A cutout of Mickey Thompson and Trudy Thompson is in front of the words Homicide: Los Angeles.
Summary Homicide: Los Angeles episode 2, "The Racecar Killer" outlines one of the most perplexing homicides on the show, that of the 1988 death of Mickey and Trudy Thompson. In 1960, Mickey Thompson became internationally known as the first American to drive faster than 400 miles per hour. In the next decade, the racer went on to win many championships. He and his wife Trudy eventually settled in Bradbury, California, around 24 miles from downtown Los Angeles.
Mickey Thompson & His Wife Were Killed In 1988 But The Case Was Unsolved Until 2007 Mickey And Trudy Thompson Were Killed Outside Their California Home On March 16, 1988, racecar icon Mickey Thompson and his wife Trudy Thompson were shot in their driveway. When the police found them, Trudy had $70,000 worth of jewelry, and the pair carried $4000 in cash, eliminating the possibility of robbery gone wrong.
According to Homicide: Los Angeles, police didn't discover there was another witness until the case aired on the true crime showAmerica's Most Wanted in 2001. At this point, they learned that the couple saw two men in a car watching the Thompsons' house with binoculars four days before the murder. The person in the driver's seat perfectly matched the description of Michael Goodwin, Mickey Thompson's former business partner who had a grudge against him.
