Determine the value of each Roman numeral.
Find the corresponding letter of the alphabet and substitute. (ex 1=a, 2=b)
The message should start with “We are the..”
We are the founders of Gold Hook. Our names are Sullivan, Collins, Pike, Carlton, and Hanna.
Use the lighthouse safety sign (“Know the signs this storm season”).
Take each description in the postscript and determine which flag corresponds.
Commas separate flags. Example: Yellow Triangle Red Triangle = O. This will eliminate a suspect.
Owen did not kill DH.
Justin makes note of the confirmation number in the case notes.
Read the first point on the “Thoughts” page.

Locate the knot diagram card and the knot puzzle card.
Look at the symbols at the top of the puzzle card and figure out which suspect they correspond to.
Figure out which knot from the diagram card is the one used to kill all of the victims (this can be found by reading through materials found in the box). Find the one location on the puzzle card where that specific type of knot isn’t found and use that to help eliminate a suspect.
The lighthouse is the only location that doesn’t have a slip knot used anywhere on the property.
Solve the riddle.
If you can’t figure it out, look at which letters in the alphabet aren’t shown.
Those letters can be unscrambled to give you the word. Fill in the blank.
The answer to the riddle is light.
You will notice on the side of this document is the same alphabet as the one with the anchor.
Compare that alphabet (including the riddle answer) to the standard alphabet.
Using the alphabet from the riddle, substitute the corresponding letter into the coded message.This provides the translation for each letter. This is the key to this puzzle. You should have:
We five are keepers of the findMany are we and each hold a keyWithout all we are idleBehind Washington we foughtAnd on the back line we stood
The statement you obtained from the soldier puzzle talks about “Behind Washington we fought…”
Notice that the column of X's and dots total 10. Each column of words on Washington #2 has 10 words.
From the encoded message we are told "And on the back line we stood" so use the line (column) that is furthest back behind Washington on Doc #2. X represents words to eliminate and dots represent words to use. You should get a number and two words.
120 steps north
From Washington #2 we are told 120 Steps North and that leads us to the document with the compass on it.
Omnis means "all" or "every one".
The grid has numbers across the top and down the side and an X in the corner that represents a multiplier. Find all combinations that equal 120 and then use the corresponding words. You should get 6 words.
From rock at light horse landing
A hint for the password you need can be found on the old american flag graphic.
Read the text on the flag carefully and do not over think it.

From the completion of the Washington documents and the Omnis grid we have the statement "120 Steps North from Light Horse Landing".
The document with the riddle and anchor also has a square that gives you assistance with knowing distance on the map.
If you proceed 120 steps North from Light Horse Landing you end up at the place where the original Scions of Independence stashed their gold.

A suspect can be eliminated using the timeline Justin gives during the storm and the hand drawn map in the case notes.
The owner of the place Justin stops at is not the killer since they would not have had time to get dry.
Amos Owen - The solution to the postcard puzzle eliminates Owen.Quinton Garland - The info Benjamin sends you eliminates Garland as a suspect since he was on Gold Hook Island during the times of the murders (proven by the ankle monitor records) and some of the murders happened on the mainland. You know that Garland is the one with the ankle monitor based on context clues in his interview and info in the from Benjamin.Knox Richmond - You find out the killer is using slipknots to kill his victims from the Case Notes page “About the Strangler.” You then examine the knots diagram card to find out what slipknots look like. You then examine the card with ropes, 6 symbols (one for each suspect), and 3 knots under each symbol. The lighthouse is the only place that does not use slipknots. So this eliminates Richmond since he works at the lighthouse. Kara Perkins - Perkins is proven innocent by the file you get from Albert Pikes' computer. Albert Pikes states that Kara was with him at the time of Darby and Madge’s murders.Abigail Conrad - Conrad is eliminated by using the timeline Justin writes out on the notepad and the map. If followed correctly you find that Justin ends up at the Tiki Torch during the storm. Abigail Conrad is stated to be dry so she can’t be the one that killed Sherm Sullivan since the killer would have gotten soaked being out in the storm.
This should only be done once the killer's identity is confirmed and the treasure is found.
You need to use a word from the “Where did the Scions of Independence Hide Their Secret?” unlock and a word from the “Who is The Seaside Strangler?” unlock.
You are looking for two Latin words.
