For 225 years the Von Mumsers have campaigned for D.C. statehood. As Chairman of the Statehood Coalition, Richard pursues this goal with a passion. Besides using congressional lobbyists, he personally solicits the support of state governors. Recently, wherever Richard goes, bodies are left in his wake. And the count is mounting. The bodies are found within hours of Richardas visits, in or near a state capitol building. The CDC joins the hunt when local autopsies cannot isolate what caused the deaths.
