After a while I figured it out and I think it's a really cool quest, its just hard because modern RPGs have us trained to follow a glowing trail and interact with something very obvious. I thought my game was bugged and I was getting a bit upset. The quest is kind of misleading cause it seems like you should be able to talk to Jorleif but he won't say anything useful. It goes without saying that you should save just in case. With a pickpocket bonus of 60 I was able to get the item almost every time. Also, because the Strange Amulet is so valuable g when stealing it from someone your pickpocket skill will go up every time you pickpocket it. You can repeat this exploit over and over until you are swimming in gold coins. See where this going? You can then pickpocket the item from Calixto and sell it to him again. Once you obtain the Strange Amulet in Hjerim you can then sell it to Calixto for a nice gold. You will need to have a relatively high pickpocket skill, and a moderate sneak as well just in case.

This should complete 'Examine the crime scene', then go and see Jorleif and he'll point you in the right direction.ДЄnyway, thought it was worth a share in case anyone else is having the same problem.

Basically after initiating the the quest at Windhelm, south east of the Temple of Talos I got to a point where the guard at the crime scene instructed me to examine the crime scene. So at first I thought maybe this quest was glitched, but as it turned out, I was just missing something 'simple'. AvataPosted on 02 December 11 atEdited on 03 December 11 at by Avata.
