Suspect won't join me at the station, can't interrogate! Help!

I have the same problem

I find how to fix this. May be my sims fitness skill not high enough and the suspect escape during return to police station. I do to another APB and arrest suspect in another location. Now the 2nd time return to police can interrogate the suspect.

i've arrested a suspect 4 different times now for this case, he doesn't return with me. I've had the problem before, but if I issue another APB, go arrest again, and come back, he's with me. That didn't happen this time. I quit the job and regot it, didn't work. I uninstalled/reinstalled Sims (which took FOREVER) and that didn't work. I was level 9 and now my sim died and I have to do it all over again :(

I had this this morning. Save, repair game then try the apb and arrest again (that worked the first time and allowed me to get a few more cases closed). The second time this happened repair didn't help so I removed the few bits of cc I got rid morning and it was fine. No idea which fixed it for me, or if it was just dumb luck it fixed. Other people have left the career, re-joined and then cheated back to the right level and that fixed it too. Hope you can sort it, it drove me mad!

Ps cc was all from MTS and was new today, a dresser and fix for some blinds and some rugs - I honestly don't think these caused the issue, but just in case.

Wow looks like detective career has a lot of bugs. I found another bug that the suspect is teen female with ambitious traits. This is definitely a huge bug because teen cannot select Ambitious in CAS. It took me 6 times APB with same girls outlook but wrong traits , so I cannot asserts her nor my sims performance drop. We need to wait path to fix this bug.

well the sim I had in the detective career died, so I'm gonna play out the doctor, scientist, and play some more with my retail store, hopefully a patch will come out and then go for the detective career again. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Yeah, I love the detective career when it works right, but half the time it seems something goes wrong and I have to try and reset things to fix it. The clues never match up with the suspect (only half of them are usually true), the bulletin board doesn't always show the right options (like saying "go to the crime scene" when it should say "issue APB"), and sometimes the people I arrest don't show up for the interrogation like this thread says.

The Sim not showing up for the interrogation has happened three times so far- twice the Grim Reaper was the one I was supposed to arrest and the third time it was the chief of police... both situations were funny up until I realized that I couldn't complete the mission.

I really hope this is a patch-able thing and isn't broken for eternity.

Got it!! Well, it worked for me anyway.
Just as you start arresting your suspect, pause and save the game (always in rounds of at least 3, incase of incidents). then play, and HOPEFULLY you'll have your suspect with you to interrogate. Wasted all my sims work day on this so doubt she'll get her case closed, but it's a start :)
Good luck!!
And if it does work don't forget to save again afterwards :)

If you change households alot you need to go back to crime scene to update your clues in case suspect aged.

Same problem!!! I've tried 3 times and the same suspect has been there. I know it's him as he fits the description, but every time I go and arrest him, he isn't there when I go to the police station. And he couldn't have aged as he is an elder and the description says it is an elder.
