A helpful strategy I use is to start each case asking my non-PE contact if they know anything about the crime. If they say so-and-so knows nothing suspicious, then I know I can ask that suspect for alibi and motives without fearing that I'd lose a WE. It doesn't matter if they clam up after that because you know they wouldn't be able to provide you with a WE anyways. If on the other hand the contact says so-and-so *thinks* they know who the murderer is, I'd be more inclined to reserve my questions with that suspect until I need them (after going through my other suspects), as there is a chance they might be able to point to the culprit.

Explorina, that happens to be chance. If someone says they know something/someone who might have a reason for committing the crime, it makes them a possible witness evidence. HOWEVER, this does NOT mean that who they suspect necessarily committed the crime. In the same line of thinking, just because a suspect thinks they know something about someone else doesn't make them a killer - it's possible they just want to lead you off on a rabbit trail, or it could mean that they actually know something.
Note: as a follow up, if someone who has a valid alibi claims to know someone who might have something to do with a crime, they are NOT always right - they could still be wrong, even though they themselves aren't the killer.
