What if the only evidence you have is a handwriting sample?

Also, Autumn, let me explain what is meant by "psychological prophile". When it says that someone neatened up the corpse, that begs the question:What kind of person would do this? The answer:One who cares for him/her or, in other cases, when it says that a lot of frustration was exerted on the corpse, that would indicate the perp would have to be a man because of his strength.

Josepha, your posts are too funny.
You had THREE experienced detectives who know what they are talking about telling you that you arw wrong.
AND you're STILL disagreeing.
At least you've made me laugh :)

OK, I wasn't gonna do this, but now I think I will. I may not be as experienced as some of these ladies, but I KNOW that the crime scene descriptions are just there for flavor. They mean NOTHING. You must, you must, you must use the formula. If you can't use the formula becasue people have clammed up, then whatever, go with your instinct. But I am telling you, there is NO instinct at play here in Sleuth to get the suspect right!

Well.. if you used process of elimination with accurate note taking.. :)
For example, on an Incred. Hard case where you have 9 people and A, B, C and D have real alibis and E has clammed and but someone saw E wear the victims toupee or whatever it is then you can accuse E.

But wait! Then I guess the formula STILL comes into play ..

OH GOD DAMN YOU PROCESS OF ELIMINATION!

!!!The formula *IS* the only way!!!*

* Not to be confuzzled with ol'J.C's "I am the truth, the way and the light."
Dat dere dis a whole udder kettle of dem fish.

If u cant use the formula, for whatever reason....clam ups etc....then the BEST thing to do, is just to QUIT...not use instinct, BUT, what do I know? LOL ;) To each their own tho....:)

Lady Emerald,
Didn't I mention that I use the formula?? I think I did! However , every once in a while, logic throws you a curveball. For instance, the opium dealer making the the corpse look nice! Whoever heard of such a thing??

Reese,
If you expect me to quit, you've another thought coming!
