Mystery Weekend 2024 Solution
Greetings. As most of you know I am Texas Ranger, Ranger Chase Ketchum. Long ago I developed a relationship with the Langley Police Department as a consultant and I want to thank them for their assistance with this confusing mystery.
When I arrived Friday morning they gave me the car’s registration and informed me that the owner, Claire Voyant, was missing. We quickly discovered that the car had been sold to Del Orien and Ed Sill but where was Claire? My interviews with those who knew her were disturbing. She had, for some days, been feeling an approaching darkness, an impending doom. I wondered if her premonitions had brought her harm. Fortunately, I was able to locate her at her sister’s home in Roslyn. We spoke and she told me the darkness, dread and anxiety had overcome her Thursday night and she fled town. Her credit card receipts confirm her story.
I found myself faced with 24 possible suspects and so started by eliminating those with solid alibis.
Ray and Electra Lux. The victim’s parents. It didn’t take me long to understand why Cy had broken off contact with them and changed his name. Keeping an open mind is crucial to detective work but two minutes into my interview with Ray I wanted to punch that smug, greedy, self-aggrandizing little narcissist in the face and jail him just as a public service.
Unfortunately security cameras at SeaTac confirm that Ray and Electra were both there at 8 a.m. Their limo was blocking several of the departure lanes while the poor driver unloaded and checked four large pieces of luggage. Meanwhile Ray and Electra were carrying on some sort of argument. Security couldn’t get them to move. Traffic backed up. It was a mess. They seem to create bad feelings wherever they go but the bottom line is they weren’t in Langley when their son died.
Blackie Beardsley and Tap Hopper were brought into town by the Luxes very recently and had no history with Cy before arriving, so they seemed unlikely suspects.
At least they did until I found out that Tap suffers from Metamfiezomaiophobia (Met-zam-feez-o-my-o-fobia)- a fear of mimes. Irrational fears do sometimes cause people to kill, however when Cy was around Tap just turned into a pile of quivering jelly – completely unable to function.
Blackie was quite a help to me. His background in robotics helped me …

Breaking News from the Mysterious Langley Gazette
The Langley Gazette will be presenting teasers for the next four months for the 2023 Mystery Weekend
to be held February 25-26, 2023. Here are the first three:
Rocketeers Rejoice
The South Whidbey High School Rocketeer Club Mentor Tara Tesla is
proud to announce that they have been chosen to work with Texas Animal
and Rocketry University Orbital Guidance Center here in Langley once
again.
“This is very exciting for our Club,” Tera told the Gazette, “With one
of our top graduates now at Texas A&R our members are anxious to help
on the orbit corrections again.” The next launch is scheduled for 24
February 2023 and will again involve the delivery of live animals to a
location overseas. The animals to be launched will be a dozen miniature
Longhorn Cattle-Sheep hybrids genetically modified to survive in very cold
climates.
“We are proud to be a part of the Cosmocattle Program,” Tera
beamed.
Famous Professor Has Langley Roots
Professor Sally Mustang, Langley High School Class of 2001, heads
the Bio-Miniaturization Department at Texas Animal and Rocketry
University. She is also co-chair of the University’s cutting edge ‘Orbital
Animal Delivery Project’ in cooperation with the Texas A&R Rocketry
Department. According to the OAD Project Director, Doctor Arian Falcon,
“There would be no OAD Project without Professor Mustang. She is quite
quiet and unassuming at staff meetings but a brilliant dynamo in her
laboratory. Our delivery by rocket of her miniaturized hybrid Longhorn
cattle, or Cosmocattle, last year gave humanitarian meaning to our
Project.”
Werner von Tanner, Langley High School Class of 2021, oversees the
Rocketry Department’s work for the OAD Project because of the
revolutionary delivery system he developed whilst in the Rocketeer Club at
LHS and this has motivated Doctor Falcon to visit Langley in February,
2023. Doctor Falcon told the Gazette, “I am quite anxious to visit Langley
and see the City that gave me both Professor Mustang and my eager
young protégé Werner von Tanner.”
Local Hostels Hostile to Volatile Visitors
Langley Innkeepers are nervous about renting rooms to representatives of The United Islands of the Kithless Archipelago. Known as the “Pirate scourge of the South Indian Ocean,” the UIKA will be sending
a delegation to Langley in February to make their case that the next shipment of ‘Cosmocattle’ …
