Georgia (Joey) Gwynn Thompson, 19, Post Falls, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sept. 8, 2005, in Tempe, Ariz.

Born May 12, 1986, in Coeur d'Alene, Georgia lived all her life in the Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls area, until July 2005, when she moved to Tempe.

Georgia was the sixth of nine children. She strove to, and achieved much. As a youngster, she exceeded available materials in her church Awana program. While attending school at Lakeland, in Rathdrum, she participated on the track team and in drama. While at Post Falls High, she maintained honor roll marks and graduated through the Job Corps program in Nampa, Idaho.

Georgia was a member of Post Falls Baptist Church and had worked as a volunteer with the Post Falls Oasis Program. Active and energetic, she had aspirations of attending law school in Arizona.

Georgia is survived by her parents, Rebecca Thompson and William Thompson, both of Post Falls; sisters Angela, Mr. and Mrs. Shawn (Tina) Snyder, and Ilene, all of Post Falls; brothers David and wife Erin, Hayden, Eddie, Post Falls, Freddie, Ocala, Fla., Henry and Johnnie, Post Falls; grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Charles (Ruth) Walter, Atlanta, Texas; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and nephews.

******************************************

While being interviewed by police in Kentucky on a burglary case, James Dewayne Mullins claimed responsibility for the murder of Georgia Thompson on September 8, 2005. Mullins told police he shot Thompson as she attempted to rob him outside the Scottsdale strip club where she worked. However, Thompson's body was found almost 10 miles (16 km) away in Tempe at her apartment complex. Police do not believe she was killed elsewhere.

Mullins changed his story when police definitively linked the homicide to the Baseline Killer. Since then, he has told police that he was not in Arizona. Mullins denies any involvement in Thompson's death. On August 3, 2006, murder charges against Mullins were dropped. Authorities stated that Mullins had caused a significant diversion of resources during the hunt for the genuine killer.(Wikipedia)

On November 30, 2011, a Phoenix AZ jury sentenced MARK GOUDEAU to death on the murder charges relating to the Baseline Killings. He was still on Arizona's Death Row as of 07/31/2013.
