In Black Snow season 2 episode 4, James and Samara find Zoe's car and her remains at Xanadu. This turns the search for Zoe into a search for her killer. Also found in the car is $15000 in cash and a digital camera that belonged to her ex-boyfriend, Sean.
Sean comes under the scanner after the detective duo discovers that he was blackmailing Zoe with naked pictures he secretly took of her at Xanadu. They confiscate his laptop while searching his home, forcing Sean to escape temporarily.
Samara learns that Sapphire refers to the investment firm Sapphire Futures, which purchased Xanadu four months after Zoe was killed and buried at the private property.
In the flashback scenes from 2003, Zoe learns that Sapphire Futures seized Cody's land and left him homeless, which contributed to his decision to kill himself. After realizing that Sean has compromising pictures of her, Zoe breaks into his home and steals the camera containing her pictures.
James goes through his brother's file and is shocked to learn that Richie was suffering from several trauma-related issues like depression, suicidal ideation, etc. He finds the license plate number of the car Richie stole recently and sets off to track him down.
