Authorities were making arrange
ments to take him back to Omaha,
Brown said.
“If they can’t take him back today,
we’ll keep him another night,”
Brown said.
Hankins was arrested on a felony
warrant charging him with the theft
of a car belonging to Danae Cook.
Amarillo Deputy Police Chief
James Skinner said Hankins called
the Amarillo police at 12:05 a.m.
Sunday from the Union 76 Truck
Stop on Interstate 40 in east Am
arillo. Hankins was taken into cus
tody about 10 minutes later.
Earlier, Omaha police had said
they had no evidence to link Han
kins directly with the deaths.
Omaha police learned that Han
kins had been staying with Danae
Cook for some time and had
stopped living with her just before
last weekend. Investigators said they
did not believe she and Hankins
were romantically involved.
Mrs. Cook and her son, Kevin,
formerly lived in Omaha but had
moved to Aurora, Colo.
The three murder victims all suf
fered fatal head injuries. Police de
clined to comment on how the inju
ries were inflicted except to say the
three died violent deaths.
Danae Cook’s 1974 Chevrolet
Monte Carlo had been missing since
the bodies were found.
Hankins’ arrest came after a
nearly two-day manhunt for him in
New Mexico. State police recovered
Cook’s car after a 70-mile chase Fri
day in east-central New Mexico.
New Mexico authorities said offi
cers lost the man when his car be
came mired in sand and he fled on
foot.

Founder of children's home

Ron Dusek,af'
;as attorney
R At age 64 and a widow since 1969,
striking out on her own with a new
household to maintain indepen
dently of the foster home has pre
sented new concerns — and some re
grets, she said.
■ “I know I should have planned
for me while I was planning for the
children,” she said, but the children
came first.
As founder and director of the
home, she received room and board
but too’ no salary. All donations, in
cluding a $60,000 bequest from a
benefactor two years ago, went to
the foundation for care of the chil
dren.
She has no pension or medical in
surance and has not yet qualified for
Social Security. After a heart attack
three years ago, her insurance com
pany discontinued her coverage.
The board of the Thelma Boston
Foundation, which now operates the
foster home, is helping pay the bal
ance of her medical bills and will pay
her $50 a month as a consultant.
But the prospect of paying utility
bills on her own this winter is unset
tling, at least until her eligibility for
Social Security benefits is deter
mined, she told theDallas Morning
TVewsMonday.
But worry fades when conversa
tion turns to nurturing more than
200 “children nobody wanted” over
the last quarter-century.
But two weeks ago, several judges,
believing the new law is faulty, began
conducting hearings and demand
ing payments from bondsmen when
clients don’t show up for trial.
“You’ve got to pretty much throw
a monkey wrench in the system,”
said Randy Adler, a Dallas attorney
representing several bail-bonding
companies. “I don’t think the judges
are out to get anybody. It’s just that
right now, we don’t know what the
rules are.”
The controversy stems from a
state criminal appeals court ruling
two years ago that overturned a key
section of the state bail-bond act
dealing with the liability of bond
smen for clients who are no-shows.
Under the nullified section, bond
smen were liable for 5 percent of the
amount posted to get a person out of
jail if they helped bring the de
fendant back for trial within two
years of the original court date.
But Dallas County judges im
posed formal guidelines about how
much a bondsman should pay the
county if a client misses the trial and
when the payment was due.
Bondsmen who liked the 5 per
cent provision pressed for and ulti
mately won a new rule, outlined in
the law that took effect in June.
It forces the county to wait 18
months before seeking payment
from a bondsman if his missing cli
ent is charged with a felony crime
and nine months if the charge is a
misdemeanor.
The bondsman is liable for noth
ing, except expenses, if the bail-
jumper is captured within those time
frames, regardless of whether the
bondsman aided in the apprehen
sion.
