This is a photograph of Emogene Thompson’s automobile in the driveway of the Gwinnco Muffler Shop on the morning of April 16, 1993. When found, the victim was slumped over to the right in the driver’s seat. The vehicle was found with all four of its self-locking doors locked and only the driver’s window partially opened instead of fully opened as shown in the photograph.

The first police officer on the scene taped off the automobile, using traffic cones and other devices borrowed from the muffler shop. That officer though, taped off the car to only 1 or 2 feet surrounding the vehicle even though he could see the gunshot wounds and could not at the time determine whether the gun used was a revolver or an automatic or even some type of rifle.
