Fire Marshal Wilbur Ricker had the gas cans in his barn for 9 years when he brought them to his deposition on Jan. 8, 1990 and to US Federal Court on May 11, 1990 as exhibits during my lawsuit. They were left at the courthouse. I got a letter from the court asking me to pick them up. I had them for 12 years. A new detective (Gerald Coleman)  was assigned Mike's case asked for them. The gas cans have Mike's name, date of death and homicide written on the tags.
