They caught the hit-&-run porsche driver
http://www.ajc.com/news/cobb/cobb-police-make-arrest-1152403.html
Cobb County police said Wednesday that they've made an arrest in a fatal hit-and-run motorcycle wreck Aug. 20.
Police did not immediately release the names of the suspects, but a check of Cobb County jail records showed only two people were booked into the jail Tuesday night on vehicular homicide charges -- Brandon Michael Weston of Smyrna and Pamela Kay Rice of Marietta. They were arrested within 15 minutes of each other and both were charged with the same crimes: 2nd degree vehicular homicide, hit and run, tampering with evidence and several other charges, according to jail records.
Police say Emanuel R. Mitchell of Norcross, a 31-year-old riding a black 1990 Kawasaki Vulcan motorcycle, died after being struck by two vehicles on I-75 in the southbound lanes near Windy Hill Road.
Mitchell died at the scene.
Sonni Smith, 23, of Atlanta, told police her Mazda 3 struck Mitchell after the driver of a silver Porsche driver made initial contact with his motorcycle. Smith, who will not be charged, said the Porsche driver fled.
Police had been looking for a gray or silver 1986 to 1991 model year Porsche 944.
Investigators were able to zero in on the make of the car from evidence recovered at the accident scene and the assistance of the manufacturer.

Re: They caught the hit-&-run porsche driver
oh, it gets worse
According to an arrest warrant obtained by Channel 2 Action News, Weston owned a 1987 silver Porsche 944 but did not have it registered and had no insurance.
The warrant also says that after the fatal hit and run, he and Rice conspired to have the car taken to a repair shop in Alabaster, Ala., where the damage was repaired. The car was also painted black, and the shop's paperwork was doctored to say the work was done before the hit and run, the warrant stated.

Police had been looking for the Porsche for 10 days.
Pierce said the break in the case occurred when someone became suspicious after seeing the damaged Porsche at the body shop in Alabama.
That person "began to research the Internet," Pierce said. "After locating several news stories through media outlets in the Atlanta area, the individual contacted the Alabaster Police Department. Detectives there ... notified investigators from the Cobb County Police Department?s S.T.E.P. Unit and within a few hours, parts that were recovered from the original interstate crime scene were matched to the damaged Porsche at the body shop," he said.
