Sissel=

Big no-brainer here. The way they express themselves is amazingly similar, although Sissel is much less likely to lose his cool than Phoenix. They're both quite sarcastic, but they still have a strong moral compass guiding them. They also both spend a lot of time searching for the "truth" (although Sissel's quest is certainly of a much more personal nature.)

Lynne= /

Lynne is a sort of composite character of both Maya and Ema, drawing traits from both (not surprising, considering Maya and Ema are already deliberate mirror images of each other). She has Maya's breathless energy and bottomless stomach, along with a bit of Maya's spacey behavior on some occasions. At the same time, her position as a detective and her history of admiration for law enforcement ties her directly to Ema, and her outfit is even somewhat reminiscent of adult Ema's lab coat. On a deeper level, Lynne is determined to prove Detective Jowd's innocence of a crime she knows in her heart he didn't commit, just as Ema so passionately sought to prove Lana's innocence when Bruce Goodman was murdered.

Kamila=

Connections are slightly more tenuous here, but Kamila's general innocence at least reminded me of how Pearl usually acts. She is also very much under Lynne's wing, like Pearl is to Maya. Furthermore, both characters have been through a lot of crap. Kamila (sort of kind of not exactly) is responsible for her mother's death, her father took the fall and ended up on death row, and she was held hostage by an assassin after said assassin shot her dog. Pearl, of course, saw her mother arrested, then was manipulated by her in a plan that killed Misty Fey and almost killed Maya, the person most important to her. In short, both of these characters are humongous woobies.

Inspector Cabanela=

The first thing to say is that Cabanela is definitely not evil like Gant. Nevertheless, I think the similarities are there. Cabanela, like Gant, is renowned for being a whiz investigator and completely eccentric to boot. Furthermore, as seen in parts of the game, he has a tendency to "lean" on his underlings in a nice/sinister way to bend them to his will when they're not going right along with what he says. For much of the game, he is also seen as a ladder-climber, much like Gant. To top it all off, he and Jowd were once famous partners on the police force, much like Gant and Lana. Cabanela seems ready to see his old partner Jowd go to the chair for a murder, just as Gant is ready to see Lana get the death penalty for Bruce Goodman's murder. (Of course the big difference is that initially Cabanela truly believes Jowd is guilty, whereas Gant is making Lana take the fall for his crime.) All in all, strange as it may seem, quite a few ties between these two.

Detective Jowd=

At the beginning of the game, Jowd, like Lana, is a shadow of his former self, defeated, ready to die for a crime he knows he didn't commit. Lynne is working her hardest to see justice done, as Ema was for Lana, but Jowd is resigned to his fate. Thanks to Lynne and Sissel's persistence in trying to save him, though, he finally realizes that there may be a way out of his miserable quandary and begins to try to save himself. Lana, in a very similar manner, helps Phoenix somewhat toward the end of the case after he has worked so hard to prove her innocence, even in the face of her repeated, flat assertions that she is guilty.

And Yomiel's pretty much a combination of Yanni Yogi (named pet after fiancée who committed suicide), Joe Darke (escaped during an interrogation and held a young girl hostage) and Godot (seeking revenge for something that wasn't even the fault of the people he was seeking revenge on).
