The murder mystery was centered around the owner of a publishing company, and everyone was a suspect! The show provided great fun and lots of laughs for the audience as they watched and listened for clues about who committed the murder.
Good Sam had also collected an amazing variety of silent auction items for the murder mystery event.
Before the show, Good Sam’s Executive Director Sara Kenefake talked about the services offered by the nonprofit. In addition, the director thanked all the people who help the organization – all who donate food and funds, volunteers who give their time and the staff for their continued hard work and dedication to the guests of Good Sam.
Kenefake also said that in February, the number of households that received help from Good Sam was 5,363, which is an increase over last year.
Epiroc was the Presenting Sponsor of the murder mystery and Texas Security Bank was the Victim Sponsor. Detective Sponsors were Don Cass, Beau & Patricia Meyer and RDS Door & Window.

About: Good Samaritans of Garland, known locally as “Good Sam”, was formed in 1983 from an alliance of several Garland faith communities with the intent to provide a broad range of services, centrally located for neighbors in need of assistance. In 2016, the Board of Directors elected to narrow Good Sam’s focus to providing supplemental food assistance to our hungry and food-insecure neighbors living in Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse. Today, we are providing nutritious food to anyone needing food with no residency or income eligibility requirements.
Through our partnership with North Texas Food Bank, local retail partners, and donations from the community, we can provide supplemental food assistance to families and individuals.
Our guests receiving food may be a one-time emergency situation, temporary need, or an on-going need as result of disability, injury/illness, job loss, or simply not enough money to cover bills. Providing supplemental food assistance is extremely valuable in helping families and individuals move forward through a difficult time, short or long term.” – Information from Good Sam website.
