    Talk about sticking with something. Bet this pops on a Cold Case File TV show one of these days. With all the neat stuff about Micket Thompson over all the years, it would make a full feature film.

    MICKEY THOMPSON’S KILLER GETS TWO LIFE TERMS
    Convicted murderer Michael Goodwin maintains his innocence.

    A judge sentenced Michael Goodwin, convicted of murdering Mickey and Trudy Thompson, to two consecutive life terms on March 1st, according to an Associated Press report. A jury convicted Goodwin January 4 of two counts of murder.

    Goodwin called the Thompsons’ 1988 murders a tragedy, but continued to insist his innocence. He was found guilty of hiring two hit men, who have never been caught, to kill the Thompsons in what is considered revenge for a business partnership that went sour.

    “I have condolences for [Mickey Thompson’s sister Collene] Ms. Campbell,” the 61-year-old Goodwin said. “But I can’t apologize because I’m not guilty.”

    Collene Campbell has led a nearly 19-year legal battle to get a conviction for her brother and sister-in-law’s murder. Prosecutors said the case will remain open until the two gunmen are caught.

    That was a shame for Mickey and his wife. This guy must have been a real piece of work to hire a hitman to kill them over a business deal.

    Time for an Olds hi-jack

    Dave,
    Riding in our IH Eagle roll-back tilt-bed tonight I was able to see better into a salvage yard alongside I-80. In the yard sits a '69 Olds 2dr Sedan I couldn't see from my truck. Going to check it out next weekend and will let you know what I find. It is sitting not too far from where you had your accident.
