does the description of the crime scene give any clue to who might be suspect? "...an unusually tidy crime scene..." point to a polite suspect maybe?

No, it just means there is no sense in asking #1 for eye witness accounts. It is useful if you have a short suspect list and everyone is clammed, as any name given you by a townie will be added to your list of suspects, but you will still need to find a motive for them if they turn out to be guilty. It does help restart your suspect list though at times.

Even if the townie says that #1 thinks they know something, remember that suspects can lie, or just be wrong. When relying on eye witness accounts you either need two of them for the same person OR you need a fake/"none of your business" alibi as well as the eye witness acccount.
