I was doing an IH case. I have 8 suspects each (The fortune teller has confirmed that I have all the suspects).
Of the eight suspects
1 is dead.
2 have alibis
1 is innocent through research
2 do not have alibis, but no physical evidence links to them
Of the remaining 2. I have found the names of two suspects who think they know who the murder is (one of which doesn't have an alibi). Neither of the witnesses think the non-witness without alibi is the murderer. But the remaining witness doesn't think the other suspect is the murderer either.
So either the rules have changed (3 witnesses, one of which has misleading evidence) or I got confused on the physical evidence (there were 3 threads - one male, two female). But I made sure to be very careful with that.
So have the rules changed at any point in the last 6 months?

There can be WE against 3 people at lower difficultly level cases. I used to follow the same logic Sam described: if you have WE against two different people, one must be the murderer. But after getting a FA using this logic, I began looking for WE against a third person. I have found WE against a third person twice.
It was some time this summer that I encountered these. I'm not sure at what level, but no higher than IH. I would be surprised if it was that high. Based on the number of cases I have done, this happens at least 0.1% to 0.2% of the time. Probably more, since it could have occurred and not been detected.
I don't know if there were a total of 3 or 4 WE in these cases.
