Slaying at the Slumber Party Murder Mystery Introduction To The Theme
Leah Donnelly was celebrating her birthday with a slumber party! She could not wait, and she invited all of her friends to join her. Leah ordered pizza and planned to watch a movie, play truth or dare, and have a pillow fight. She wanted it to be a night to remember and it certainly was… although not in the way she was expecting.
Caterina Simpson was poisoned and she died just before the movie started. The police were called and they were unable to determine exactly when she was poisoned. It was within an hour of her death, so it could have been minutes or moments before she dropped dead in the living room. However, they did determine that it could only have been one of the ten other guests at the slumber party. Found next to Caterina’s body was an envelope full of cash, a paystub, and an old math assignment that was crumpled up into a ball.
Caterina was a well-liked student and athlete. She had many friends and few enemies, or so everyone thought. Someone clearly had something against Caterina, so much so that they killed her. She was a lively girl with a bright future, and that future was taken from her in a brutal fashion.
It is now time for you to figure out who had the motive, means, and opportunity to murder Caterina Simpson. It could be any of you and all of you are suspects in the case. No one knows who did it, not even the killer themself. Good luck proving your innocence… if you even are innocent.
