Floor plan of “Death at the Campsite”. Letters mark the objects; the key is below.
Each suspect comes with what the witnesses remember. Read them all before placing anyone — a clue about one person is very often what pins down another.
Alex — a man with brown hair and glasses
He was on a car
Bella — a woman with black hair and glasses
She was beside a shower
Cyrus — a man with red hair and a beard
He was in the Kiosk
Dalia — a woman with blond hair
She was in column 1 and she was not in row 1
Elsa — a woman with red hair and glasses
She was the only person on a mud puddle
The victim, Viraj, is a man. Nothing else about them is known, and no clue depends on it.

No room was empty.
How Hard It Really Is
Deduction steps from the first clue to the verdict
Before anything else, count where each suspect could be if you only read their own clues:
Alex: 2 possible tiles
Bella: 4 possible tiles
Cyrus: 4 possible tiles
Dalia: 3 possible tiles
Elsa: 2 possible tiles
That is as far as this page goes. From here on it is yours — the in-game hint giver explains each next step if you get stuck, without giving the answer away.
This case has exactly one solution, and it can be reached by forward deduction alone — no guessing.
