3:10 to Death is a case featured in Criminal Case as the twenty-eighth case of Mysteries of the Past (Season 4) and the one-hundred ninety-ninth case overall. It takes place in the Coyote Gorge district of Concordia.

Plot

Upon receiving Constable Ramirez's report, Bontemps and the player went to the site of a train derailment, only to find Irish gang member Danny Dedalus shot dead with arrows.

The team learned from train conductor Erica Dupri that Dedalus derailed the train to steal its stored gold. Ramirez and his team then found the victim's hideout owned by Gibby Hayes. Later, the team stopped Vittorio Capecchi from illegally entering the hideout. Eventually, the team arrested mine owner Dorothy McBain for the murder.

Initially denying involvement, McBain eventually admitted to the crime. Prior to the train robbery, McBain was married to the victim but divorced. Dedalus attempted to threaten McBain for years, ordering her to give him money. When she found out that Danny was attempting to steal the gold from the train, Dorothy fatally shot him twice with a bow. Judge Lawson sentenced her to 25 years in prison.

After the trial, Isaac and the player talked to Erica about the Concordia Railroad Company's potential affiliation with the Italian gang. After finding evidence in the train wreck, the team confirmed that the Italian gang was selling the emptied plots of land to the Concordia Railroad Company. However, this was still insufficient evidence to arrest Capecchi for any crimes. So, the team made a plea deal with convicted gang member Vinnie Costa to testify against Capecchi in court.

Meanwhile, Maddie and the player searched the gold wagon to ensure Seamus O'Neill was not involved with the robbery. They found a locket with Giulietta Capecchi that proved they were in love. When they talked to Seamus, he said that he stowed away on the train to get to her.

Concluding the investigation, the team kept Vinnie in the town of Providence to keep him safe before he testified against the gang.
