I can confirm this method works. In my experience, you have no other choice but to wait for the next work day where the suspect will be at the station.

When this happens to me, I just have the sim issue an APB again, the same Sim is there so I just arrest them, and then they appear in the cell. Definitely annoying but able to be worked around.

This has happened to me several times. If anyone is still seeing this issue, there are a couple of things you can do that have worked for me. One is yes, issue another APB and arrest the suspect all over again. Another is wait for the next work day and complete other tasks like workout for an hour, or search the suspects that are there. The third I have found to be the least time consuming, and that is to go on patrol for even like 5 minutes, and when you come back the suspect should be there to interrogate. If you have enough time left in the day you should be able to complete that task.

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.29.80.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons, Dine Out, Kitchen Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim employed as a police officer initiate an APB and attempt to arrest the guilty Sim.
What happens when the bug occurs? After the arrest and the detective Sim travels back to the police station, the guilty sim does not return with the detective. This prevents the “Interrogate Suspect” goal from being completed.
What do you expect to see? The arrested Sim should be brought back to the police station in order to be interrogated, fingerprinted, etc.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
Is anyone else having this issue on another platform (non-Xbox)?

This happens to me as well. It has happened on multiple occasions with different cases and different suspects. For now, I use the workaround of issuing another APB and arresting the suspect again. Usually, at the 2nd, sometimes 3rd APB issued, the suspect finally shows up at the police station.

This isnt the first time this has happened. I managed to fix it but quitting and redoing the career. Unfortuantly it didnt work this time. I promoted my sim to level 6 again as thats were it left off. It gave me a new case but I cannot add clues to the board and "Interrogate Suspect" is still on the to do list. I have CC hair and MC command centre and haven't had issues with either before. This issue has happened with or without mods before.
