Dear all,
What is the most accurate Arabic translation for "leads" in:
"He was murdered in 1999. No witness. No leads"
I always translated as أدلة but I began to doubt it. I think there is a difference bet. "leads" and "evidence"
Thanks a lot.

No leads can be translated as :
لا أثر
No problem. Singular form here is correct. As the translation comes in the sense of:
المجرم لم يترك أثرًا ورائه
لا شهود. لا أثر.
بالتوفيق
