The New Jersey Bus

Performed on August 8th, 2003 (Kennett Square First Friday Arts Stroll)

Thacker T. Bandersnatch III, the prominent New Jersey industrialist, recently retired as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Contamico Inc., a global conglomerate that specializes in making money. In order to celebrate twenty incredibly profitable years as CEO, Mr Bandersnatch hired a tour bus to take the entire board of directors of Contamico Inc into Pennsylvania to sample the culture, art and culinary delights of the First Friday Arts Stroll in Kennett Square. Tragically, not long after the visit began, Mr Bandersnatch’s lifeless body was found outside the Genesis building. The Kennett Police quickly established that Mr Bandersnatch had been struck just once with a heavy, blunt object that was round in cross-section. They then removed the body. All that is currently visible is the chalk outline on the ground that marks the position where Mr Bandersnatch was discovered by an innocent passerby. So began the game.
 

The body is discovered	The body is examined	The usual suspect
The woman of mystery
