Attention all geocachers! The Surrey Crime Scene Investigation team needs your help in an unsolved case. The following information was gathered from interviews and evidence collected at the crime scene.
On October 18, 2008 a group of geocachers were in the east area of Tynehead Park. They were hunting for a puzzle cache that had baffled them for some time. It was a sunny day but the area was gloomy as there was tree cover. The group found the cache right where their coordinates lead them. As they were getting out the logbook and looking at the swag, one of the cachers stepped away from the group. The cacher had a habit of taking pictures and editing them before he posted them with his logs. A small round object caught his eye. He bent down, picked it up and popped it in his mouth. The group signed the logbook and replaced the cache. That is when they noticed the cacher missing. They called and searched for him until dark. Then the RCMP were called.
SCSI was brought into investigate the scene. They found a white powder where the cacher was last seen standing with a small side trail leading away. Further down the side trail more white powder was discovered along with a red jelly like substance, some brown powder and an icing like material. The was no other evidence found.
That is where the case was until two days ago when the SCSI received a letter containing the following:

TO SCSI,
A list of coordinates
This Poem
Scruffy Stu sat on a wall,
Scruffy Stu had a great fall,
All the geocachers and geocacher's friends
Couldn't put Scruffy Stu back together again.
Catch me if you can!

Today the trace lab discovered that the crime scene evidence was coating and filling from Tim Horton's TIMBITS!
SCSI has received no leads from Geocachers so they are hoping this new set of coordinates will turn up valuable information needed to solve this case. They are also concerned that clues are turning up far away from the orginal crime scene. What does this mean?

Another note was received. Here it is in full:
SCSI,
Re: STU
I've grown tired of the lack of progress in the case. Time is running out. Must I give you every piece of him. Take the faint path, go pass the orange stake, go over then down and around.
Signed T
