A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM COMMUNITY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2017 IN BRIEF IMAC serves benefit breakfast FILE PHOTO Trish Rossell tries to convince investigators of her innocence during a past murder mystery fundraiser for Agape House. A New Year’s Eve theme is featured during Sunday’s event at Maxwell Siding Event Center in Hermiston. Agape House drops ball during murder mystery mystery, Hughes said, was suggested by Monica Todd of Nookie’s and Max- well Siding. Agape House has worked with the local restaurant and event center during its past couple of murder mystery fundrais- ers. Hughes said it’s been a great partnership that makes putting on the bene- fit events a lot easier. The murder mystery centers around socialites ringing in the new year at a New York City hot spot. Among the party guests are actors, top chefs, singers, powerful CEOs, and other movers and shakers. And for various reasons, Reece Vaughn has rubbed many people the wrong way. A shady character who is known for seedy activ- ities, it’s not a big surprise when Vaughn ends up dead. Blackmail, destroy- ing people’s careers, sab- otaging corporate plans and attempts to become the sole heir to his grand- mother’s fortune are among his vile acts. “Everyone has a motive to do him in,” Hughes said. “He’s pretty much unliked by a lot of people.” Guests at the murder mystery events, Hughes said, seem to enjoy tap- ping into their inner Sher- lock Holmes as they try to figure out who committed the deathly deed. The pop- ular fundraisers, which are held several times a year, typically net about $1,000 for Agape House.
