Who deflated Big Ben? An investigation of the Bulls’ Snapchat murder mystery

If you follow the Bulls’ official Snapchat account, you saw something unusual on Monday. Most pro sports teams’ social media accounts stick to the basics: behind-the-scenes warmup shots and updates on which shoes players are wearing — not full-blown murder mysteries involving mascots.

The basics: Benny the Bull and his inflatable sidekick Big Ben go to a dinner party that also features several Luvabulls and one of the Swingin’ Seniors as guests (but unfortunately, not Dashing Donut, Cuppy Coffee or Biggie Bagel). Somewhere along the line, the lights were cut, and somebody deflated Big Ben. The mystery has yet to be solved on Snapchat, so let’s run through the suspects.
