Geocache Description:


Park at the shelter as designated by the provided waypoint. Just around the treeline there's a path. Short hike is mostly on the path with the last 30 feet in the brush.

A jewelry heist has just taken place at a precious gem wholesaler's secure storage facility in Johnson County. Authorities are certain that one of the five following suspects is guilty of the theft:  Ms Velma Dinkley, Ms Jane Marple, Mr Frank Drebin, Mr Jacques Clouseau & Mr Maxwell Smart.

This cache is one of five suspect caches.  Inside each of the five caches is a card indicating whether the suspect is innocent or guilty.  The guilty suspect's cache contains the coordinates to the Bejeweled - Diamond cache (finale).

You can feel free to treat this as a stand-alone, traditional cache or seek out the other Bejeweled caches to find the guilty suspect and the coordinates to the final.  You might get lucky right away and start off by finding the guilty person.

There are two ways to determine which suspect is guilty:
1) visit the Bejeweled suspect's caches until you find the guilty person
2) solve the Bejeweled - Diamond puzzle cache (GC2WADQ) to identify the thief and go directly to the guilty suspect's cache

Following is a list of all six Bejeweled caches (5 suspect caches + a finale). Each suspect cache contains a card indicating if the designated person is innocent or guilty:
Bejeweled - Amethyst - GC2WAHZ - Mr Frank Drebin
Bejeweled - Diamond - GC2WADQ (Finale)
Bejeweled - Emerald - GC2WAGN - Ms Velma Dinkley
Bejeweled - Pearl - GC2WAGY - Ms Jane Marple
Bejeweled - Ruby - GC2WAHC - Mr Maxwell Smart
Bejeweled - Sapphire - GC2WAFC - Mr Jacques Clouseau

When visiting a suspect's cache, please write down the suspect's name and whether they're guilty or innocent.  Note that suspect cards will be shuffled between caches occasionally (and maybe frequently).  If the cards happen to be shuffled before you are able to complete the series (i.e. you log all five suspect caches and did not find the guilty card), let me know and I can send you the final coordinates.

As a detective involved in investigating the case, please remain relatively aloof in your logs so the suspect's status remains a secret.
 

Mr Maxwell Smart is NOT GUILTY.
