More than 13
years after the March 16, 1988, murders
of Thompson and his second wife, Trudy,
an arrest was made. Michael Goodwin,
a former business partner (and the prime
suspect of Thompsonıs family), is charged
with double homicide and conspiracy
to commit murder, plus three special
circumstances: murder for hire; lying
in wait; murder for financial gain.
As HRN5 goes to press, Goodwin is being
held without bail, awaiting an April
7, 2003, trial date. Updates are posted
on www.hotrodnostalgia.com as they become
available. -Ed.
