There's away to keep anyone from running away without buying this skill: tabbed browsing (in Firefox, Opera, etc.; any browser except Internet Explorer).
Here's what I mean. Let's say I've just started a case and searched the crime scene. Then I go to the map. I click on one suspect and ask about motives. Then I middle-click "Leave." This opens the map in a new tab. Then I (left-) click another suspect, and so on. When I've got all of the suspects on my list, I open another tab for city hall to use Research. Then I go through all of my suspect tabs (except the one Research cleared) and ask for alibis). Then I open a new tab for each townsperson and confirm the alibis (and ask for hints). When I'm done, I close the townspeople tabs unless they have PE or wanted a bribe for an alibi. Then I open a tab for the case file. I open a tab for each of the suspects on there (except the one Research cleared), then close all the ones with a valid alibi, or, if I'm lucky enough, those who can't possibly match the evidence. Then I ask about physical evidence, etc.
The point is, I open a tab to question each suspect ONCE, and leave it open the whole case. I never have to click the link to go back to that suspect, so they CAN'T go into hiding. It's like my detective is at all of their houses at once! They also can't be murdered, which I'm less happy about, because sometimes it eliminates a suspect for you.
