Jazz's Addiction to Murder Mysteries
A serious murder has happened in Lobos Nod and the cops are investigating. Little do they know, Jazz is also investigating from afar. After he gets caught snooping in the morgue, G. William, the Sheriff of Lobos Nod (A.K.A. the man that put Jazz's dad away for good) tells Jazz to stay away from the case but no matter how many times G. William says it, or how he says it, Jazz will not leave the case alone. He insists he has a ll the answers and he feels he can crack the case himself. I understand that his father was a serial killer and he was raised to be like him, but why can't he just drop the case?

I don't think he can leave the case alone because Jazz wants to help solve the murder using everything he was taught by his father. He believes that with the advice/knowledge that his father gave him, he can easily solve the case.
Not only does Jazz have the mindset of how a criminal operates due to the knowledge his father gave and can be a very important asset for the solving of the case, but i feel as if Jazz is trying to show the world that just because his own father was a serial killer does not mean he is one too and is trying to prove this by assisting the police in the investigation.
I agree with Allie and I also feel that Jazz's attempts to assist the police serve as a sort of closure or comfort for him because of his father being a serial killer. The part of Jazz that wants to do good for the world is using the police investigation as a way to make up for what his father has done.
Jazz is the son of a serial killer and everybody knows him as such. He is unable to break out of the status everyone has given him, so he feels that helping police and showing that he is a good citizen would give people the impression that he is not like his father. It also helps that he knows how criminals think, as Allie said before.
