Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates! Find the Clues, then solve the Series!

Oh no! Mr. Boddy has been murdered! It's time to decide, once and for all, just whodunnit.

After inviting six acquaintances to his manor for the evening, it turns out that the poor soul, Mr. Boddy has been killed by one of his guests. No one else was there that night, so that means that it must have been one of Col. Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Prof. Plum, Mr. Green, Mrs. White, or Mrs. Peacock. Additionally, Mr. Boddy was clearly murdered using one of the following weapons: A wrench, a rope, a candlestick, a knife, a revolver, or a lead pipe. (Somehow, the police don't seem to be able to determine exactly which of those killed him. A bit surprising, really, you'd think it'd be obvious.)

The only other piece of information needed is where the deed was done. The only rooms it might have been in were the Hall, the Lounge, the Dining Room, the Kitchen, the Ballroom, the Conservatory, the Billiard Room, the Library, and the Study.

To determine who did it, with what, and where, you'll need to have visited each of the rooms to gather the clues hidden inside. By now, you should know exactly who did the deed, with what they did it, and where they did it. All that remains is to track down the perpetrator, and claim a share of the reward!

When Mr. Boddy's, er, body was found, the following note was also left. (Those murderers, always thinking they're so clever that they can leave behind notes and get away with it!)

I'm hiding, along with Mr. Boddy's loot, just a short distance from the scene of the crime. But to find me, you'll need to know who I am, and what I used! Start at the coordinates of the room the murder took place in, and add or subtract the following number to the minutes of the room's latitude, depending on who you think I, the brilliant killer, am:
Col. Mustard + 0.915
Miss Scarlet - 0.731
Prof. Plum + 1.220
Mr. Green - 2.122
Mrs. White + 0.263
Mrs. Peacock - 1.214
Then, add or subtract the following number to the minutes of the room's longitude, depending on what you think I, the brilliant killer, used to strike down this demon:
The Wrench + 0.910
The Rope + 1.823
The Candlestick - 0.362
The Knife + 0.348
The Revolver - 1.280
The Lead Pipe - 0.824

It's not too late to bring this killer to justice! Gather the evidence, then find the proof and make the killer pay! (By swiping some of the loot, of course!) Original cache contents include lots of goodies for the enterprising detective, including a magnifying glass, fingerprint kit, and lie detector. Of course, some of the items may be stretching the definitions a little.... Good luck!
