Sample idea:

Have you noticed that when the police investigate a murder the newspapers often print a lot of details about the victim's past? That means the police - and journalists - have been investigating the victim as well as the villain. Hopefully something in the victim's past will lead them to the killer, since in many cases the victim knew their killer. But if there's something in the victim's past that's worth printing in newspapers (and there usually is!) then it's probably because the victim isn't quite the innocent person they first appeared to be. Not only are they not so innocent themselves, but they'll probably have a few dodgy connections with some of the other main suspects in the case. The whole case becomes linked together by multiple threads that all intersect with each other. That makes for an intriguing story that really captures the reader's interest.
