What I'm worried about with all these new proposals for more stuff for the detective to track is that a lot of them would be redundant or go unused, while at the same time being a potential source of major lag (what with having to be updated in every single interaction).
Remember that the detective/sec can spend all round tracking down a suspect, whereas the traitor has to balance out covering their tracks and carrying out whatever shenanigans they have planned. There's only so much you can add on before you get to the point where it becomes functionally impossible to cover up after yourself, at which point traitors will just go 'fuck this', drop the whole stealth thing, and blow up the detective's office at the start of every round.
