Where can i locate a person that the client (or anyone else) informs me that is a suspect?

When you ask someone for an alibi, they say where they've been. (ex., tailor, podiatrist, librarian, etc) and when you ask if they know of anyone who has motive, the new suspects will show up on your list. Is that what you meant?

Or do you mean how do you get to interview them? In which case, they appear in a list beside the map. You might find it helpful to play the tutorial game linked from the front page.

I've already played the tutorial and it happened like you descrived. But now, even when I go to check their alibi, they don't apear in the list. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong...

Hummmm...*confused* if they arent on your list, how can you even check an alibi? When you first start a case, after checking crime scene, go to Maps, and there will be one or two, maybe even 3 suspects beside the map. Ask each one about motives....and if any new name they say, it will pop up on the screen. Then, after you get all your suspects, ask their alibi,then go on the map and locate where they say they were at. If they say they were at the Fortune Tellers, go to Fortune Teller,and ask her/him if they were there. Or do it anyway you want to do it but, I always get motives first and make sure I have all of my suspects b4 asking their alibi.
Im still not clear on what you need but...Im having one of them kind of days so it is probably just me LOL ;) Good luck!

I'm in a dead end. I have no more suspects to interrogate (the client is to upset to work along) and I have an handwriting paper, but can't find noone to help me. It's my first case.

When you are at a dead end you have no choice but to quit. (it doesnt go against you) Start again and maybe u will have better luck :) Try the Tutorial again, maybe you are missing something. Never hurts to double check :)

Did you talk to the banker? Since it's your first case, you probably haven't learned yet who to visit to get help with the differing pieces of evidence. Talk to the banker and see if s/he can help you.

Just a thought, Corvis: when you say
"But now, even when I go to check their alibi, they don't apear in the list. "
Make sure you click the Map tab at the top, rather than just using your back button, otherwise you'll get an old version of the list which may not have the person you want to interview on it.
