structure. in the minutes after the attack, this red suzuki pulls up to the garage exit, the wrong exit. a man holding what seems to be a black hooded sweatshirt gets out of the back seat to check the exit gate before jumping back in. we ran the vehicle license check and found that one of the vehicles leaving the garage was associated with mr. fayed and goldfinger. mr. fayed s business. yes. detectives traced that red suzuki suv to an avis rental car the car was leased by goldfinger. jim fayed s company. one of jim s nephews had recently relocated to california and had driven the car for about a month until just a few days before the murder. after that, the car was in the care of the fayeds ranch hand, a man named josé moya. investigators say it was moya who was behind the wheel, but on the tape there seemed to be three people in the vehicle. who were they? a month later josé moya was arrested and
