I had to ask, cause some of these motives are a bit..... just funny? well how many have you gotten rid of for such a horrible offence?

I do love some of the motives for killing people in this game. It would be cool if they could add some more creative/realistic motives than "forgot gift". :)

LOL, when I first started playing I'd rarely question the suspects who forgot a birthday gift, but I always thought it was the drug dealer, or the associate who took a sum of money. For sure I figured the person having an affair with the victim should be the guilty person, but rarely was, LOL. I know I'd would be furious if my spouse two timed me...LOL. Anyway, usually it was my client that was guilty, & thank goodness I had the special skill "Pick Pocket," so I didn't lose my money..hehe. A lot of the time it's been the doctor..which is a lot like in real life situations. Hum,like Dr.Kevorkian...LOL! I've rarely accused a neighbor because of hate, or a best friend because of revenge, but I've had a few that turned out guilty as well. Lately though I've only had one neighbor that was guilty, out of dozens of cases? I'm agree with you Merritt about the motives being a bit more realistic, but it actually keeps me guessing a harder to solve the way it is:)

Correction: I agree with you Merritt 2.0 about the motives being a bit more realistic, however, the way it is keeps you guessing & makes it harder to solve.

I pay no attention to the motives, just as I pay no attention to the type of crime scene. I think they are all just random and don't have anything to do with the actual solution of the case.

This is hilarious!

Solomon was a child. Quiet, non-assuming, and forgotten. Solomon was lost. Solomon Birdsell is dead.

Topping her list was Helen Birdsell, Solomon's Wife. Helen wanted to steal a family heirloom.

Another person she suspected was Brandon Birdsell, Solomon's Son. Brandon wanted revenge on the victim, for a long forgotten slight.

I think the idea is that Solomon (or whoever) was childlike in his innocence.

I still have the image of a child with a wife and son stuck in my mind.
