Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the "To Cache A Murderer" Series, Ballenger Creek Trail edition, and centers around one of the suspects in the case. The full "whodunit?" is written up in this final cache.

Patrick Russell Mann survived the rough inner city streets through sharp wit and good head on his shoulders, traits he applies to puzzle caches with great success. He now owns several multi-million dollar tech startups, but his friends still call him P 'Ussell. The only nearby caches that he couldn't solve belonged to the victim, Peyton Cash. Peyton was known for occasionally making super-hard puzzles that hardly anyone could solve--a terrible, terrible crime in the caching world. Enough to kill over? That remains to be seen.

Investigating the scene, you show his picture to neighbors, joggers, and anyone else in the area. Finally, someone responds, "Yes! I saw him..."

To complete the sentence and get part of the final coordinates*, find this cache and match the cache's color to the choices below.

Blue - N .*6* W .*Y* - "...early in the evening, carrying a network cable and wearing Converse kicks."
Green - N .*Y* W .*3* - "...late in the evening, carrying a network cable and wearing Converse kicks."
Brown - N .*5* W .*Y* - "...early in the evening, carrying the shoulder strap from a laptop bag and wearing dress shoes."
Red - N .*Y* W .*4* - "...late in the evening, carrying the shoulder strap from a laptop bag and wearing Converse kicks."
Silver - N .*8* W .*Y* - "...early in the evening, carrying a network cable and wearing dress shoes."
Purple - N .*Y* W .*8* - "...late in the evening, carrying the shoulder strap from a laptop bag and wearing dress shoes."

*--even if he is not the murderer, you will still need the partial "N .*** W .***" from the proper color-coded clue to complete the coordinates for the final puzzle cache

Getting There... The parking coordinates are at the trailhead of a paved suburban trail, great for a leisurely walk or bike ride. The entire series should be less than two miles, round trip.
