On the night of the murder, Pat Gimothy was traveling northbound at 9:45 PM on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. She was returning from a business meeting that evening.

As she passed the Gwinnco Muffler Shop, she saw a dark colored car, probably brown, in the driveway. She thought it might be a law enforcement vehicle, she even thought she saw something reflecting and slowed down. She stated that the car was in the back of the driveway near the building with its lights off. She also stated that it was raining at the time.

This statement was taken by Lt. John Latty on April 19^th. The GCPD had settled on Michael Chapel as their prime suspect as early as 17 hours after the body was found, and it was in their interest to have the vehicle in the driveway be a police vehicle. Lt. Latty guided her statement and wrote it down for her.

Ms. Gimothy was not called to testify at the trial of Michael Chapel. Lt. Latty is Colonel Latty.
