Evidence won't do?

Hi there! I just commited a false accusation and I have to say I'm stunned. I had found out the hair of my suspect was on the crime scene. The problem was that she clammed up before she could give me an alibi, but still, her hair was in the crime scene!
Is this something that happens often? What can I do to prevent it? My detective has no interrogation/rule bending skills, so I can't do a thing about people clamming up :( Once I had a suspect that clammed up at the first question...
Any suggestions?

The following forumlas are helpful in making sure you have the guilty suspect:

Fake/no alibi + Witness Evidence
Fake/no alibi + Physical Evidence
Witness Evidence + Witness Evidence (so, 2 witnesses)

Since you couldn't check the alibi of the suspect you accused, she very well could have had a real alibi...

I might add that Phyiscal Evidence alone, and even Physical Evidence + Witness Evidence, does not guarantee you have the guilty suspect.

Always follow the formulas!

all evidence at the crime scene belongs to one of your suspects but only one piece points to the guilty person

If you have 3 pieces of evidence 2 of them will belong to suspects with real alibis
