I have started a case where my first suspect has clammed without giving anyone's name But I got a second name from a twist. Why doesn't that name feature on the suspect list???

I think it's only the twist where the suspect is arrested that reveals new suspects.

There's a twist about a nightmare and a photo covered with blood. It gives the name of a suspect, but it does not appear on the list. I had this twist quite often, so I think it was meant to be this way.

But this should unlock the suspect... I just had a close shave... The second last person gave me the name otherwise I had to be stuck.

Unfortunately, as Jojo said, only the twist where the suspect is arrested unlocks a new suspect. So if you had that twist with a bloody photograph, then no wonder you did not get a new name on the list. Believe me, I had this twist dozens of times - it always works like this.

So asking townies is the only option in your case... Which you did and it helped:)

I've always found that the person in the bloody photo is the next one killed once you get him on the list. If you solve before he is killed then you'll find his name on a "to do list" when the killer is arrested. (he was going to kill him later.)

Sophie, there are actually two possible endings for this twist:
1. If the person in the photo is innocent, in the end you'll be told that the murderer planned to kill him/her next. (You mentioned that)
2. If the person in the photo is guilty, you'll be told that he/she took the photo of himself/herself immdeiately after the murder.
And I think I had cases when the second person killed was not the one in the photo. So I believe this twist does not have to do anything with game mechanics - it is purely of entertainment.
