Just in case you weren’t aware, that is not a sentence.

Thanks Aspara gus,

Can you please tell me what's the difference between using in and on?

What's the difference between:

in his attempt to track down a killer. And on his last attempt he failed.

Thank you very much!

As mrBen said, in is correct in your first example. On is more natural in your second.
