Credit goes to @sluwevos (NL1) for coming up with this one!
Seven people are suspects of a theft:
Alex, a brown-haired man with blue eyes;
Boris, a blond man with green eyes;
Chris, a blond man with brown eyes;
Denise, a blond woman with brown eyes;
Rey, a brown-haired woman with blue eyes;
Felix, a brown-haired man with brown eyes;
Gaby, a blond woman with blue eyes.
Detectives Dliu, MAN, and bbbb know that one of the suspects is the thief. After conducting some investigations they share their information. Dliu: “I know the eye and hair colour of the thief, but I do not know who the thief is.” MAN did not hear Dliu and says: “I know the hair colour and the gender, but I do not know who the thief is.” At last, bbbb says: “First I knew only the gender of the thief, but after hearing you I know who the thief is.” The detectives spoke the truth. Who is the thief?

I think it's Felix. Felix is the only man with the same eye and hair color. So with my logic, I deem the thief to be Felix.

So Dilu knows the eye and hair colour so possible suspects are :
chris, denise (blond hair brown eyes)
alex,rey,gaby (brown hair,blue eyes)
If it was Felix or Boris then the hair and eye colour would be enough to identify the thief, so it is neither of them.
Man knows the gender and hair colour so his suspects are :
brois,chris(male,blond)
Gaby,dennise(female,blond)
alex,felix(man,brown)
And bbbb only knew the gender and after hearing both of them he knew who the thief is, so our suspects are the ones that both dilu and Man suspected :
chris,denise,alex
the difference between chris and dennis is their gender, so they can only know be surely identified for bbbb,
alex was also only uniquely identifyable after Man spoke. Of the three of them chris and alex are male so if the thief was male bbbb would now not eb able to identify the thief but since bbbb now can the thief must be female and thus denise is the thief and my awnser, might have messed up somewhere but denise is my awnser.
chris, denise (blond hair brown eyes)
alex,rey,gaby (brown hair,blue eyes)

All I know is that I want is to date all female suspects.If they are at late 20's - early 30's then even better.dliu3 (US1) said:Credit goes to @sluwevos (NL1) for coming up with this one!Seven people are suspects of a theft:

I agree that Denise is the answer.
The only flaw in your reasoning was on Gaby. Gaby was the only person with blond hair and blue eyes. You had her in with the brown hair/blue eyes group.
NOT:
Rey, a brown-haired woman with blue eyes; (Only brown haired woman - MAN would know)
Felix, a brown-haired man with brown eyes; (Only brown hair/brown eye - Dilu would know)
Gaby, a blond woman with blue eyes. (Only blond hair/blue eye - Dilu would know)
Boris, a blond man with green eyes; (Only blond hair/green eye - Dilu would know)

LEFT = 1 Woman & 2 Men
Denise, a blond woman with brown eyes; (bbbb knowing the Gender makes Denise the answer - else he wouldn't know between the two men)
Chris, a blond man with brown eyes;
Alex, a brown-haired man with blue eyes;
@Herveus (AU1) also makes a good point about Alex being uniquely identifiable. You could change the criteria so that bbbb only knows the hair color OR only knows the eye color and the answer would be Alex. As he would be the only one of the final three, who is not blond NOR has brown eyes.
You could also remove bbbb from the Detectives completely, and just have MAN and Dilu confer. Once MAN knew that Dilu knew the eye AND hair color but could not identify the thief, he could re-apply the gender part of what he knew to the final 3 himself and come to Denise as the final answer.....
