## Resource

Before the red suit and the reindeer, Sgt. Christopher Kringle spent three centuries solving murders at the North Pole. Now, for the first time ever, he's breaking his silence on the case that nearly destroyed Christmas. 🦌 THE CASE: On December 22nd, just days before Christmas Eve, Blitzen was found dead in his stable...an antler removed at the base. What looked like an accident quickly became the most explosive investigation in North Pole history. 🔍 THE INVESTIGATION: Rival reindeer with motive. An elf with secrets. A 156-million-toy embezzlement scheme. And evidence hidden in the most unexpected place. 📺 SUBSCRIBE for weekly true crime deep dives: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderUnscriptedPod 🎧 LISTEN on your favorite platform: Apple Podcasts: [LINK] Spotify: [LINK] Website: https://murderunscriptedpod.com 👥 ABOUT MURDER UNSCRIPTED: Join veteran true crime producer Ed Hydock (Forensic Files, Cold Case Files, City Confidential) and true crime super-fan Melissa Spivey as they break down the barrier between true crime fan and true crime creator.
