Used in one children's mystery, in which an unknown student was sending anonymous letters to the teacher, telling her all of the mean-spirited things said behind her back. This causes the teacher to be miserable and make all of the students feel horribly guilty. The only clues are that the mysterious student spells "sincerely" incorrectly and leaves a glob of ink as a signature. Eventually, they narrow it down to one person and trap her by innocently bringing up the ink blob. She blurts out "That's not an ink splotch, it's the shadow -". Busted.

Good example, but it needs the work title.

This should probably be changed to "I never said it was X"

It almost certainly won't get changed to another dialogue title, though.

isn't it possible the person is not the criminal but a witness who was withholding information for whatever reason?

Yes, this is certainly a possiblity; however whether or not this trope would prove the witness to be an accomplice, mastermind, or simply a witness would depend on the question/context.

These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.
