Question
-------------------------
Followup To
Question -
I am already stuck in case one. I have matched the fingerprints, interviewed the 3 suspects. I tried making an arrest but it said I missed key evidence. I do not have any new locations to view and no new suspects to interview. The boss and the lady in the lab won't help. Right now I just want a hint. Thanks.
Answer -
It's kind of hard to tell what you've missed.  Have you...

"Read" the newspaper article on the case file?
Had the bullets analyzed?
Visited the church?

If you have, please give me more info on who you've talked to (there are 4 witnesses/suspects).

Hope this helps.

Meg, Yes I have done all of that. I have interviewed Manny Martinez, Edgar Gonzalez (aka Rick Perez), visited the neighborhood near the motel and interviewed the 2 bystanders, talked to the lab lady and the chief detective - none of them have anything new to say. I have reviewed the file on the desk and the evidence in the locker room. I have been to the jail and to the church. I am not getting any new locations to visit or any new conversation choices. I scanned the fingerprints and matched the bullet slugs. I do not have any messages waiting in the envelope thing. Is it possible that if you do things in the wrong order you lose the chance to do it right? I skipped ahead to case 2 and solved that quite easily so went onto case 3 and now I am stuck there too. Thanks for any help. Valerie
