Walkthrough
Since the list of items to find varies each time you play the game, the screenshots below do not mark the location of each object. Only the items that are constant in every game are indicated below, such as evidence, inventory tools, sheriff’s badges, and stolen items.
A Sherriff’s Badge is marked with a star.
Items shown in the screenshots may not be listed on your taskbar right away. You won’t be able to click on them until they eventually move up on the list.
