Types of murders.
I want to lay off the game until next major update in the roadmap, but before that I want to check if i've investigated all types of murders available so far. Feel free to tell me which ones you encountered and i did not. So here the ones i solved:
1. Hired killer (tutorial case, killer had Vmails about marks on his cruncher)
2. Co-worker Killer (woman was killing her coworkers, leaving business card on the scene)
3. Ritual killer (victim had a ritual red circle drawn around them, usually comes with the piece of paper containing anagram for killer's name)
4. Lover Killer (victim had a lipstick-drawn heart around em, lipstick with fingerprint usually on the scene, victim been stalkered)
5. Toy Car Killer (killer left toy cars with fingerprint on each of the murder scenes and a writing on the wall)
The toy-car killer case was most interesting cause all i had on murderer was the fingerprint, i really had to use ALL the systems available to me to solve the case - cameras, neighbors, checkin sales records of all the shady businesses in town - I enjoyed it a lot. Murder appeared to be an Enforcer and i saw him on the cameras before, but never thought Enforcers could be generated as murderers.
The next case after these five was again the ritual killer with anagram paper, so i wonder what others have experienced so far, please let me know down in the comments.

I arrive at the crime scene the same time as the enforcer, she was openning the blast door. I wait outside appartement as she clear the murder scene and went inside when she as finish. I found the fingerprint of the murder on the crime scene. Then exit the appartement and .. just for good mesure .. i ask the enforcer is fingerprint .. she say yes .. 3 seconds later she was handcuffed and arrested for murder. I was in shock to realise that not only enforcer can be killer, but they can be the one who clear is own crime scene. Amazing.

They do, it just may be in an awkward to reach place like under a safe (happened to me once, I had to use a Frame disc to go maximum short to reach it) or under a sofa. In the latter case you're kinda boned until they kill again. Still, it's worth sweeping the crime scene again.

It also may not be close to the corpse. I've found them two rooms over.

Go back to the murder scene and search again. It's there but it can be well-hidden, check the corners, behind doors, on drawers, etc. I had a case like this where I didn't find the paper, but I had found it in the past, so I closed the door I entered by and there it was.

You don't need to find the anagram to solve the murder, the game seems to follow the philosophy for d&d mysteries where there are always multiples of the same clues & ways to finish a case. E.g. in one of these cases, they were murdered by the person who lived across from them.

I also find the murderer & victim are often not in the address book for each other, so you can create suspects by reverse elimination. If neighbours don't have each other in the address book, but they have everyone else, that can be a red flag.
