Ruling Out Extra Evidence

If you have a case with multiple pieces of physical evidence (say 3) and you discover 2 of those belong to suspects with real alibis, does it mean that the 3rd piece of evidence MUST belong to the killer?

(I'd found a chart for pieces of evidence/difficulty of case, i.e. 2/Easy, 2/Intermediate, 3/Hard, 3/Really Hard, 3/Really Really Hard, 4/All Others,)

So if I use the above chart to make sure I've found every evidence available, am I able to conclusively say that the last piece of evidence has to belong to the guilty suspect?

To further clarify, I'm to the point where I have enough skills to sometimes know if a hair is curly or straight, for example, but not enough skills to keep all my suspects/townies from clamming up before I can get their alibis. Trying to figure out if I can use deductive skills in cases like these where the alibi is unknown but it would make logical sense for it to be this suspect.
