I started to do a favor and I questioned the only suspect. She gave me her alibi but then she clammed up so now how do I get to the other suspects?

You can't. You have to quit the favor. I hate when that happens. In the future, ALWAYS ask motive first. Sorry.

I just went through the exact same thing, and it's happened to me before. It's SO frustrating!! Since my only witness had a false alibi, I took a chance and accused him. Lo and behold, he did it. Serves him right for being such a jerk and not helping with the investigation.

CAN'T BE STESSED ENOUGH! ALWAYS ASK MOTIVE FIRST IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON!

if you only have one person, don't they normally give you their suspects when they hire you? also, stress detection helps with this sort of thing i think. better luck next time?

Not in favors... The townie gives you only one person and you have to work with that

Funny, a similar thing happened to me. I had only one suspect, asked for alibi(got it), asked for motive(clamped up), I confirmed that the alibi was false. I decided to go back and accuse. MY ONLY SUSPECT WAS MURDERED. I called it "The Imposible to Solve Case". I lol more than "clamp up" myself.

Vixen is right ALWAYS ALWAYS motive first then alibi. It does not matter how many suspects you start with.

When I first joined Sleuth, I kept making the same mistake, by asking my client for his/or alibi, and they kept clamming up on me. Then I found out from Ben, to always ask my only client, or first suspects initially listed, who had motive to kill. I usually ask this until I've been given all 11 names, then after that, I question the remaining suspects by asking them about their alibis.
