Cece Yew

Cece Yew was a Cohdopian embassy employee and the victim of the KG-8 incident.

KG-8
10 years prior to the events of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Yew was an employee at the Cohdopian embassy. She discovered evidence of a smuggling ring involving members of the embassy and wished to testify. The leader of the smuggling ring, Quercus Alba, discovered this and sent a member of the ring, Manny Coachen, to kill her. He succeeded, but was caught on tape entering her apartment with a knife. Coachen was arrested for her murder and put on trial, with Byrne Faraday as prosecutor and Tyrell Badd as detective. However, Ernest Amano sent one of his agents to steal the tape, and Coachen was found not guilty due to lack of evidence.

Aftermath of Yew's murder
Alba placed one of his agents to pose as Yew's sister, calling herself Calisto Yew. After the trial, she wept, and when Badd approached her, she slapped him, saying she never wanted to see him again. However, soon after that, Calisto Yew began working with Badd and Faraday.

Three years after Yew's death, the events of KG-8 were repeated, in a case nicknamed KG-8 II. In this case, a Cohdopian embassy employee was shot dead after discovering evidence of the smuggling ring and being willing to testify. The suspect, Mack Rell, was caught on tape killing the victim, and put on trial. However, before a verdict could be reached, Rell was murdered along with Faraday. It was this case that led to the revelation that Yew had no sister and Calisto Yew was merely pretending to be her sister.

Ten years after Yew's death, the tape showing Manny Coachen entering Yew's apartment was taken from Edgeworth's office. A prosecutor working for Alba, Jacques Portsman, had tried to take the tape, but Edgeworth soon implicated him for murder and retrieved the tape. Shortly after that, Yew's killer, Coachen, was found dead. While working on this case, Miles Edgeworth identified Coachen as Yew's killer, finally settling the problems to a ten year old case.
