    $\begingroup$ @Richard I think it is about the direction/order of the code. To make an H, the code would look more like UHBJOKM or UHBHJKOKM. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @PL457 It definitely is. Think about how most people can't type without looking at their keyboard. Detectives are not exempt from this. Then try typing those characters one after another. It'd instantly stand out to anyone working with the police. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Even I think Norman, but for a different reason. In the clue "cftgbhu", the letters "t" and "h" are present in Hana (H) and Anthony (T - Tony - short name for Anthony), where as Norman doesn't have anyone of these letters. May be the murderer wanted to give an inverse clue! $\endgroup$
