I’m trying to write a murder mystery novel and I have some questions about the whole process.
Who deals with murder investigations? Just the local police depatment?
If no evidence can be found that points to anyone is the case just closed? If so, how long is it kept open?
If they have people with motive or people they suspect may have done it can they be arrested or is real evidence needed?
How can the victim be murdered? Can it be something simple? Like the other day I was watching this show where a person got hit on the head really hard by a fire extinguisher and they died from it. Would something like that do? I don’t want something really elaborate, like a serial killer or someone with time on their hands who plan it out. More like what an everyday person would do if they suddently decided to kill someone.
Thanks for help.
