"Messy case?"
You seem to forget that this case was presented to me as an open-and-shut, slam-dunk, "best case" for psychic detectives. It was featured on TV; it had not one but two respected police officers vouching for it. I went into it assuming it would be neither "nice and safe" nor "messy"; I accepted the case because it was said to be so solid and remarkable. I had never heard of the case until Alex presented it to me, so I can hardly be faulted if the "best case" is "messy" and the evidence is unconvincing.
The reason the case has been revealed to be "messy" is because of the scientific research and investigation that I have put into it. (And, yes, this case does involve scientific research; not all scientific research is experimental.)
