Guilty client with no motive

I'm new to this, but it's a great game!

I'm playing on Intermediate, and have figured out that the guilty person is my client. Unfortunately, the other suspects either didn't mention her, OR they have clammed up.

I don't have sweet-talking, intimidation, or anything that could make the suspects give me the information, so it seems like I'm stuck knowing that my client is guilty but not being able to accuse her.

What should I do? Is there a way to solve the case, or do I just need to quit?

Elyon's Strength,
Thomas of Hunter

Sad to say, you just need to quit. It happens that way sometimes. Many people, myself included, ask the motive question first, until all suspects have been accounted for and all motives revealed. Then you don't get stuck in this predicament. It's the one piece of information that you really can't get any other way.

that stinks.

Would it be worth it to just make a false accusation, then pay the $400 to get my record cleared, instead of putting a black mark on my "cases quit" record?

Cases quit is not a black mark, just a stat that only you see.

It is infinitely better to quit than to make an FA, ESPECIALLY in the case where you know who it is and just don't have a motive.
