For those who could not attend the reveal, here is a much condensed version:
Claude orchestrated a plan with Jane. Jane was the 'potential enrollment' to a school in Milwaukee who Sister Agatha told us about; she wanted to intercept a potential communication from the school before anyone saw it. Before the Snyders even arrived at the party, Claude stole the letter while nobody was looking leaving the rest of the mail in a stack. Then, Jane snuck the ring from Agwadaashi's bag during the excitement of the arm-wrestling. This left both with what they most desired—and a perfect alibi.
Thanks to all who came out and helped us figure out Who-Dun-It!

When the citizens of Point Basse gathered for an evening of food, fellowship, and celebration, they didn’t realize someone would seize more than the opportunity for neighborly gossip. With honored guests and returning family in attendance and the village's future looking brighter than ever, what could possibly go wrong? The celebration proved short-lived. By night's end, two troubling discoveries loomed over the festivities. A silver ring of great significance has vanished without a trace. Worse still, one of Postmaster Robert Wakely's mail bags—said to contain important correspondence arriving from Milwaukee—has disappeared from under everyone's noses. For once, the prime suspect couldn’t be more obvious. The only problem is an ironclad alibi witnessed by half the town. As accusations fly and old grievances resurface, join the citizens of Point Basse as they try to unravel two thefts too many. Perhaps you will be the one to help them figure out Who-Dun-It!

Come play detective and unravel the story during Point Basse's anual interactive mystery theatre event.

Well a golf cart with 3 adults and a kid in a go cart were ratting around our site digging up the lawn. They had to have come in on the walking trail and drove across the wooden bridge waiting for the sheriff to file a report
Good camera views of them
