Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LISTED COORDINATES


A big thank you to teampodcacher for allowing me to borrow some of the text for this cache description from their 'Clue' cache in CA.



“You must drop everything, Sherlock. Never mind your usual petty puzzles of the police-court. It's a vital international problem that you have to solve. Why did Cadogan West take the papers, where are the missing ones, how did he die, how came his body where it was found, how can the evil be set right? Find an answer to all these questions, and you will have done good service for your country."

So exclaimed Sherlock’s older brother Mycroft after the elder Holmes came to discuss some stolen plans to a state-of-the-art submarine. A Mr. Cadogan West was found near the railroad tracks outside the Aldegate station. His body had been placed on a train along the route and had then fallen off near the station. Mr. West had seven of ten plans on his person and was suspected of being a thief and a traitor. It turns out he was in fact a patriot who died in the service of his nation as he tried to recover the stolen plans. Sherlock recovered the 3 missing plans along with the true thieves. What wasn’t known when Mycroft visited Sherlock was WHERE the man died, HOW the man died, and WHO killed him.

To determine the proper coordinates for this cache you must visit these caches:

GC24MZY The Bruce Partington Plans WHERE
GC24QD9 The Bruce Partington Plans HOW
GC24QH0 The Bruce Partington Plans WHO

Evidence in each of the above caches will assist you in eliminating locations, murder weapons and suspects from the lists below. Match the remaining location, weapon and suspect to the corresponding N and W numbers.
Once you have matched the numbers put them in this order:

North 35 09. WHERE / HOW / WHO
West 080 51. WHO / HOW / WHERE

So for example, if you believe that Mr. West was killed in the Kitchen by Mrs. White with the Revolver then the coordinates would be:

North 35 09.058 West 080 51.596
