@IrishMadCat_EA, After 3 days with the same child showing up, I had my Sim quit the career, so I'm not sure that my current save would be a help. What would help would be a way to abandon a case if it glitches and your Sim can't complete it. (No glitches at all would be great, too, but that might be unrealistic).

There is a way to get a new case but you'll need to use cheats

1. Make sure testing cheats is still active and if not, reactivate it then shift-click on your Sim.
2. Choose: Detective Day Event – DEBUG: Get New Case Event (this will give you a new case)
3. Shift-Click on your Sim again and choose: Detective Day Event – DEBUG: Apprehend Suspect Event (this will give you two new clues to the new suspect)
4. Add new clues to the board and do whatever you normally do to get new clues. If necessary, travel to the crime scene again. The old ones will stay in your notebook. Ignore them. Only the new ones count. Keep continuing to get clues until you have at least 3 or 4 new clues
5. Issue another APB and go find your new suspect

This is from a longer set of instructions for this issue here: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2016/01/arrested-suspect-cant-be-found-at-police-station/ so maybe it's not complete but it should work along these lines.
