Answer: He didn't have ginger hair

They know from the newspaper that one of the men has a scar on his cheek, but this is Jenkins the policeman who arrested Kane. Holly's dad tells them that Ginger Kane had thick and curly red hair and even 100 years in prison would not see him going thin on top. They were following Alan Jenkins!

Answer: It has been used by mice to make a nest
