What do you do when you're positive you know who committed the crime(there's physical evidence, he has no alibi, and someone says he over heard this guy threatening the victim) but you can't find a motive for him!

I've spoken to all the suspects and all the store owners, and I've got nothing! There's only one suspect who hasn't told me who he knows that has a motive, but when ever I ask him, it says that whole "At that, he clammed up" thing, and the only option I have is to leave.

I can't accuse the guy if I don't know his motive! Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me, or will I have to quit the case?

Thanks!!

If he is clamed up then you will not get him to answer.

There is a skill (Surveillance) that would give you a second chance to crack that suspect.

You unfortunately will likely have to quit the case.

If you were Subscribed you could join an agency and get help from other members who might have better skills or otherwise help solve it for you.

You already like it here, come on, get a subscription. All the cool kids are doing it.

I've been thinking about getting a subscription... but in the meantime, thanks for the advice!! Ugh, now I have to quit the case :(

How did you know she was guilty?

to accuse you need:

liar/none + PE = guilty
liar/none + WE = guilty
WE + WE = guilty

Most likely you made a mistake in your note keeping and accused the wrong person.

While a bug in a case is extremely rare I have never heard of one that breaks the rules. Bugs in cases are things that stop you from solving it, etc. and are usually browser based on the players end.

Yep but dont worry it happens to the best of them....just remember when in doubt quit I just had to pay shady over 4 thousand dollars to remove a false accusation because I was in a hurry to solve the case and clicked on the wrong suspect.... it sucks but I wont get in a hurry anymore thats for sure.... I tend to just chalk it up to being new but I know it was my mistake and I gotta fix it myself.
