The suspect who has grey hair has a wife named Betty. The suspect who has grey hair weighs 180 pounds. The suspect who weighs 180 pounds was carrying a purple umbrella. Therefore, one suspect has grey hair, has a wife named Betty, weighs 180 pounds, and was carrying a purple umbrella. But David Davis has brown hair, Larry Jones was carrying a yellow umbrella, Jack Morrison weighs 170 pounds, and Fred Fox has a wife named Sally. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is Brian Alberts. Since Brian Alberts has a wife named Betty, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who has red hair weighs 190 pounds. The suspect who has a wife named Judy has red hair. Therefore, one suspect weighs 190 pounds, has red hair, and has a wife named Judy. David Davis has brown hair, Jack Morrison weighs 170 pounds, Fred Fox has a wife named Sally, and Brian Alberts has a wife named Betty. Therefore, that one suspect is Larry Jones.
