For example, if I wanted to say "The four most common questions are why did he commit the crime, how did he commit the crime, and how did he know her?"
How would I correctly word that?

The four most common questions are: Where did he commit the crime; Why did he commit the crime; How did he commit the crime; How did he know her (or the victim). I'm guessing no 1 as u only gave 3.Hope this helps

The three most common questions are: Why did he commit the crime? How did he commit the crime? How did he know her?
You didn't offer a 4th so I used 3.

hmm I'm not exactly sure, you only provided three questions. This is how I would phrase it though:
The three most common questions are: how and why did he commit the crime, and how did he know her?
I would condense the two questions into one to prevent redundancy unless you are purposely repeating for an effect. I'm unsure of the punctuation within a sentence, but I would not use a question mark within a sentence.I'm not even sure if in this case it is proper to use one at the end.

The four most common questions are; "why did he commit the crime, how did he commit the crime, and how did he know her?"
Actually that's only 3 questions.Where's the fourth one??

you need a colon.
The four most common questions are: Why did he commit the crime?, How did he commit the crime?, and How did he know her?
A colon introduces a series.
Leave your quotation makes as they are if you mean it to be a quote. I wasn't sure if you needed them.

The four most common questions are; why did he commit the crime,how did he commit the crime, and how did he know her?

"The four most common questions are, why did he commit the crime, how did he commit the crime, and how did he know her?"

In _Alice in Wonderland_, Alice sees a white rabbit muttering to itself, "The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my costly paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She'll get me finished, as helpful as ferrets are ferrets!"
