Please note: All roles, weights, etc. were chosen at random.

Six Geocachers, whose names are geodanimal, fizzymagic, Team Yofa, KG GeoCachers, InTheRough, and bellatrix78 were in an elevator together. Suddenly, the lights went out. When the lights came back on, geodanimal was found stabbed to death. Other detectives have investigated. They have questioned the suspects, the witnesses, and people who know the suspects. They have collected physical evidence (hair samples, fiber samples, etcetera) from the crime scene. They have collected 14 clues, but have not been able to solve the crime. Therefore, they have called in the world's greatest detective... YOU! You must now examine the clues and solve the murder.

No two suspects have the same weight, color shoes, color umbrella, color car, or hair color.

The suspect who owns a purple car was wearing tan shoes.
The suspect who weighs 180 pounds owns a yellow car.
Team Yofa owns a yellow car.
The suspect who owns a black car was wearing blue shoes.
The suspect who weighs 150 pounds was wearing tan shoes.
KG GeoCachers was carrying a purple umbrella.
bellatrix78 has red hair.
fizzymagic weighs 160 pounds.
The suspect who weighs 170 pounds was wearing blue shoes.
The suspect who was carrying a red umbrella is not the one who was wearing black shoes.
The murderer owns a black car.
The suspect who owns a white car is not the one who weighs 140 pounds.
InTheRough was wearing brown shoes.
The suspect who weighs 170 pounds is not the one who has red hair.
