For those of you who have achieved two or more ranks. What ghosts/tactics do you use? I normally can get 2-3 ranks on every level before even without needing to upgrade my ghosts. However, when it comes to this particular mission I always almost get the first rank, which is under 20 minutes. My times comes usually in at 20:15 and it makes me mad I think the first problem is that I focus on getting the cop ghost (sorry forgot her name) because I find her incredibly useful later on. The second one is I might loose a helpful ghost because I use my beginning earth elemental ghost to obtain the 2nd one (love earthquake). Any help would be grateful. Oh and up to that point I do have all the ghosts if it helps.

Ha, 20 minutes, my first attempt at this level took me 1hr and 7 minutes. I think i need to re-evaluate my strategies!

Same here!
This was by far my most troublesome mission.

Te help you out.
Start off by making sure that you at least have one electical gist wutg wikd and crazy (the dude you start with is ok) and place him near the switch where the electrical/murder ghost is. (located in the basement)
A cop will have already gone up the stiars but another will soon follow. Hit the skill (wild crasy or something) when he's close to the electical/muder ghosts and viloa -- you gold reserve goes up to 168. But you have to time it right.
Next, immedietaly begin to scare the poeple that are in the jails --with your increased gold reserve you can use two ghosts ( i use quiver and raindancer -- there are toilets there!). I every now and then upgrade Quiver with gore so with flood creates a pool of blood --works wonders.
The best way to get the cop to open the door to the eveidence room is not to scare him (though you must eventually do this) but to have Boo use his rattle chains ability).
Once i do have the cop things start to get nasty. I place the cop in her original place. I use her obsession skill to lure people -- seems to work great. Then just use the laptop for electicy and the skeleton for a corpse ghost. In addition to obession use other ghosts that help lure people inside.
The biggest time soaker does indeed seem to be trring to get that cop to get in the roomm then to the ghost cop.

So there are more ways to release a ghost, i used the water ghost make a flood and then the electric ghost will also be free, but how do you find out who the cop is you need to free blue murder??

So far, in my experience the only way to do that is to either make sure that the evidence room cop has vamoosed to the top floor of the building or scare him away competely (more likely) - The corrupt cop will only take the money when the evidence room cop has gone.

thanx, but i made a mistake on the electic ghost. Or you have to use spark (he can do it himself) and use rain or flood, or spark alone is enough and you just have to wait.

Nobody enters the evidence room. I don't get it. It just doesn't work.

The full solution to getting Blue Murder *SPOLIERS* 1. Drop Static, Cogjammer or another electric ghost on the pre-evidence room computer and start to scare the officer. 2. Once the officer has been scared enough to run away (you may need to hit him with other ghosts to drive him off) the bent cop will make their way downstairs to the money.. you may also want to use the brain ghost to cast attract to possibly fastforward the event. 3. Once the taking money ingame clip has shown, use Blue murder to attract the bent cop to release her.

Don't know if you guys know this or not, but once you've completed a mission and freed a ghost, when you replay that mission, you don't have to free the spirit again. You won't get the points for freeing them, naturally, but you'll be able to get a much better time, and therefore a better score multiplyer. The ghosts you freed on your first time through will still be waiting for you to use on the next mission. Retroguy.
