Geocache Description:

BRING YOUR OWN PEN OR PENCIL

Professor Builtwell who developed the Atomic Cake Mixer and the Mechanical Separator for Chicken along with many other great marvels of our time has been murdered in his Builtwell Estate. However, your new assistant has some breaking news! The Professor was NOT killed at Builtwell Estates. He was killed somewhere else but his body was moved here in hopes it would look like an accident.

Your job is to uncover the clues at various locations to solve the Great Professor Builtwell Murder Mystery. This will be no easy task and you will have to visit the sites of all the clues. Investigate the areas and discover the three main things to bring the suspect to justice! You will need to solve Who, Where and What Weapon? Once you know the right information you can find the actual location of the suspect (Bonus Cache) and apprehend them.

It will not be an easy task. You will have to decode the clue listed below to get the exact location AFTER you have solved the mystery. The letter found will help you pinpoint the exact location. You can decrypt the letter before you solve the mystery but it will not help you. You will have to solve the mystery.

You will need to visit all the cache sites in order to know who did what and where. This will eliminate some as they have motives and others will remain guilty right to the end. Good Luck Detective!

Mrs. Willander - A socialite known for her bad cooking

technology for this area.

by Professor Builtwell.

Professor's Gardener.
Passa D' Salt - A guru of programming languages and a real
mean cat juggler. Passa was in a dispute with the Professor
over software rights.

The Murder Weapons

A Plant Stem - Used just right, it can be driven through the ear
of even the largest man.
Wet Noodle - Used in bulk to choke a victim.
A Razor Sharp Envelope - And you thought paper cuts were bad!

penetrate a steel wall.

One other thing. The clues will be hidden at the coords listed at the locations. Each of these locations can be logged as a cache. They all contain logs. Please let me know in the log how these looked. Do they need to be replaced? Can you read them OK? Etc...

The bonus cache can be logged as well. This gives you 6 caches to solve the mystery. The original cache contents are well worth seeking. Don't worry about swapping items. Just take one thing. I will keep it stocked as it gets found. There is a special prize for the first finder. You will have to seek it and claim it to find out what it is. Remember, detectives don't solve cases in just a few minutes, sometimes it takes days so be patient!

Clues are for each site. MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE THINGS EXACTLY LIKE THEY WERE!
EACH CACHE WILL NEED TO BE COVERED WELL DUE TO THEIR PUBLIC LOCATIONS.

Here are the suspects, weapons and locations to find the murderer. Good Luck!! PS: If using Watcher or a PDA without pictures, you can still solve this. I have put the titles under the pictures for you.

If it was "suspect" you would use that as the final coordinates. It's the same with the weapon and location. Remember to decrypt the cryptogram above!

If Bubba then N38 48.xxx	If Frank Lee then N38 43.xxx	If Ms. Willander then N38 40.xxx	If Major Pringle then N38 42.xxx	If Passa D' Salt then N38 41.xxx
If the Razor Envelope W90 50.xxx	If the Ninja Biscuits W90 45.xxx	If the Stem W90 40.xxx	If the Wet Noodle W90 43.xxx	If the Thumbtacks W90 44.xxx
If Wildlife Sanctuary N38 xx.008 W90 xx.283	If Baseball Field N38 xx.958 W90 xx.896	If O'Fallon Train N38 xx.063 W90 xx.986	If the Soccer Park N38 xx.304 W90 xx.307	If the Lakes N38 xx.415 W90 xx.152

If I solved the murder, I would find the cache by combining the suspect with the weapon and the location. This would give me the final coordinates.. Well, not exactly. It will get me close but I would still have to solve the cryptogram to get the actual location.
