Every once in a while, I ask a question of a suspect or townsfolk, get an answer, and Sleuth forgets all about it. Today, for instance, I asked for an alibi and he said Banker. I went to the banker, who didn't know that she was the alibi. By that time, I had asked the suspect another question, and he clammed up. Turned out that suspect was the guilty one (I already had evidence), but it cost me an extra $800 to prove it! I want a refund! :) (Can I get the money credited to a subscription price? :) :)) Other than double checking everything (takes twice as long), is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

You don't actually have to know that the suspect doesn't have a valid alibi. All you need is evidence and a motive. Alibis are just there to help you narrow down the list of suspects.
Say you're working on a case with 7 suspects, you've found 4 with valid alibis, and the other 3 were with the witnesses you need to help identify the PE. Then just check out the evidence and then head off and acuse the one that the evidence points towards. If you checked the alibis first then they might have clammed up before you could check all the evidence.
What I wish sleuth would do is store negetive evidence (not just alibis) because I sometimes forgot which people I've already asked about.
