Suspects spontaneously appearing

I posted this here instead of the newb board because I've actually been playing longer than my profile suggests (this is my second character, my first lost his license :( ).

Twice in the past couple of days I've seen something happen that I'd never seen previously - suspects spontaneously appearing in the sidebar. In other words, I didn't get the suspect's name from another suspect or a townsperson and they weren't one of the original names the client gave me, but they showed up in the sidebar anyway.

I know I didn't get the name from another suspect, because each time no motive was given. I know I didn't get the name from a townsperson via the "Have you heard anything about the case" question, because when you get info from that it shows up on your "Case" tab, and I checked and nothing was there either time.

So is this a bug or am I just noticing this for the first time somehow?

Yeah, Dave your explanation sounds like it makes the most sense. I'd never heard of that before. Like you and Breitkat said, I guess I just breeze through the plot twists. This is the first time I've heard of this. I always assumed that - except for Larry the Toe and the faction +'s and -'s - that the plot twists were purely for flavor.

The weird thing is that I really don't remember that ever happening before. I guess maybe it did happen to me before, but I managed to get the motive before I even noticed the extra suspect.

Dave has got it right. U do get names from the plot twists. Lock picking gives U either the alibi of the person U have picked lock or the names of people that person suspects alongwith their motives (which is the same as asking a person for the names of people they suspect). In Lockpicking, once a new suspect is named, it automatically comes with the motives of the new suspect.
