Doyle is when Holmes goes to Boscombe Valley to investigate a murderer case in which the victim's son is the main suspect. Holmes rummages around the crime scene and made some logical deductions and he zeroes in on John Turner as the culprit. Even though he knows the identity of the murderer, he does not turn him in.
