“I sat in awe as (Tierney and Laughlin) called
the FBI to tell them that they had located the
guy,” says Vilbig. “They cracked the case.”
Routinely, when Tierney was fishing for news,
she opened a call with a source by saying,
“What’s the dirt today?” according to Vilbig.
“She was aggressive, but she was always just
as nice as she could be,” says Vilbig.
Sunrise Volkswagen of Fort Pierce is not the
first VW dealer to locate in St. Lucie County.
Coincidentally, the Miami Herald’s bureau in
Fort Pierce was located on the former site of
Fort Pierce Volkswagen, on Okeechobee Road,
owned in the 1960s by none other than Jimmy
Sneed.
Jeff Sneed says he remembers his father wishing
he had kept the dealership once gasoline
prices about doubled during the 1973 OPEC oil
embargo, and the only gas-sipping small car
Ford had was the much-maligned Pinto.
In the late 1980s, Tierney and Sneed had a
baby girl. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that
Tierney Sneed is now a hard-charging reporter
covering the White House for the Talking Points
Memo website. In her thumbnail biography on
Twitter, Tierney Sneed states, “Florida woman at
heart. Tell me your secrets.” v
