David Alberts was wearing orange shoes. The suspect who was wearing orange shoes owns a white car. Therefore, David Alberts owns a white car. The murderer owns a red car, so David Alberts is not the murderer.
The suspect who weighs 170 pounds owns a silver car. The suspect who was wearing white shoes weighs 170 pounds. The suspect who was wearing white shoes is not the one who was wearing a blue shirt. Therefore, one suspect weighs 170 pounds, owns a silver car, was wearing white shoes, and is not the one who was wearing a blue shirt. But Fred Martin weighs 210 pounds, Bill Morrison was wearing a blue shirt, Jim Brown was wearing blue shoes, and David Alberts owns a white car. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is John Fox. Since John Fox owns a silver car, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who weighs 140 pounds was wearing red shoes. The suspect who owns a red car weighs 140 pounds. Therefore, one suspect was wearing red shoes, weighs 140 pounds, and owns a red car. Fred Martin weighs 210 pounds, Jim Brown was wearing blue shoes, David Alberts owns a white car, and John Fox owns a silver car. Therefore, that one suspect is Bill Morrison. Since the murderer owns a red car and Bill Morrison owns a red car, he is the murderer.
