Marty Morrison weighs 180 pounds. The murderer weighs 150 pounds, so Marty Morrison is not the murderer.
The suspect who has red hair weighs 170 pounds. The suspect who has red hair was carrying a purple umbrella. The suspect who was carrying a purple umbrella has a wife named Sally. Therefore, one suspect has red hair, weighs 170 pounds, was carrying a purple umbrella, and has a wife named Sally. But Larry Stevenson has brown hair, Bob Graig has a wife named Pam, David Jones was carrying a red umbrella, and Marty Morrison weighs 180 pounds. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is Brian Alberts. Since Brian Alberts weighs 170 pounds, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who was carrying a black umbrella has white hair. The suspect who weighs 150 pounds has white hair. Therefore, one suspect was carrying a black umbrella, has white hair, and weighs 150 pounds. Larry Stevenson has brown hair, David Jones was carrying a red umbrella, Marty Morrison weighs 180 pounds, and Brian Alberts weighs 170 pounds. Therefore, that one suspect is Bob Graig. Since the murderer weighs 150 pounds and Bob Graig weighs 150 pounds, he is the murderer.
