Fred Graig owns a yellow car. The murderer owns a white car, so Fred Graig is not the murderer.
The suspect who owns a black car was wearing orange shoes. The suspect who was wearing orange shoes has brown hair. The suspect who has brown hair was carrying a black umbrella. Therefore, one suspect was wearing orange shoes, owns a black car, has brown hair, and was carrying a black umbrella. But Jim Smith was wearing black shoes, Bill Edison was carrying a white umbrella, Larry Alberts has red hair, and Fred Graig owns a yellow car. Therefore, the only suspect who could be this suspect is Bob Jones. Since Bob Jones owns a black car, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who has blond hair was wearing tan shoes. The suspect who owns a purple car was wearing tan shoes. Therefore, one suspect has blond hair, was wearing tan shoes, and owns a purple car. Jim Smith was wearing black shoes, Larry Alberts has red hair, Fred Graig owns a yellow car, and Bob Jones owns a black car. Therefore, that one suspect is Bill Edison. Since Bill Edison owns a purple car, he is not the murderer.
The suspect who owns a yellow car has black hair. Fred Graig owns a yellow car. Therefore, Fred Graig has black hair. Larry Alberts has red hair, Bob Jones has brown hair, and Bill Edison has blond hair. Therefore, Jim Smith is the one who has white hair. This means that Jim Smith is not the suspect who owns a white car. Since Fred Graig owns a yellow car, Bob Jones owns a black car, and Bill Edison owns a purple car, Larry Alberts must be the one who owns a white car. Since the murderer owns a white car, Larry Alberts is the murderer.
