How much do we need to know about the murderer to win?We know he was convicted by Donald, and killed him with a shoelace, wo we need much more, or just a key fact or two?
There are a couple of other little small points, but I think you are close enough.
The full story: Jeff was wrongfully convicted of murder by Donald, and spent 10 years in prison. When he got out, he changed his name and started a new life as a show salesman. one day, Donald comes in looking for shoes, but doesn't recognize Jeff. Once alone, Jeff takes a shoe-laces, strangles Donald, and puts the shoe-lace back. Finally, getting his revenge.

I wouldn't mind if someone else would run the next one. Either make up your own case, or I can type up one from the game.

Wow, I log on for the first time since yesterday afternoon and an entire thread has exploded into existence at 115 posts long...and it's a game that I wouldn't mind playing :D. I might think up a case of my own at some point, but for now I'll see how it goes trying to ask questions. I like those kinds of games (though haven't played a solve-the-crime one before) :).
I won't be on much tomorrow, but I will start a new one either tomorrow night or the day after.
