Could not get location- format improper. Sassy, could you fix this?
Atlantic Ocean
Lick Hollow Road, Hopwood, Pennsylvania.
Changing the 4th one to the format of the others (69°21'7"N 76°50'38"W) gets a remote island "Brayuv ostrov" in greenland (the u has an accent circumflex, I'm too lazy to look up the alt code).
Obviously, there is a lot of connections to types of trees, my initial reaction is to look at people talking about trees replacing ornithology as the ID event next year in the Ornithology thread.

It has been brought to my attention that the fourth coordinate may be a mistake. I will double check that it is in fact correct.
However, no extra time will be added for you to solve the clue. As always, there is more than one way to solve this kill clue, and that means that it is definitely still possible to solve.

Until further notice, please remove the fourth coordinate from the clue.

considering how they are all trees, i will protect myself, because i commented on the orni page screaming about my undying love for trees. and forestry. if im wrong i think that gneissisnice is also a pretty plausible victim as well.

The fourth coordinate should be closer to 69°21'7"N 76°50'38"W, but either one of them should be near enough to get the right answer.

atlantic ocean: (quoting wikipedia) In 1984, Five Argentines sail in a 10 meters long raft made from tree trunks named Atlantis from Canary Islands and after 52 days 3,000 miles (4,800 km) journey arrived to Venezuela in an attempt to prove travelers from Africa may have crossed the Atlantic before Christopher Columbus. (same coordinates on their path)
cancun:in the native language, cancun means "point of grass". ~tree.

You know what, im going to go for it, Because i want to eliminate him as a suspect, and if i'm right, whoppee!!!!!(though i doubt it...)

I accuse Paleonaps95 because:
1) He has been overtly defensive this round, especially when presented with the thought of being assassinator.
2) HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET CANCUN, MEXICO OUT OF THAT?!
3) The above is referencing the possibility he is trying to trip us up because we are on the right track, and he doesn't have another clue ready yet.
4)He could have easily targeted himself first,making the clue easy enough to figure out.

Also, I protect myself, because like Quizbowl13, I also posted in the Orinthology thread, Saying I was extremely excited for Forestry.

Ill be gone most of the day today for a weekend Japanese workshop, hence why im doing this now.
