How come
How come the whole "turns out the Corvette was owned by a deadman" rumor never gained traction on the boards?
Can you deep dive into that one too?
I ain't touching it.
Well, I touched it. It seems Willie was a victim of his own algorithm.
"The rumor that the Chevrolet Corvette A.J. Ferrari was driving belonged to a deceased individual is a misunderstanding driven by incomplete information in the initial police radio transmissions.
When social media users analyzed the scanner traffic from the night of the chase, they heard dispatchers running the vehicle's registration tags through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. The system flagged the car's registration with a hit, prompting listeners to jump to wild conclusions about a "dead man's car" or a stolen vehicle.
However, official updates and the police report clarify the reality behind the registration:The Extradition Warrant: The database hit on the Corvette's registration did not trigger because the owner was deceased, but because the primary operator—A.J. Ferrari himself—had a history of active out-of-state warrants. In fact, earlier in the year, he had been pulled over in Nebraska on an extradition warrant out of Texas for a previous vehicle evasion incident.
Positive Identification: The Nebraska State Patrol confirmed that once Ferrari abandoned the Corvette in a ditch and ran into the brush, troopers searched the interior. Inside, they found his personal physical identification and documentation directly tying him to the vehicle.
Because Ferrari was not charged with grand theft auto or driving a stolen vehicle—only flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, and obstructing a peace officer—the state patrol treated the vehicle as legally occupied by him at the time of the chase."
Makes sense to me. I think I understand the rumors from the facts now
