I have recently been experiencing the same bug. Never had this issue before, but it has been awhile since I've joined this career.
I saved my game at the start of the working day, tried to find the suspect in multiple locations and reloaded the game at the end of the day to try again. It took me 4 redoes to get the suspect to appear and even then I randomly picked someone because I didn't trust the clues any more.
Suspect was supposedly:
EDIT: it seems like there's a new possibly related bug: when I ask sims if they've seen the suspect, I get no notification of what they're saying. Very annoying, since I was able to catch the suspect last time by looking for the 'Isn't that them?' message.
I have the same problem. the clue is not correct , when I ask sims if they've seen the suspect no response. Is frustrating . This bug persist and not correct with any patch!
I'm having the same problem.... I can't advance my detective career because no one ever shows up matching the clues....
So instead of going by the clues, I just arrested the person someone pointed to... who was NOT a young adult, did NOT have a jacket, and had BLACK not blond hair.... and it was correct!
