A theft, involving approximately $10,000 worth of jewelry, was reported at 8:34 a.m. I was assigned the case at 9:30. The victim is eager to take action and wants the thief sent to prison. Further, the theft victim suggested that I check out three people who may have been at the scene at the time of the crime; a cook, an electrician and a personal assistant. All were easily contacted and appeared to have known about the jewels but felt no temptation to steal them. I am looking for the possibility that the jewels are hidden.

Q. About the above passage.
1. 'I' am looking for a lead. -----the use of 'lead' is right?
2. The people pointed out by the vicitim seemed to have had no temptation to steal the jewels. ----- ths use of 'pointed out' is right?

1. OK
2. I'd use "indicated."
