Two possibilities immediately jump out. One is that it was misdirection to lead a person far from the scent. It's a fun trick to make the solution obvious, then lead the reader away from it by making it seem like they're wrong when you really haven't excluded it at all.

The other is that theories which depend on those things are wrong.

There are various permutations between the two, of course.
