Detective can't find suspect!

My detective has been trying for several days to find a suspect in an area but nobody has seen her. I have all the clues (female, teen, brown hair, tank top, slacks, ambitious) but I spend all work day asking people if they've seen the suspect but no one has. Is this a bug or do I just have to keep trying to find her day after day? And will she still be a teen then? Could some of the clues be misleading? The bulletin board has an option to "deduce clues" also, should I use that?
I would really appreciate some help!

If anyone knows how to sort this out I'd appreciate it!
She is a female, blond hair, Adult, wear short sleeves and jean but nothing matches at all...
They aren't going to rat out a friend. lol
Try getting one more clue. Seven may help instead of six. At least it may take you back to the station to run more tests on the evidence. And make sure to always check those faded out items for fingerprints they always give a clue. I'm sure you have much more evidence in your inventory try testing more of it. Or if you have the option (own your on) go use the 'talk to chief' interaction and see if that helps. Sometimes, they are either inside or out. Like one time they were in the bar, but next time they finally popped up at the portal in the street at another business..so if you have seven clues it may help more. Just to jar something loose. Not because you really need that seventh clue.
Word of advice don't use the CAS cheat in this game to alter townies. This may mess up the game being able to produce the suspect as someone did this earlier last week and couldn't find the suspect because they had changed some townies with the fullcheat in CAS.
ETA: you will just get an embarrassed moodlet if you try to deduce clues, I think there has to be something more than high logic to be able to actually do that. My Sim has a logic of eight or nine and can't deduce them.

Well, except my townies never (and I do mean never) point in the right direction for the suspect, even if said suspect is sitting right in front of them. (I've tested it lol ) I just put the game on pause and go hunting for them on my own.
I also put the game on pause while looking for clues to make sure I don't miss something........and I've nearly missed things several times. I stopped trying to be in a hurry when running test ect and will run extra when I have the time because it increases the odds of getting a good description and finding your suspect.
At first I had issues trying to figure out what to do for the interrogation. This would have been nice to have it included in the mini tutorial of day 1 btw. But I *think* I might have it figured out, sort of. At least I finally successfully got someone to confess. lol
I must say, so far the open careers are challenging, unlike Ambitions. I don't mind that at all.
My cop was on patrol, had cited 2 folks for fighting. He must've made a witness mad because next thing I know she attacked him. Once the fight was over, he cited her too. lol Would've been great had I been able to arrest her for assaulting an officer. lol I never expected that.
Haha, yeah... maybe that's it!
A pair of pants. They're a bit more fancy than your normal pants usually. Depends really.
Teens cant have ambitious trait. Im looking for about the same suspect except mine is teen boy with ambitious trait.. Must be a bug or something
The only teen male that has shown up is the same one. He is wearing cropped pants, short sleeve shirt. I tried to arrest him and it said I had wrong person so I was penalized. I have gone to 5 different areas and he is at each one but cant arrest him
