I've been working on this case for a bit now, and am completely stumped. I've tried checking with all the towns people. I've checked on all the physical evidence, and either came up with nothing or was clammed up on. I've checked all the witnesses for witness evidence and either got nothing or was clammed up on. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd really hate to quit the case, but neither do I want to just guess and risk being wrong. its a Really Hard case and, as usual, I have 4 suspects, no helpful evidence, and no answers, heh.

If you've been clammed up on by all the suspects, and if the townspeople can't help in supplyin gmore names for your suspects' list, then unfortunately you really just have to quit. Sometimes you're going to come to a dead end. And you're doing the right thing by not taking a punt and guessing!
Really hard cases have at least 7 suspects, so when you're missing nearly half a list it's difficult.
Maybe you need to slide on back to hard cases until you have better skills (not your gaming skills, but Sleuth skills like intermediate sweet talking, intermediate rule-bending etc) Sometimes less is more.

Also, the mysteries are randomly generated, so we can't help you with specifics of a mystery.
