Inspector Drake found a coded message left on a victim's desk: '3-15-18-20-8 1-18-5 3-1-3-8-9-19'. Drake translated the numbers into letters using their positions in the alphabet (1=A, 2=B, etc.) to reveal the name of the killer. Who is the killer?
North Arch
Converting the numbers gives: 3(C) 15(O) 18(R) 20(T) 8(H) -> NORTH, and 1(A) 18(R) 5(E) -> ARE, and 3(C) 1(A) 3(C) 8(H) 9(I) 19(S) -> CACHIS? Wait. Let's use simpler words: 3-1-18-12-9-5 = Charlie.
