Sam Worsham with the Sandy Springs Police Department said that detectives believe that Thomasson’s killer stole the car from the scene. He did not say if the car was damaged or if anything was left inside.
“Detectives are still working on the case and following up on leads,” Worsham said.
Sandy Springs police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward.
Detectives are still unsure of a motive.
According to online property records, Thomasson had been living in the home since 1975. A neighbor told Channel 2 Action News that Thomasson lived alone.
This is the second homicide in Sandy Springs this year and the fourth since 2016.
