To expand on what @BK747 said, once you get fingerprints, samples, witness testimonies, you go back to use the various equipment on it. You can cross reference Witness Testimonies on the computers. You can analyze the fingerprints and samples on the science machine (can't think of it's name at the moment.) Once you have all that, you then add the clues to the Case Board, and eventually, you'll build a profile of the perp. The board will gradually fill up with pictures and images as you get closer and closer to a full description of the suspect, and at a certain point, I don't believe you can add any more. Once you have at least 2 descriptors of the suspect (logged in your notebook on your phone), you will have the option to issue a APB on any suspects matching that description. Then you'll be sent to a random lot, where there will be various individuals matching the descriptors you have. The more complete your case board was (and thus, the more descriptors you have), the smaller the pool of suspects will be on the lot. Eventually, you will have to arrest one of them and take them back to the precinct, where they will be in the prison cell near the front side of the PD. You can select the interrogation table to interrogate them. If you had multiple suspects when you issued an APB, there is a chance you could have arrested the wrong person, in which you'll screw up your case and have to accept defeat. That's why I emphasize it's best to fully flesh out your case board before issuing an APB.

As a glitchy bonus, extra evidence in your inventory that you haven't analyzed or cross referenced from one case is totally usable once you start a new case, and you can "cheat" by analyzing and cross referring that evidence for the new one without actually having to go to the new crime scene for more evidence.
