This post has been removed, as it's not a history question. First, Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, not a real person. Second, the discussion of current affairs (which may be understood by the term "modern day detective") is not permitted in this subreddit: the sub restricts discussion to events/conditions at least 20 years ago (<1995)
