Here we are at the crime scene. Looks like quite a mess.

You've found two pieces of physical evidence, both threads. Some types of physical evidence can only be found if your detective has the necessary skills. In this case, we're assuming your detective has the skills to locate out of place threads. In addition, your detective happens to be skilled enough to determine whether those threads belong to a piece of clothing typically worn by a woman, or one worn by a man.

In Sleuth there is always more than one way to find the killer, so getting by without certain skills usually just requires a slightly different strategy.

I visited the scene of the crime.

Although there were signs of a struggle and quite a bit of blood was scattered around, the body of Loretta Sheriff looked oddly peaceful, as if somebody had carefully arranged it after the murder.

I started searching for clues...

  1. Using your skills in Thread Analysis, you discover a a Thread, caught under the victim's fingernail.
    Furthermore, you determined it to be Thread from male's clothes
  2. On closer examination, you spotted another Thread in the victim's hand. This thread matched neither the first one found, nor the material from the victim's clothes..
    Furthermore, you determined it to be Thread from female's clothes
