The mysterious monitoring police car in the driveway of the Gwinnco Muffler Shop leaves the driveway sometime after Dr. Brusie and Cindy Marsella pass the shop from the south at approximately 9:30 PM.

During the missing time period between 9:30 and 9:45 PM, when Pat Gimothy would see the victim’s car alone in the driveway A good estimate would be about 9:40 PM. Ron Flashner reported that he saw two civilian vehicles in the driveway to GCPD Investigator Jack Burnette on the night that the victim’s body was found in the driveway.

Significantly Flashner added that that he saw 3 or 4 people around the cars. Flashner went on to say that the car apparently parked closest to PIB was pointed out (away from the muffler shop?). Since by this observation the vehicles were parked trunk to trunk, this is probably when the dead or possibly only unconscious and dying body of the victim was passed from the trunk of the first vehicle to the trunk of her vehicle.

Ron Flashner made one more important remark to Jack Burnette. He added that there was a cloud of smoke across the highway right in from of the muffler shop driveway. The victim’s son Michael was known to be badly in need of repairs. He had just been ticketed by Sugar Hill Marshall Chris Robertson, because of this. On this night, Michael Thompson’s car would be noted missing by his neighbor across the street, James Craig when that gentleman left for work at about 10:30 PM.

Ms. Gimothy’s sighting at 9:45 PM was confirmed by Sylvia Sellers at about 9:50 and David McGaha who had to have passed the muffler shop just minutes before the blue light activity began at about 9:57 PM as determined by Ronald Gravitt, or about 9:55 PM.
