Appellant Darrell C. Edmond was convicted of felony murder in connection with the death of Cynthia Wiggins and theft by taking the victim’s car. The trial court denied Edmond’s motion for new trial1 and he appeals. 1. The evidence authorized the jury to find that the victim left home in her white 2001 Buick Park Avenue on the afternoon of April 2, 2002, telling her husband that she would be back shortly. She met Darrell Edmond, with whom she had had a relationship for several years, at the Royal Inn motel in Floyd County. She did not return home.

Edmond picked up Kim Stevens in DeKalb County in the early morning hours of April 4; he was driving a white 2001 Park Avenue. The two rode around for several hours while Edmond made numerous attempts to withdraw money using an ATM card that he did not have the PIN code for, and then went to Stevens’s apartment. At some point thereafter, Stevens went out to the car and saw a female body wearing Tommy Hilfiger clothing inside a laundry basket in the trunk. She retrieved the contents of the glove compartment, which included the victim’s driver’s license and ATM card, ran back inside, and had her son tell Edmond to leave. Stevens called the police to report what she had seen; DeKalb County authorities determined that the vehicle Edmond was driving was registered to the victim, and contacted Floyd County police.
