I'm not sure the proper steps to solving the Jake's murder quest are. I get as far as the list of suspects, and then the journal stops being helpful. I do know one way to proceed, but it feels like I'm skipping some steps when I do it that way.

Without using Pet Pal - which should not be required to solve this - are there supposed to be some steps in-between
talking to the four major suspects in the body-stealing and using spells to bust down Evelyn's door?
