I am having a bit of a wtf Sleuth moment. I am in the middle of a favor case, and there are two suspects named Bertha. Ah... but here's the interesting part: their last names are also the same. Bertha Benedict: there are two of them.

Am I seeing double? Who is this mysterious Bertha Benedict and how can she be two different people at the same time?

Hmmm...

It doesn't happen very often, but I have learned that I need to keep track of the suspects' relationships to the victim. Things like son, sister, doctor, acquaintance, loan shark, etc. I have found this technique sometimes avoid the confusion of similar sounding names as well.

It isn't supposed to happen, that's for sure lol

I had a Vera Baggi and a Vera Derr earlier and I thought that was confusing enough :)
