DEATH IN A TUTU, asks the question, who killed Mr. Adam Zapple, the respected patriarch of the Zapple family.

Bubba found him in the privy and, at first, he thought Mr. Zapple was just playin’ possum ’cause he had gotten real liquored-up earlier, but it turned out that Mr. Zapple was deader than a door nail, just sprawled on the floor – in a….TUTU right there in the privy!
Bubba ran like a scalded dog to tell mamma and that’s when the pandemonium began!
Even though Mr. Zapple was a husband and leader of the large, Zapple family, he was not exactly a God-fearing, or even a very nice guy. In fact, he really was not very well liked by anyone he knew in Mobile County.

 
 
 
Sister Helen Backe, a first-pew member of The First Self Righteous Church of Pascagoula has been trying to save Adam’s “sorry soul” for years and had a ‘spell’ at the news of his death!
No one was surprised when his family revealed a variety of reasons and motives to murder him. Everyone in this eclectic family seems to have a good reason to ‘knock him off.’
There’s country mayhem and finger-pointing aplenty as this collection of dysfunctional southern-fried eccentrics set out to try to solve the crime while they’re eatin’ high on the hog at his wake as poor Mr. Zapple lies in his coffin awaiting burial.
We’d be much obliged if ya’ll would come ‘set a spell’, enjoy some good viddles with your libation and help us try to guess which one of these folks did the deadly deed!!!
Ya’ll Come on down, now, ya hear?!?!?
