I was about to ask why various obvious choices like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot were missing, but then I thought to Google a little. Apparently all your options are characters from CSI.
Unfortunately, I've only seen one episode of CSI. It was "fur and loathing" and I was watching it with a bunch of furries. I doubt this experience has given me an especially sound impression of the series.
Incidentally, I've just noticed something about Evil Edna: looking towards her, her controls are on the left. On almost all normal televisions that have controls to one side, they're on the right.
My next was going to be, "What if I'd been given a slow-acting irreversible poison?" Then I might just about manage to make time to go on livejournal and be offended by your tickybox, before flaming out in a blaze of glory ;)
Well, yes. You have a point, but they also make a pretty good crime busting team, so I'd want them to find out whodunnit. (Far more than any of the blokes, anyway.)
I've never watched ANY of those, and I want Sam Spade to catch my murderer. And if I did it, any of Christie's detectives, coz the holes in her plots are so huge I reckon I'd give 'em the slip without much bother.
I only played some games until I was stuck. The trial version did not stop. But the game Law and Order does not really give an idea of the character of the characters.
Dalziel and Pascoe please, who'd be right-royally-offensive to everyone in the process. And if I did it then I want someone totally incompetant to investigate so that I can get away, of course, not one of these TV detectives...

Easily the best crime thang on TV.

or the lovely ladies of Women's Murder Club.
Oh, or, perhaps, Emily Prentiss and Jennifer Jareau from Criminal Minds.
But that seems to break your poll. ;-)
