Oh no! Mr. Boddy has been murdered! Can you help figure out 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. Once you've gathered all the clues 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!


The following note was intentionally left behind by the perpetrator:


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:

Colonel Mustard
 - 0.074
Miss Scarlet
 + 0.055
Professor Plum
 - 0.133
Mr. Green
 + 0.152
Mrs. White
 - 0.047
Mrs. Peacock
 + 0.079
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
  - 0.731
The Rope
  + 1.021
The Candlestick
  - 0.632
The Knife
  + 0.638
The Revolver
  - 0.820
The Lead Pipe
  + 0.321

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 swag, of course!) Good luck!
