'detailed fugitives' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'made them incredible?' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'them'+'incredible'='themincredible'
'themincredible' is an anagram of 'THREE BLIND MICE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
