I just played 3 cases, & got a Favor from the Music Teacher.She gave me one name Joanna Dickerson,so when I asked her who had motive, she clammed up, and this ended this case called: The Baffling Haunt for the Ancient Sin".The Administration told me to never ask for their Alibi lst for they'll clam up, but I've solved many favors, & now this is the 2nd one I've been cheated out of. This is very disappointing.

sorry i didn't quite understand...the person who told you the evidence, did he/she have a real alibi? and the suspect who was seen washing blood from his/her hands, did he/she have a real alibi?
make sure u dont accuse someone with a real alibi...even if he/she's got an evidence against them!

DaRu, even the people with alibis can be mistaken - you can't be sure that they are more truthful than those with fake alibis when it comes to suspecting someone else.

OK,puzzle solved. I finally napped the guilty party, but found that there were two people blamming each other. I almost blammed the first susp. that was accused of wearing the watch, however, the watch wearer said his accuser had tried to murder the victim a year ago, which proved right when I asked the banker who wrote the threatening note. Until now, all cases solved just so happened to be the guilty party. Which is like in real life situations, guilty persons will lay the blame somewhere else. Thanks for the insight Greyling.
