Clammed up with no alibi - Murderer

Hi experts, I wanted some advice for some Incredibly Hard cases that I've quit. There are a couple of cases that I've quit where the murderer was someone who didn't provide any alibi and clammed up immediately.

I find that I don't have enough witnesses able to evaluate all of my false/none/missing alibi suspects because they clam up before I can get enough questions out, even with Advanced Interrogation.

Is the only available approach here to get the various advanced analyses techniques to cut down the number of potential suspects?

Appreciate any inputs on this!

It would be best to switch down to playing lower level cases for a while so you don't have to quit so often. Accumulate your skill points and (if you haven't already) focus on getting skills that match well with your detective's character (i.e.Tough). So you're looking at things like Interrogation, Intimidation etc, which will increase your type of detective's ability to get suspects to 'open up'. Stay away for things like Flirting and Sweet-talking.

Also if you don't already have Research then that's a very useful skill which will eliminate one suspect with a fake alibi.

Happy sleuthing.
