how can i find someone with just a description of their hair?
i have a description of someone's hair, but there are far too many people for me to brute force it. there are several people i have seen that have the described hair, but i have no additional clues.

I've got one of these as well. I've got hair, bloodtype, age and the branch of the enforcers that ordered the arrest. I'm lost.

I guess you've asked other people and got this? If yes, then camera footage is definitely your best friend.

If this is a side mision, is worth find the client and search through his contacts.

I had one like that. When I clicked on the connections for the job listing it had the target's name listed. When I clicked it the name of the target on the case board was updated to it. The clues I had was age 45, Likes weight lifting and is hard of hearing. That was all I had.

See where the victim used to work, go there, gently barge the door, look at the walls for pictures of the employees and see if they match the hair (you can also scan each picture for fingerprints).
If there's no pictures on the wall, you can check their profile on each opened PC or even better barge into another room and look at their employement records which also gives you their fingerprints.
If this doesn't give any results then look into the victim's phone book and lastly at each month in their calendars to see if they marked anyone's birthdays thay aren't in the previous places.

If you need more clues, try searching the crime scene for more:
  • Usually you can find some extra finger print types on light switches, the inside of the front door, or opened drawers/cabinets/safes.
  • Murder weapons and calling cards can typically be found near the victim, including underneath them, so look a lot around the body. You can sometimes push the body around by opening and closing doors, drawers, cabinets, etc. to see if they are over something.
  • The message or calling card the killer leaves is helpful to get an idea of the killer (lovesick killer, ritual killer, business colleague), which then points you towards the victim's address book or workplace for suspects, but it is commonly obscured; however, the newspaper will often identify the message or calling card for you and the case name will often be named after the type of killer too.

If you have the age then subtract it from the current year and then scan through the resident files in apartments and the employee files in businesses for profiles with birthdays on that year plus the ones before and after it. For murders you typically only need to check the files in the victim's apartment or workplace.

For hair (or build or eye color), your best bet is to look through security footage of the ground lobby of various buildings and of streets overlooking choke points (a lot of people pass through these areas). You can also look at employee photos on cork boards. Once you have photos, you can then ask around until someone identifies them.

Blood type, interests, health afflictions, shoe size, etc. are tertiary clues you use to check the list of people you find through the methods above, as there is no good way to search en mass for them. Usually you find these by going through personal records in people's homes.
