Sticky Note Killer Clue #1 - Kiri McCoy

I knew that whoever the killer was wanted this evil scavenger hunt to happen otherwise he or she would not have put the note there for someone to find. I started analyzing the clue to see if I could figure out if it was a place on campus.

First I started with the "two tree homes" which makes me think actual trees, but campus is covered with them and trails so that seems so useless right now. Then I thought about the part that talks about "place of unification" because that could be taken multiple ways. Unification means to bring together several things so it could mean marriage therefore the chapel, or a gathering of sorts, but that is all over campus mostly.

I thought about the note for days and days, but I could not ask for help or someone might tell the police of my little hunt. The riddle made sense but no sense at all at the same time and it frustrated me so much. It kept me from my studies and I lost my focus on everything besides that stupid little note.

Until one day when I dropped the note and a stranger picked it up to give it to me. He had just enough time to read it before I snatched it away from him. He looked at me funnily and I just started walking away. He chased after me and asked why I acted so oddly. I could not just tell him everything, but he noticed my concern on the topic. He then looked at me and said I bet that leads to the trail between Laurel, Oak and the Student Union, and just walked away without another word.

I found it odd that he knew the riddle so quickly, but it shook me that I may or may not have found where the riddle leads. I started running from Biddle Hall to that particular trail. Once I got there I just stood at the top nearest to Oak. I searched the trail up and down and even off a little from the trail, but found nothing.

I got so frustrated that I just lumped onto one of the stones and sat there for a few minutes. Surprisingly (not really) it started to rain, thank you Johnstown for the crappy weather whenever I feel horrible. I stared up into the sky and a yellow paper caught my eye in one of the holes in the one tree. I ran to the tree and figured it was about six feet high from the ground. I jumped to grab it and successfully at that. I then ran back to my dorm to read the note.
