[Chameleon]

Once again some SPOILERS! Keep in mind too this quest kind of has two parts to it that I know of so if you only completed the first part don't read further.

!!!!SPOILER!!!!
Curious, I completed the quest and as you know Daria is the Harvester. I didn't find this out until she messaged me that someone was there to get her a bit down the line after a few more main quests.
My question is does anyone know if you search her room during the initial investigation is there any evidense you can bring to the Detective to arrest her then?

I don't think so. Most of the evidence doesn't become available until that part of the quest activates. For example the Bear rug is unclickable until you activate that quest stage.

You can't force her arrest. You can kill her, incapacitate her and take the implant, reason with her (100% guaranteed to fail), and use a combination of CASIE, the code phrase, and a social battle to make her surrender.

If you do anything but force her surrender, Montag will confront you when you leave the area. He's immune to CASIE, and will warn you the first time you try to use it, and open fire on the second try. The goal is to convince him that she needed to be killed/knocked out because reasons, while he's got pretty solid proof of his own that Adam's indeed the killer, and the dead/beat up stalker victim behind him doesn't really do him any favors.

I'm almost positive that in one of my playthroughs I got into her room and searched around, long before initiating this quest. There was nothing in her compauter or her appartment regarding this particular quest. So everything related becomes "available" only after you start the quest...

Actually the case with one missing needle is in her bathroom from the begining which was a major tell tale that she was the killer. But I couldn't click it or tell the detective about it. I just went with the quest and only later in the second part of the quest was when I could click the different evidence in her appartment.

Thanks for the input guys! Sounds like the answer is a most likely no you have to stick it out for the reveal.

In case anyone is interested in my result I was able to stealth knock her out after collecting all the evidense against her and also able to convince the detective I was not the killer and she was. First try not going back to a save. I did make the mistake of trying to use my social skill against him once but convinced him through dialogue after he tore me a knew one for trying to use it on him! lol.

Another interesting tidbit I was completely ignorant about her from the beginnning. Had NOOO Idea. Then when I did the mission where I had to break in to the temp police lock up and free the alternative News guy I saw her emails to the Police and was like THIS GIRL IS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CRAZY! She probably did it!

Happy to know this could be a replay game down the road. I'm not done my first play through yet and have been going FULL stealth and no killing through the whole game. Interested to see what it would be like going through full badass, balls to the walls shooting and killing.

She also has a bedroom telescope pointed at Adam's apartment. She's been stalking him for quite some time, and the fact that he didn't even notice is testament to just how good she is.
