Do suspects with false alibies ever lie?
Does a hint, for ex. Henry Smith doesn't know anything or He thinks he knows who the murderer is necessarily have to be true?
Thanks

Hi gzhu,

No-one lies, except about their alibi. That sort of deals with your second question too. If it says so-and-so doesn't know anything, they really don't, and if it says they think they know, it means just that: they THINK they know. It does NOT, however mean that their suspicions are necessarily correct.

Its not a lie, per se.

If a townie tells you someone doesn't know anything, they really don't know anything.

If they say "thinks they know who the murderer is", that means the suspect has Witness Evidence against that person, but not necessarily that the person who they suspect is guilty. The guilty person will have two Witness Evidence against them every time.

As you get more experienced, you'll prob'ly find that the 'hints' become less and less useful. With each succeeding level of difficulty, you get more and more suspects per case. The people who s'pposedly 'know' something about somebody, but chances are not very good it's gonna be for the person you need it to be--the killer. Moral of the story is, the best thing the hints are good for is giving you a name when you're stuck trying to build up your suspect list. Asking the townies then will occasionally produce a new name that can help revive your case.

And yes, suspects with false alibis lie. They're lying about their alibi. (wink)
