You would have 24-48 hours to figure out where Jim died and how, if you are able to prove who killed him you would gain faction and the killer would lose faction.
That would be awesome. All players or NPCs could leave "trails" representing their last X hours of movement. After X hours, the trail starts to fade. If you have a "tracking" skill then you can see these trails (if you get their in time) and eventually track down the perps. Brilliant!
Mount and Blade had this concept. You ran across tracks if your skill was high enough. The better the skill the more it told you about who left the tracks.
You run across some tracks, put the cursor over it, you get things like, "level 30 male brigand wearing plate, carrying an Axe, has high agility skill".
If your skill sucks you just get, "Male wearing plate".
If your skill is super high you might get a random trinket to prove they were at a paticular place.
