In a crime story, the details become tremendously important - where the staircase was in relation to the bed, for example.

Crime stories show us the part of people's lives they try to keep hidden.
Crime cases tend to be fascinating until you figure out what happened.
To be memorable and to have dramatic impact, informational detail must function actively within the dynamic of a story.
In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren't absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources.
People just like a good crime story; they want to know who did it.
Big stories have lots of angles, and you have to decide what part of that story you want to address.
What makes a story a story is that something changes. Internal, external, small or large, trivial or of earth-shattering importance. Doesn't matter.
Crime stories are, as you know, one of the most popular forms of entertainment that exist. If you then try to have something to say... that I have, of course.
As a journalist, the details always tell the story.
Storytelling isn't an Escher staircase.
