an intersection. She noticed that the driver was an African-American male who appeared to be in his twenties with short hair. Rannels also noticed that the driver had wide-open "wild eyes." Tr. p. 333, 358-61. She described the vehicle as a two-door Ford Taurus that did a "fast roll-through" the intersection. Appellant's App. p. 2858. She later identified the driver of the vehicle  who she had observed for approximately three seconds  as Allen. It was determined that the location where Rannels said she saw Allen was southwest of Osco and not on a direct route from South Bend to Indianapolis. It was also learned that Ford had never produced a two-door model Taurus.
Upon learning of the Osco murders, Rannells was put in contact with South BendPolice Officer Richard Bishop who met with her on September 12. Officer Bishop showed her a photo array that contained five "mug shot" photos, along with Allen's photograph that originated from Osco's personnel file. All six photographs were of young African-American males. All had mustaches and their faces and hairstyles were not greatly dissimilar. Only one of the photos depicts a portion of a chain that holds the jail booking information. Additionally, two of the subjects  in addition to Allen  were wearing white shirts, although Allen does appear to be wearing some type of "dress" shirt. However, there is no indication from the photograph that suggests Allen was an Osco employee. In the end, Rannells selected Allen's photograph as the man she saw at the intersection
