Ms. Rugby,
Rita Rugby
This is insane! I can easily recognize amateur journalists and detectives! You are always looking for an opportunity to sneak into famous people's private lives. Gossips. That's what you really want to know! Please leave my house inmediately and never come back.
Did you have a relation with Mr. Smith?
Rita Rugby
Well... It's something that I can't figure out. The only thing I can tell you is that I heard him mention he wanted to retire in a tropical country. He was not very happy with his life as a business man.
Why was Mr. Smith in Colombia?
Rita Rugby
I will tell you what I have said to all the press who has asked me the same question: I stopped dating him three months ago because I wanted to have kids and he didn't. We didn't see or talked to each other after that. He was too busy dealing with his company's issues, so I decided to let him go.
What do you know about the murder?
Rita Rugby
I told you not to come back.Next time I'll tell Totó and your parents.

What is Brix Corp about?
Why do you think he was in Colombia?
Did Mr. Smith have any enemies?
Mr. Brandon,
Paul Brandon
He was really a very nice person. Actually, he was so nice and wealthy that he could have awaken envy in any other man. But enemies is a strong word and I don't think he could have had.
Did Mr. Smith have any enemies?
Paul Brandon
We are one of the biggest European mining company. We started this dream together and thanks to his effort and dedication, we could expand our operations all around Africa.
What is Brix Corp about?
Paul Brandon
Well, I don´t have much time to speculate and I have no idea.Thank you for coming.
Why do you think he was in Colombia?
Paul Brandon
There's no answer for another appointment.
Who could benefit from his death?
Did you notice something strange before the murder?
How was Mr. Smith's personality?
Ms. Kane,
Olivia Kane
He was a really hard worker. He was always concerned about the smallest detail and tried to offer the best benefits to his employees. As he was always kind and great leader, every one loved him at Brix Corp. Oh my! Now he's gone.
How was Mr. Smith's personality?
Olivia Kane
Mmmm... He was a little strange after he broke up with that crazy model. He missed many meetings and spent a lot of time with Mr. Brandon in private. He never told me what they were discussing about.
Did you notice something strange before the murder?
Olivia Kane
Well ... I don't want to blame anyone, but I guess someone who didn't like him in the company could benefit from his death... or his daughter, who is the natural heir to his fortune.

Do you know anyone who could have hated Mr. Smith?
Why did you break your relationship with your father?
Miss Smith,
Patty Smith
Colombia is a marvelous place. I had the opportunity to visit the Tayrona Park with some friends years ago. It's full of nature and people are really friendly. It's one of the countries that we need to preserve as it has plenty of natural resourses.
What do you know about Colombia?
Patty Smith
My mother died and her last wish was that he changed his job as she was against the mining industry. He kept expanding the company and so I went away and became and environmentalist.
Why did you break your relationship with your father?
Patty Smith
Well, I guess in that industry, people care more about money than about others.
