On March 16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_16), 1988 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988) Mickey Thompson and his wife were killed by two gunmen at their home in Bradbury, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradbury%2C_California) in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Gabriel_Mountains). [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Thompson#_note-0)
Mickey and his pets are interred in the Rose Hills Memorial Park, in Whittier, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittier%2C_California).
An intense police investigation led nowhere until thirteen years after their deaths when former business partner Michael Frank Goodwin (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Frank_Goodwin&action=edit) was charged in Orange County, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_County%2C_California) with the murders. [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Thompson#_note-1) However, that case was overturned on jurisdictional grounds by the California District Court of Appeal. On June 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_8), 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004), Goodwin was formally charged in Pasadena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasadena%2C_California) in Los Angeles County (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County). In October 2006, a Pasadena Superior Court judge ordered Goodwin to stand trial for the murders.
On January 4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_4), 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007) a jury found Michael Goodwin guilty of two counts of murder in the death of Mickey Thompson and his wife. Goodwin was sentenced to two consecutive life-without-parole terms for the murders of Thompson and his wife. The judge also denied Goodwin's motion for a new trial.
The murder investigation was the subject of the April 28, 2007 episode of the CBS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS) television program 48 Hours Mystery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48_Hours_Mystery).
