Bob Alberts owns an orange car. The suspect who owns an orange car weighs 150 pounds. Therefore, Bob Alberts weighs 150 pounds. The murderer weighs 170 pounds, so Bob Alberts is not the murderer.
The suspect who weighs 220 pounds is 5 feet 9 inches tall. The suspect who owns a black car is 5 feet 9 inches tall. The suspect who owns a black car is not the one who was wearing a green shirt. Therefore, one suspect is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 220 pounds, owns a black car, and is not the one who was wearing a green shirt. But David Brown is 6 feet 2 inches tall, Brian Jones was wearing a green shirt, Jack Davis owns a blue car, and Bob Alberts weighs 150 pounds. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is Jim Morrison. Since Jim Morrison weighs 220 pounds, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who owns a red car is 6 feet tall. The suspect who weighs 170 pounds is 6 feet tall. Therefore, one suspect owns a red car, is 6 feet tall, and weighs 170 pounds. David Brown is 6 feet 2 inches tall, Jack Davis owns a blue car, Bob Alberts weighs 150 pounds, and Jim Morrison weighs 220 pounds. Therefore, that one suspect is Brian Jones. Since the murderer weighs 170 pounds and Brian Jones weighs 170 pounds, he is the murderer.
