Motive: a reason.
Opportunity: there was a time they could have committed the crime.
Means: that they were physically able to commit the crime.

A: they're both fine but 'I look for to' is generally used in more formal situations.

For example, "I'm looking forward to the party" sounds more casual/less stiff that "I look forward to the party".

But if you'd sent an email out to a professional contact, for instance, it might be better to close it by saying 'I look forward to hearing back from you' than 'I'm looking forward to hearing back from you'.

It's a really subtle difference though, and it's not that important.
