I'm working on a favor. It's an Intermediate level. I've got 1 piece of PE which is Thread/Female.

Only 2 females have false/none alibi's, but the thread isn't from either of them.

I've asked every suspect who they think is guilty, and no one said either of these 2 female suspects.

What can i do now?

Are you sure you have a complete suspect list? See the fortune teller.

Both suggestions are right, I'd say either you'd missed one of the suspects or you don't have both thread and hair analysis and are missing some PE.

The solution to the second is get them ASAP, they are essential.

The solution to the first is definetly to use the fortune teller on every case, invaluable help.

Thank you for responding, but I'm still stuck and confused.

I did use the fortune teller & have all suspects.

What good would hair analysis do me at this point? I've only got 1 PE and it's thread.

If you only have one thread (PE evidence) then the hair analysis that you do not have might actually be at the crime scene. You wont be able to find that hair, however without having hair analysis. And its a possibility that the hair belongs to a person witha a fake alibi.

Try asking the suspects if they have any reason to suspect a specific person (witness evidence). When the list of names comes up, try first one of the ladies, then the other.

When someone says "Yes, I suspect So-and-so because (insert reason here)", then you have witness evidence and a false alibi... and your guilty party.

Thank you all so much for your help.

I think i must have needed the hair analysis, because Anikka i did ask all suspects who they suspect.

I had to quit the case. I'll work on getting that hair analysis.

Thanks again to you all.

Jessie, are we talking about the same question?

Yes, you go through and ask the suspects if they know anyone who has a motive for murder.

However, there is another question wherein you ask Person A if they have any specific reason to believe that a person is guilty - when you ask, a list will come up of all the other suspect names and you have to choose one.

Did you ask each person that question, too?

By the way, KUDOS to you for wisely quitting the case instead of guessing! :-) Yay, quitting!! Boo, false accusations!!
