Especially the ones I highlighted/made bold above.I'm a former PI myself (and man just tonight I was thinking about how much I miss it) and usually I run a game case the same as a real case.Lots of surveillance of probable suspects, undercover work, informants, interviews and interrogations (when possible), reconstructions, etc.And beleive me you won't solve every case, and sometimes you might not solve it til much later. I recently helped resolve a ten year old homicide cold case (I had first worked it right from the murder) about a year and a half ago, quite by accident, by having an unrelated conversation with one of the principles. The feeling you get from something like that is indescribable. I had never really given up on it, but then again I had resolved that I would never resolve it. Unresolved cases, especially particularly violent felonies, stick with you. Resolving them when you think you might never, well, it's indescribable. In the end all crimes are about people, offenders and victims. Come to know the Victim and you often come to know the Offender, even in stranger murders. Though often you don't know what you really know until you realize what you're looking at after a perp gets busted on a separate or unrelated charge and a tie in shakes loose. Then you realize that if you had just understood the victim better, you could have likely collared the real perp early on.But in any case sounds like you have a good grasp of the concepts and how to work them.</blockquote>
