Do murder victims respawn?

[Quok in my Rari]

I got a case to arrest someone and quickly realised they were the murder victim from a case recently. Cant arrest a dead person...
Is it an impossible mission now? or is the person alive again somewhere?

I'm at the end of the game and curiously trying to find Onni Johnson. His body has disappeared, and the people tell me they're in Stubbs Delux or at Rose Apartments. Still can't find him yet.

As far as i can tell, arrested people will just keep on running around, but dead people will be removed from the city. And people still tell you, when they've seen them last, because they probably keep informations about everyone at all time.

I just checked. The people on the street tell me Onni Jonson "is here now". Creepy.

Wait, murderers and wanted criminals just stick around? Lame...why not generate new NPCs to replace them in their roles?

Onni Jonson is here now. He's behind you. Can't you hear his breathing? Feel it bristle the hairs on the back of your neck? Onni Jonson is here now. You'll be with him soon, detective.

yeah, had an arrest side quest and after i finished that, i started another quest, where i needed to meet someone in a diner and it was the one i've arrested like 2 minutes ago. They even had the handcuffs still on them^^

To add to this, if npc's are killed, will the population decrease? Or will another npc spawn and either take their place? seeing as most apartments seem occupied as well as jobs taken.

Murders and victims stay dead / dissapeared. But people you arrest for side jobs eventually get released back into the city.
