Not long after Timmy King was abducted, a witness came forward with some vital information. She claimed to have seen Timmy talking to a man outside the Hunter-Maple Pharmacy in Birmingham, Michigan. She said Timmy and the man were about two car-lengths away from her. The witness also described the vehicle she believed the man to be driving; a dark-blue AMC Gremlin with a white stripe on its side. The Gremlin became an obsession as police began stopping and searching each one they saw on the road.
