Incorrect image display on post. Shows image from the previous post

CMS & WordPress
1

Hello all. i have three posts. each w/a a set img.
but when i display the page only two of the three images show and it is off by one. so the image for the first post display instead for the second post. The image for the second post shows up for the third post instead.
have not run into this before and the code looks correct.
Has anyone else run into this issue? how do i go about solving this one?

<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
			<p><a href="product-development.php" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary special">Our Technology</a></p>
			<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
					<?php
						$new_query = new WP_Query('category_name=apd-tech' );
							while ( $new_query->have_posts() ) : $new_query->the_post();
					?>
						<ul>
							<li>
								<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
									<?php the_excerpt(); ?>	
									<hr>
							</li>
						</ul>	
					<?php
						endwhile;
					?>
			</div><!-- end class div -->
			
			
			<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
			<p><a href="product-development.php" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary special">Schedule a demo</a></p>
				<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
					<?php
						$new_query = new WP_Query('category_name=demo' );
							while ( $new_query->have_posts() ) : $new_query->the_post();
					?>
						<ul>
							<li>
								<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
									<?php the_excerpt(); ?>	
									<hr>
							</li>
						</ul>	
					<?php
						endwhile;
					?>
					
			</div><!-- end class div -->
			
			
			<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
			<p><a href="product-development.php" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary special">Become a dealer</a></p>
				<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
					<?php
						$new_query = new WP_Query('category_name=dealers' );
							while ( $new_query->have_posts() ) : $new_query->the_post();
					?>
						<ul>
							<li>
								<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
									<?php the_excerpt(); ?>	
									<hr>
							</li>
						</ul>	
					<?php

			</div><!-- end class div -->

Just a shot in the dark - but you have get_the_postthumbnail() before you query the post. How does WordPress know what thumbnail you want? Then after your first wp_Query you have a get_the_postthumbnail() before your second one, but I think it would be referring to the first wp_Query.

Would it work if you put your get_the_postthumbnail()'s right after each

$new_query = new WP_Query('category_name=apd-tech' );
							while ( $new_query->have_posts() ) : $new_query->the_post();

so that it is in the correct loop?
