Tracking down the macabre crime scenes scattered across New Hanover and Lemoyne is one of the most chilling side activities in Red Dead Redemption 2. To piece together the pieced-together map that leads to the serial killer Edmund Lowry Jr., players must investigate three distinct locations. Finding the third killer clue requires venturing into the murky wetlands of Lemoyne, where disturbing evidence awaits observant investigators.
Finding the Location of Killer Clue 3
The third crime scene is located south of Rhodes, just outside the Dewberry Creek area in the Scarlett Meadows region of Lemoyne. Players should search near a large, distinctive tree near the road heading toward Braithwaite Manor. As you approach the spot, Arthur's eagle eye ability will highlight blood trails and interest markers to help guide your investigation.
Unlike other encounters that occur in dark alleyways or under railway bridges, this scene is exposed in an open field. The visual contrast between the picturesque southern landscape and the gruesome site makes it easy to spot from a distance once you are in the general area. Paying attention to minimap prompts like the white corpse icon will ensure you do not ride past it.
Investigating the Crime Scene Evidence
Upon arriving at the designated tree, players will find a severed head pinned to the trunk. Interacting with the head allows Arthur Morgan to extract the final piece of the torn map hidden inside its mouth. Gathering this final fragment automatically combines the pieces, revealing a complete map with a secret combination code.
Be sure to inspect the surrounding area for atmospheric details and extra context regarding the killer's habits. Examining the writing painted on the nearby tree gives further insight into the murderer's twisted mind. Completing this step updates Arthur's journal with full details about the ongoing investigation.
Unlocking the Serial Killer's Hideout
Once all three killer clues have been successfully collected, the full map points players toward Lucky's Cabin, situated just south of Valentine. The combined map reveals the exact location of the cellar doors along with the combination code needed to unlock them. Heading to the cellar allows you to confront the serial killer directly and bring his gruesome spree to an end.
Navigating the dark cellar leads to a final cinematic encounter where fast reflexes are required. Successfully apprehending or eliminating the culprit awards a reward from the local sheriff in Valentine. Completing this multi-part mystery provides one of the most memorable narrative side quests available in the game world.
