COFFELT worked on a commission basis and on occasion he would leave from work without notice and return some months later saying he had taken a medical course somewhere in the Midwest. She said [REDACTED] hired COFFELT back because he was a smooth talker and a good salesman. She, however, considered him a phony because she never believed he was taking medical courses. She was unaware of any of COFFELT's private life, his associates or hobbies.
She did recall, however, that at one time COFFELT showed up at the furniture store driving a Cadillac limousine. He was in the company of an elderly man.

She was unable to recall any additional information about the incident.
