Rhea Wits

Rhea Wits is a bright and cheerful young woman who happens to work in the death industry. Her brother Nathan was brutally murdered by an infamous serial murderer, the "Mysterious Bust Killer", and she had to testify in the trial of the alleged culprit, Robert Erlenmeyer, where she befriended Judge Chambers who, like her, had lost of a member of his family to the murders. When Judge is arrested for the murder of Erlenmeyer, she decides to help Apollo investigate the case, convinced that there is more to the story than meets the eye.

A dynamic businesswoman who seems to have everything under control, she is not afraid to show her emotions and weaknesses when she needs to. Like a lot of twenty-somethings, she still shows some childish traits and loves to talk about her various quirks and link situations to irrelevant details from her personal life. Rhea is not always as tactful as she should be, and has a penchant for dark humor typical of those in her profession. However, she is hard-working, dedicated, and quickly proves useful in the investigation.

Spoiler

It is revealed that Rhea Wits is the sociopathic, real Mysterious Bust Killer, and only grew closer to Apollo in order to get information out of his investigations and trials (though there are hints that she wasn't entirely pretending). Rhea murdered her brother, Nathan, in order to appear as a victim of the case, and not arouse suspicion for her continued interest in the investigation.

She had manipulated Robert Erlenmeyer into believing that he killed her victims, and eventually murdered him so that the police would assume he was still at large. This would have enabled her to kill as many people as she liked without ever arousing the authorities' suspicions. Judge Chambers was murdered because he had stumbled upon her killing Robert. She hid her victims' bodies in the cemetaries she worked at, as her job as a funeral director allowed access to. She was the one who had stolen Apollo's bracelet. Her name is an anagram of "it was her".
