The Rushville Public Library has upcoming events community members won't want to miss. The first event is a Murder Mystery Night designed for thrill-seekers. The story goes on May 8, 1998, the small Indiana town of Riverdale was shocked by the brutal murder of one of its most beloved citizens on the night before her wedding. The victim, Harmony Ashcroft, was murdered in the parking lot behind a restaurant during her wedding rehearsal dinner. Bones McBride, a local vagrant, was framed for the murder and has spent over two decades behind bars despite being 100% innocent.
