~four!
She was pretty nutty at time but she had some words of wisdom to live by, I liked her. I just have to wonder if this is all by design? The video itself says “everything for a reason”. Maybe ~four knew that her death was going to be “the big big day”. Actually come to think of it….
@electrichippo this will sound kinda morbid but did you actually see ~four die? The video cuts off as it appears ~four is very much on her way out but she appeared to be still alive.

Ya I nearly did it during ScareLA but I figured people were going to be busy. Thanks for the support!

First I want to congratulate @prufrock5150, @mariawc, and @nosnevets for completing. Quick walk-through as promised:
1.) The introduction video had GPS coordinates to Donut Friend (the donut pic was there to confirm that yes, you got the GPS right). The morse translated to “look under the newspaper rack”.
2.) I forgot to include this in the introduction video but I hinted on this thread that all clues/puzzles will not be in a business.
3.) There’s a newspaper rack outside of Donut Friend.http://i.imgur.com/TD6hra4.jpg
All you had to do was look under and you’d find a magnetic geocache. This cache had a QR code which leads you to the first puzzle which is mostly Tension trivia.
4.) There’s a rot-13 cipher in the title that translates to “PASADENA”. If you filled in all the trivia, the red letters spell out “under suicide bridge” which was the next location. The numbers was a simple numbers-to-letters “cipher” that translates to “GOOGLE MAP SEARCH ONE TWO SEVEN SOUTH ARROYO BLVD, SEARCH THE CAUTION SIGN INSIDE AND OUT”. So if you did just that you’d see a caution sign in the street view, basically that was my major hint where to look next.
5.) The magnetic cache was inside the caution sign.

Inside the tin was a QR code which lead you to this link which again is more Tension trivia.
6.) Had you solved the trivia you would have immediately found that the letters don’t make a word, it’s a jumble. The jumble is “BEARDED LADY”. In Burbank, there’s a vintage/oddities store called “Bearded Lady”. The rot13 at the very bottom of the jumble said “ODDITIES & RARITIES SIGN, LOOK FOR MAGNETIC TIN. YOU’RE ALMOST DONE WITH THE HUNT!”
7.) The Oddities and Rarities sign is outside the shop, behind the sign and at the bottom was the last tin. *Yes, I got Kiki’s permission to plant the cache*

8.) The QR code lead you to this link.
9.) It’s a substitution cipher or a cryptogram, my personal favorite. If solved you would know to meet me at Villains Tavern on 7.20.16 between 5:30-8:00pm to receive your prize.
10.) The prize was a bag of personalized candy that I purchased not long ago, they say GLORY BE. (some of them were supposed to have the BOS logo but there was a communication fail between me and the candy shop, oops)
