The rampage was the subject of the 1970s movie “Badlands.” It all started Dec. 1, 1957, in Lincoln when Starkweather shot and killed service station atten dant Robert Colvert, 21, during a robbery. Then, in an eight-day period beginning Jan. 21, 1958, Stark weather, accompanied by his girlfriend, 14, Caril Ann Fugate of Lincoln, left a bloody trail of nine victims in Nebraska and one in Wyoming. They included Fugate’s mother, stepfather and stepsister. Starkweather and Fugate each were convicted of first- degree murder in the death of Bobby Jensen, 17, of Bennet. Starkweather died in Nebraska’s electric chair in June 1959, the last execution in the state. Fugate was sentenced to life in prison. In 1973, her sentence was commuted to 30 to 50 years and three years later she was paroled to start a new life in a small Michigan town. In Bennet, 16 miles southeast of Lincoln, memories linger of Bobby Jensen and two others who were among Starkweather’s victims. The others were August Meyer, 70, a farmer who was a friend of Starkweather’s father, and Jensen’s sweetheart Carol King, 16. Mayor Ab Jensen has lived in or near Bennet all his life. He and his wife Ruth were reluctant to talk publicly about Stark weather for fear it would renew' unwanted publicity. August Meyer was first cousin of the mayor’s mother. Bobby Jensen was related to the mayor’s wife. “Whenever you needed help, August was there,” Jensen said. He said Meyer kept his farm up better than many state parks at that time and took pride in his work, which included bringing neatly stacked Firewood to Ben net by a horse-drawn cart. “They were two kids you couldn’t help but like,” Jensen said of Carol King and Bobby Jensen, whom neighbors de scribed as All-American teena gers.
