Geocache Description:


Murder on the Common- A Geocaching Murder/Mystery Adventure Lab (Bonus) (Link)
 

To solve this mystery and locate the bonus cache, you will first need to complete all five stages of the Adventure Lab. You will need to download and print the Case File from this cache page and use this to record your findings. At each location you will be able to eliminate a number of suspects from your enquiry. When you have completed all five stages, you will be given the coordinates for this bonus cache. You will also need a pen or pencil and have a good data connection.
 

Shortly after the conclusion of a geocaching event on the South Common, a body was found. It was the body of one of the attendees at the event, a local geocacher, known as Dymund361. The event had been organised by Micky_B and a group of geocachers met there at midday. They enjoyed each other’s company for around 40 minutes, chattimng, catching up and swapping trackables. They then set off around the Common looking for geocaches, some of which had been published especialially for that event.
 

The body was found later that afternoon by a local dog walker. Thirty suspects have been identified; one of them is the murderer. You must visit five locations in order, listen to the witness interviews and rule out each of the suspects until you have identified the killer. At each location you will also be asked a question which you must answer before you can proceed to the next one. At the final location you must guess who you believe to be the killer.

Good luck, detective!
