Also, on August 1, 1975, Andrew R. Craddock left his blue Ford truck on a parking lot near a tavern in Nashville. When Graddock left the tavern to go home, his truck was missing. In the early morning hours of August 2, 1975, the Appellant and his wife appeared at the home of Jerry Arnold, the Appellants son. They were driving the Ford and Chevrolet vehicles.
