Christmas Party Gone Wrong: Plymouth’s Santa Strangling Case

Christmas Party Gone Wrong: Plymouth’s Santa Strangling Case

by | Dec 4, 2024

On a chilly December evening, the quaint town of Plymouth, Michigan, becomes the stage for a thrilling holiday mystery. The Plymouth Historical Museum, located at 155 S. Main Street, is not just any museum. It’s a place where history comes alive, and on Saturday, December 7, 2024, it will transform into a puzzling crime scene. This event promises an evening of suspense, laughter, and perhaps some detective work.

A Not-So-Jolly Old Saint Nick

The story begins with the town’s long-time mayor, Ed Hanson. Known for his jolly demeanor and love for community events, Mayor Hanson decides to make his final public appearance of the year dressed as Santa Claus. The occasion? Eva Alpha’s annual Christmas party—a festive gathering that brings together the who’s who of Plymouth.

But this year, the holiday cheer takes a dark turn. As the party unfolds amidst twinkling lights and merry jingles, Mayor Hanson is found strangled with a length of Christmas lights. The jolly old Saint Nick is no more, and his demise sets off a chain of suspicion and intrigue.

A List of Suspects

In true murder mystery fashion, everyone at the party becomes a suspect. With the January mayoral election looming, it’s no secret that Mayor Hanson had his fair share of political adversaries. The guest list reads like a who’s who of potential motives—rival politicians, disgruntled citizens, and even some former allies who might have turned foes.

The tension in the room is palpable as guests eye each other suspiciously over slices of pizza and cookies. Who could have committed such a dastardly deed? Was it someone seeking revenge? Or perhaps an opportunist looking to shake up the political landscape?

For those attending this unique event, it’s more than just a party—it’s an opportunity to channel your inner detective. Participants are invited to gather clues and interrogate suspects to solve the mystery before the night ends.

The evening promises suspense and plenty of laughs as guests navigate red herrings and unexpected twists. It’s an interactive experience that combines theater with a classic whodunit format. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator or just looking for holiday fun, this event offers something for everyone.
