Fire Inspector Wilbur Ricker had the gas can in his barn for 9 years when he brought them to his deposition on Jan. 8, 1990. He brought them to 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 to Mike's case asked for them. He gave me a receipt in 2002 for them when he took possession of them. The gas cans have Mike's name, date of death and homicide on the tags.
