Red Stilettos?
Yes! (I just love that name.)
Correct.
Brother Cadfael is right, picker.
Our story continues…
“You say the perpetrator crushed her victim with an enormous fruit?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What sort of fruit was it?”
“A green apple, sir.”
“A green apple… Where could she get a green apple the size of a car?”
“There’s only one place I can think of, sir.”
“Well, you’d better get some detectives down there, then.”
“Yes, sir… uh, sir?”
“What is it?”
“Do we have any submarines in the motor pool?”
Request: Would folks mind identifying new entries, and quoting originals when adding additional clues? I can’t always tell the difference. Thanks.
New clues for my unsolveds:
“Are you certain this person was a recipient of public assistance?” the Chief asked.
“Absolutely. And we know they were willing to go to any means.”
“Anything else?”
“Only that they prefered to speak in slang.”
“We thought we had her, sir. Unfortunately, we were on the trail of her mother, who has the same name. We tried questioning her brother, but he was crazy as a loon.”
“What else do you know about him?”
“Not much, sir. Just that he enjoys alliteration and rhyme.”
“What about the suspect you were going to question?”
“Dead end, sir. He had the same first names as the suspect, but when we got to him, he had been murdered.”
“Murdered? How?”
“Seems he had killed an old lady and was threatening her grand daughter when a vigilante chopped him to pieces.”
The Scrivener?
Clue 12345: Witnesses could not see the suspect directly, but saw his reflection in a shop window.
JT, did you mean “bicycle wheel”? If so, I’d finger Broken Spoke.
The murderous wife is Agrippina. The uncooperative son is Nero. The crazy brother is caligulathegod. A typical Doper family.
This hapless victim has gotta be named Claudius.
Winnah, winnah!
Yes, Agrippina, Nero, Claudius, and caligulathegod are correct.

Yes!
Yes!
Oops. :o It was Ike all along–sorry!
Crime #23094834: The suspect was seen by several witnesses escaping in a fire engine left at the scene by rescuers, loudly honking its horn and pumping his fist in the air while yelling.
Continuing: The lead investigator, realizing they missed the perpetrator just barely, was heard lamenting, “If only we’d gotten there 5 minutes earlier, we could have sent him straight to jail, and he wouldn’t have been able to collect the $200.”
This one wouldn’t be as obvious as Go You Big Red Fire Engine, would it?
Yes… :o :o :o
The only crime I’ve commited is changing my user name, Sir!
Signed,

Oops… well, since he’s been posting in this thread, that would be the first name that comes to mind when you mention a fire engine… 
Hmmm… I’d guess Monopoly Money if it weren’t for the large animal tracks. There used to be a horse and rider token in the game, but now the only animal token is Scotty the dog (not to be confused with other dogs having those same initials).
Yes, that is whaat I meant. I’m not familiar with any doper by that name, though.
