I'm stuck and can't figure out next step(s) to complete. Also, has anyone else noticed that if you have Pet Pal you can find 4 smelly things to narrow down the list of suspects. Great. However, last item can only be located after you actually kill the guilty party which makes this approach to solving the quest a waste of time and pretty useless. The item should be located in the suspects house. Or, do away with this optional approach! Update: Finally solved this quest. You need to speak to a very specific NPC to discover what really happened and the individuals involved during the night of the murder. I entirely missed this person on 2 previous playthroughs. (Palm to forehead). Last edited by Fenix66d; 20/04/14 11:42 AM. Reason: Update

One on their person to be pickpocketed (or used from their corpse) the other is located in their house - except for the guilty party's one, which is located in their workplace.

As for your question, if you entered her house you should find Evelyn's diary + a reveal spell. That should get you going

[/spoiler]I got tired of running around in circles so decided to check out a few walkthrough's and they all say that once you've decided to arrest Esmeralda or not once you return to the house Thelryon will tell you she's left and direct you to where her house is but I've done everything and she's still there..
