The Mystery of Sandy Flash

Performed on August 5th, 2005 (Kennett Square First Friday Arts Stroll)

Lydia Fitzpatrick (President of the Daughters of the American Revolution and descendant of Sandy Flash, Kennett Square’s famous highwayman) was found, done to death, outside the Genesis building. Lydia had been struck with a blunt instrument at about 6.30pm and was still clutching a treasure map. Chief McCarthy handed over jurisdiction to Agent Leman of the FBI. Agent Leman could not interrogate all the suspects by himself and appealed to the public for help...So began the murder mystery game.
