But is the red saying she's dead said before or after the reds requiring "Erika" to be applied to a body? If it's after, she can still be one.

If you have a character named "John Lennon" and want to create the illusion there are two people, John, and Lennon, there's nothing literally untrue about saying "At 24:00, John, George, Paul, Ringo and Lennon were in this room." It will immediately become untrue if you add "for a total of five people" to this statement, because there's only four, but referring to the same person twice in a single location list is not a lie. As long as a candidate and "Erika" are not listed in separate locations explicitly, they can still be Erika.

As for 'Jessica did not want the epitaph solved', that is not strictly true, because she literally tells Battler that "we" (a list that has to include her, and probably includes George and Shannon) made an attempt to solve the epitaph during a prior conference.
