Fandango’s Story Starter

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
Several theories about how she’d been murdered had been floated, but the evidence always pointed back to one. “The husband, it’s always the husband…” Joe Jumbles, chief detective, said to his fellow investigator, Paulie.

“Well you really never know, she was not exactly a loved employee. Jazzy Julie was the most liked at the club.”

“Face it Paulie, no guy likes a wife who makes more money than him.”

The two detectives mulled around the room, and carefully picked up the supposed murder weapon in gloved hands—a pair of fishnet stockings. They had been twisted around the victim’s neck causing her to asphyxiate. “She’s not a small woman, it would take some strength to hold her till she stopped breathing. Another reason to suspect him. He’s a wrestler for god’s sake. He probably wouldn’t even need anything but his hands.”

“That may be true, but it’s also a reason not to suspect him, why would he use the stockings? And they leave DNA proving he did it! It all just doesn’t make sense.”

Meanwhile in the Cuddle Cuties dance club, the real perpetrator was furiously applying her make up. Her spot for top dancer was now guaranteed. Julie was stronger than she thought. Luckily she had stockings lying around. The heavy cream concealed a few bruises she received in the act of murdering her rival.
