Marty Jones was wearing blue shoes. The murderer was wearing white shoes, so Marty Jones is not the murderer.
The suspect who has black hair was wearing brown shoes. The suspect who has black hair weighs 180 pounds. The suspect who weighs 180 pounds was carrying a yellow umbrella. Therefore, one suspect has black hair, was wearing brown shoes, weighs 180 pounds, and was carrying a yellow umbrella. But Brian Davis has white hair, Larry Alberts was carrying a purple umbrella, Bob Morrison weighs 150 pounds, and Marty Jones was wearing blue shoes. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is Fred Stevenson. Since Fred Stevenson was wearing brown shoes, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who has red hair weighs 190 pounds. The suspect who was wearing white shoes has red hair. Therefore, one suspect weighs 190 pounds, has red hair, and was wearing white shoes. Brian Davis has white hair, Bob Morrison weighs 150 pounds, Marty Jones was wearing blue shoes, and Fred Stevenson was wearing brown shoes. Therefore, that one suspect is Larry Alberts. Since the murderer was wearing white shoes and Larry Alberts was wearing white shoes, he is the murderer.
