victim being investigated.[1]
While the officers went to search the office for evidence, Jones told Imada that her adopted mother was murdered and instead of being at the mortuary, she is being held by the police. Although Jones denied any involvement in Nussbaumer's death, Imada suggested that grief can make people do anything. She then asked Jones about her meeting with Nussbaumer, however, Jones refused to disclose the confidential details of her cases.
Defford then took a picture of Jones' hands, as she already proved that she was able to murder someone with bare hands. Also, she found a file with information about Nussbaumer which she took as potential evidence. Jones told them that Nussbaumer was guilty of murdering young criminals, to the anger of Defford who was once saved by him. Imada stopped Defford, and since the officers failed to find more evidence, they had no choice but to leave Jones off the hook for the timebeing.[2]
Questioning Trish Walker[]
- "Well, I guess innocent until proven guilty, what, it only applies to serial killers now?"
"We're trying to fill in some blanks in her story."
"No, you're trying to pin it on her." - ―Trish Walker and Imada[src]
Outside of the Edgecombe Funeral House, Imada and Defford approached Trish Walker, in order to question her about Carl Nussbaumer's case. As Walker claimed that Gregory Sallinger murdered her mother and he should be arrested for that, Imada informed her that they were investigating another case which involved Jessica Jones and asked Walker to fill some blanks. However, Walker assumed that they were trying to pin Nussbaumer's death on her and confronted the detectives before Jones intervene. Jones demanded them not to drag her family into this and walked away from them with Walker.[3]
Arrest of Jessica Jones[]
- "You're no longer a suspect in Nussbaumer's murder."
"Because you found the person who did it?"
"Because the killer struck again while you were in here. You have the perfect alibi." - ―Imada and Jessica Jones[src]
Eventually, the NYPD acquired the arrest warrant of Jessica Jones who was deemed as Carl Nussbaumer's murderer. At the streets, Jones was surrounded by the police officers, as Imada and Defford demanded her to surrender. Jones still claimed that she was not guilty in Nussbaumer's murder and attempted to escape, but she failed and Imada ordered the officers to handcuff Jones and take her to the 15th Precinct Police Station.[2]
However, while Jones was held at the precinct, the NYPD was informed about the murder of Jace Montero who was killed by the same person who killed Nussbaumer. As Jones was no longer a suspect, Imada went to the interrogation room and informed Jones that she is free to go, as her alibi was perfect. Imada, however, still question Jones about the case, as the masked vigilante was spotted near the crime scene. Jones told Imada that she had no information about Montero's murder before leaving the precinct.[4]
