Story:

Candi Stores killed Ginger Snap for money, as evidenced by her note saying “I needed Money”. This note was written after she killed Ginger Snap, in her haste to escape to her friend. An eyewitness revealed the note also depicted where she escaped to, and told her friend where to find her, although the rest of the note could not be found. The murder happened after Candi Stores finished a show, dressed in a bunny costume. She then waited around the bar for her once friend Ginger Snap to get off of work, so she could try to convince her to give her the key to her safe. As she waited she drank her signature blue drink, and left her lipstick on the glass, showing that it was her that was the last one in the bar, besides Ginger Snap. When Ginger Snap went to close the bar she quickly wrote a note, hoping that someone would see it the next day at work, asking for help, as Candi made her motives known. Ginger didn’t realize that it would be her last day. As Ginger tried to sneak out the door, Candi confronted her. Ginger refused to hand over any money, and tried to run to her car. There they began to fight, Candi ripped some of her shirt, and Ginger ripped of Candi’s precious gold necklace (it was her Grandmas). This caused Candi to become infuriated, and she quickly pulled a knife from her bag and cut Gingers throat. Then she quickly wrote the note to her friend, and fled the scene. She has yet to be found.
