Geocache Description:

Find Miss Scarlett's cache and collect evidence in the case of Dr Black's murder. Use your detective skills to discover the killer, the murder weapon and the crime scene and then locate the missing body (GC2NN3T) to bring the culprit to justice. This cache will test your ability to follow a suspect's trail.

There's foul play on the Herts-Beds border and you have been called in to investigate the suspected murder of Dr Black, owner of Tudor Mansion. It's only suspected because we cannot find the body! Dr Black invited six guests for the weekend and some time very early on Sunday morning the host disappeared. His guests all fled the house; each with a guilty conscience ... but only one was responsible for Dr Black's disappearance.

You are Inspector Cluedo and your challenge is to solve the crime and find the body. Each of the suspects has hidden their potentially incriminating evidence in a cache on familiar ground where they feel safe. Visit each cache and inspect the evidence you find. There will be three cards in each to enable you to eliminate suspects, weapons or locations from your enquiries. When you have the solution visit Inspector Cluedo: Dr Black for the final stage instructions. Good Luck, Inspector, because each cache will test a different detection skill.


     
  Henlow village is home not only to the famous health spa but also to a church dating to the 11th century and an interesting, canopied village pump. To the north of the village is Henlow Bridge Lakes where the footpaths link into the Kingfisher Way long distance path.  
     

Miss Scarlett is a star of stage and screen; or so she would have everyone believe. She lives the lifestyle, but has only ever had bit parts in 'The Bill' and 'Casualty' on television. The excesses of her aspirations often take their toll and Miss Scarlett needs to 'recover'. Henlow Grange entertains her for several weeks at a time and it is believed that the evidence cache is nearby.

The coordinates at the top of the page give the last known location of Miss Scarlett after she fled Tudor Mansion. From here you have only a series of photographs taken by a confidential informant. Park up at this location and use these landmarks to trace Miss Scarlett's steps to the cache (the final photograph). All of the pictured scenes can be seen, if not reached, from the trail.

You will not need to leave the public streets or public and permissive footpaths in order to find the cache. When retrieving the container please be very careful!

The cache is a plastic 0.33L lock & lock box holding a personal item belonging to Miss Scarlett, three cards to advance your enquiries and an access code on the logbook to use the Inspector Cluedo Suggestion Site. Please leave all evidence in the cache for the next detective and hide the cache exactly as you found it.
