I have a question..
I found a piece of hair AND a threatening note at the crime scene and I narrowed it down to 2 suspects.. I analyzed them with the barber and the banker and the evidence did not match to the 2 suspects... is that possible? Like maybe there would have been some threads at the scene that I couldn't pick up without the skill?
Ok that was confusing, but does anyone understand what I'm trying to say? Thanks!! :-)

To answer your question, alljackedup, if I'm understanding it correctly... yes, it's possible to NOT find evidence that really is there. That being said, only one piece of evidence will belong to the killer. All other pieces will belong to innocent people. Therefore, if you've found all the evidence at the scene, and you confirm that none of them belongs to a certain person, that person can be assumed innocent, since the killer always leaves one piece of evidence at the scene.
Here's a chart so you know how many pieces of evidence you should be finding based on difficulty:
Easy -- 2
Intermediate -- 2
Hard -- 3
Really Hard -- 3
Really Really Hard -- 3
Incredibly Hard and above -- 4
If you don't find that number of pieces of evidence at your crime scene, you haven't found all the pieces, so you can't really use the above method for ruling out suspects. You still might make a lucky guess though, and find out that a piece you did find belongs to a suspect. :P

Anita's numbers are very good benchmarks for the amount of evidence at a crime scene, but those are the maximum amounts possible for those levels... due to the random nature of cases, it is possible to have 1 less than the listed number, with the exception that there will always be at least 2 pieces of evidence.
In other words, it is entirely possible for an AI case to only have 3 pieces of evidence, but never 2 and never more than 4.
