Picture this. I was working on a favor at Incredibly Hard level. The Crime Scene revealed 2 curly hairs and two threads that belonged to a woman. Two suspects (Agatha and Madonna) clammed up right from the start so I couldn't tell if they had a valid alibi or not.

I could determine that the 2 hairs belonged to suspects with a valid alibi. I suspected that one of the two clammed up suspects was the killer. The tailor however clammed up at the very first question. I asked the other suspects for witness evidence and always asked about Agatha first. They either clammed up or said they didn't suspect Agatha. At the end I had to quit the case and found out the killer was indeed Agatha.

Did I overlook something or was it just not meant to be solved at all?

Some cases are truly impossible. Today, I had a case where my only lead, other than my client, clammed up, forcing me to find more. After that, I had three more people clam on me before alibis. To top it off, I had three hairs and an unidentified thread... when I have the note person in London. Finally, I managed to find all but one suspect... who I later found out was the murderer.

So, yep, some cases are just too danged hard! lol
