Couldn't resist.
Also, I love this thread. You guys are doing great!
Bigby Wolf, Mowgli, or Detective Chimp.
I'm disappointed there hasn't been much in the 'reasoning' of why you'd pick your guys. I don't even know who Detective Chimp is.
That's easy. I'd hire Jessica Fletcher, then kill her.
You see, whenever Jessica Fletcher visits an old friend, or goes out of town, or sets foot outside her doorstep, someone drops dead. She eventually catches the "murderer", explains the evidence, then they inexplicably confess.
Clearly, Fletcher is some kind of mutant telepath or alien being who gleefully kills thousands just to pin the crimes on her poor, brainwashed dupes. If she's in the area and I can hire her, that means she did it. ***** needs a bullet in the brainpan. Bad.
Bigby and Mowgli are the ultimate trackers, Bigby can handle anyone in a fight, and Mowgli is multi-lingual ( this is especially handy, because my murderer would probably be someone of international origin, maybe Canada). Detective Chimp has his ape abilities which almost make him overqualified for solving my murder.
Overall, I'd expect my mystery to span more than two continents, and less than five countries. There would be a foxy vixen in each exotic local, each different than the last (i.e. one white, one black, one anti-black, one caucasian etc.) all of whom are mourning my death. Slowly the proverbial sweater becomes unraveled, eventually ending in a vehicular chase (submarine I hope) and the final showdown with the villain being set on fire and taking a tumble off a cliff, landing in a pile of pillows....just kidding it was really a vat of acid. The detective goes home, receives his payment, then spends it on binge drinking. The end.

You wouldn't even have to bother with Columbo because by the time he's on the case you would have already seen the murderer commit the crime yourself.
I suppose if somebody killed my family I'd just as soon travel the world for a few years honing my own detective skills and martial arts prowess under all the greatest masters and then have my revenge after getting close to the murderer and eliminating everything important in his life one thing at a time.

So instead of having a world famous detective solve your case you would do it after it went cold?
Dirty Harry is not a detective.See how psychological this is?
Worry when someone picks Dirty Harry.
