Could it be Tommy?

I’m Tommy Salubrious, the man behind the scenes of Carlton VanBier’s political ventures. I have been his campaign manager for years, and to be quite frank, I knew every hidden corner of that man’s life. He was squeaky clean!
We had attempted to run for local and state offices, but Carlton really had aspirations for the presidency. We were quite a team. Yet, for some reason, a scandal would always come out right before election day, and we always suffered a loss.
Unfortunately, this reflected poorly on me. Because of it, I’ve had trouble finding national work with other candidates.
While I’m originally from Virginia, I’ve taken quite a liking to this town in Louisiana. I found The Mobile Chateaus quaint and have taken up residence next door to Ms. Sewhage and her charming daughter. I have been watching Britny in the competitions, and wowzah, she is captivating! Her gowns are simply fabulous! That time when she and Atticus Boone did the death drop in unison…breathtaking! I don’t think I have missed one pageant!

Don't tell me it was her?!?!

Greetings, I’m Lilleth Evelyn Botanical, and I was Carlton’s wife.
Let me share something about myself. I met Carlton a few years ago while vacationing in Mexico. He had heard of me, as we were both philanthropists for multiple charities and foundations. You see, when I met Carlton, I was independently wealthy, so we had our lifestyles in common. We connected immediately, and within a week, we were united in holy matrimony.
I settled nicely here in Louisiana at the Estates after we were married. I oversee the grounds and landscaping. As a side note, most of your houses are up to code. Well, except for yours, Beau. We have let your house slide.

Could she be the one who did it?

I don’t think I necessarily need an introduction, because, quite frankly, I’m hard to miss. I’m Darlene Felicia Sewhage (pronounced Sue-azh), and I’m the “steel magnolia” of this community – full of beauty, charm, and elegance, all of which precede me wherever I go. I passed these traits on to my three-time, county-winning pageant queen daughter, Britny Barbara Sewhage.
I’m the head of an exclusive neighborhood, The Mobile Chateaus. It’s an upscale neighborhood that continues to be on the up-and-up! But I know some of you elite folks can’t accept that our neighborhood is full of charm and colorful people. Professor Rype Tumahtoo and I have worked together to try and ease the tensions between our communities. But I know that he, and some of you, resent us being here.
Now, Beau Buford over there is my ex-husband and the father of our sunflower, Britny Barbara. I’m Britny Barbara’s full-time coach and assist her in preparations for her beauty pageants. I have taught her everything I know about beauty and grace. It must be working because she continues to win the county pageants! I only wish she had won the VanBier sponsored regional pageant instead of being runner up. She isn’t getting any younger, and that would have been her ticket to be Miss America on day.
