The final clue led Phelps to Mason's hideout at the [[Christ Crown of Thorns]] Church, where Mason awaited Phelps' arrival, armed with a shotgun. Phelps recognized Mason as the temporary bartender at [[The Bamba Club]] during his work on the Henry case. Mason in turn applauded Phelps for having the tenacity to find him. Mason then fled into the church catacombs with Phelps in pursuit. During the chase, Mason taunted Phelps by asking why he joined the [[LAPD]], while alluding to Phelps' seeking for personal redemption. The chase concluded in the church's graveyard where Phelps shot and killed The Murderer.

Despite being the Black Dahlia killer and even with compelling proof of his murders, Captain [[James Donnelly]] revealed to Phelps and Rusty that The Murderer was actually the half-brother of a very powerful and undisclosed politician, hence Mason's name and acts were to be kept out of public knowledge and out of official records. The suspects that were previously arrested were quietly released and the truth was quietly buried to all but a handful of men.

During "[[Nicholson Electroplating]]", [[Herschel Biggs]] asked Cole who the real Black Dahlia killer was, but Cole refused to answer the question, saying he made a promise to the department. In addition, it is possible to hear passers-by comment on a possible 'coverup' over the Black Dahlia killings, suggesting that rumors about The Killer may have been leaked.

The Murderer is an extremely cunning and sadistic murderer, his infamy and reputation preceded him. His preferred weapons of choice were usually socket or lug wrenches, and triple braid rope. Mason is extremely observant and methodical, hence he is able to perform successful planning and execution without implicating himself. It is speculated that Mason is educated, evident by his appreciation for literature and his basic knowledge of biology, making him a proficient killer. Mason also seemed to have had a superiority complex, as he was mainly driven by his intelligence and vanity. Comparing himself to Prometheus in Greek mythology (a powerful and intelligent Titan who defied the Gods for mankind), Mason rebelled against the legal and political systems of Los Angeles, and developed a sense of power and superiority over the LAPD. Ultimately, Mason was undone by his vanity as he taunted the Homicide department to find him, and was challenged and undone by Phelps.

*The Murderer makes a brief optional appearance in [[A Marriage Made in Heaven]]. If the player finds the bloody knife on the first sweep of the scene and then returns to the bar later on, Mason will have replaced [[Dudley Lynch]] behind the bar, but he can't be interacted with.
