Two suspects arrested
in death of a trucker
News in Brief
Rangers look
FORT WORTH (AP) — Two sus
pects have been identified in the death
of a white Arizona trucker who was run
over after defending his black friend
from racial slurs.
Amy Burdick, 29, of Fort Worth,
was in the Tarrant County jail Wednes
day on a $25,000 bond following her
arrest on a charge of murder. Police
were still searching for Danny Lee Bell,
30, also of Fort Worth, who was being
sought on a murder charge.
Fort Worth police believe that Bell and
Burdick were the occupants of a vehicle
that was used to run down James Thomp
son, 56, of Showlow, Ariz., during the ear
ly morning hours of Jan. 30.
Police reports say that Thompson
was intentionally run over in a parking
lot after he defended his friend from
racial slurs made by a white couple in
the ear. Bell was allegedly the driver of
that vehicle, and Burdick the passenger.
Thompson died Sunday at John Pe
ter Smith Hospital, where he had been
in the intensive care unit with massive
head injuries.
Police spokesman Lt. David Burgess
said the suspects were identified
through several tips investigators have
received since the incident in the park
ing lot between Irene’s Pink Poodle
Coffee Shoppe and the Pink Poodle
Cocktail Lounge. The two buildings are
adjacent to each other in an area a few
miles north of downtown Fort Worth.
Thompson and his friend left the
lounge after 2 a.m. and were on their
way to eat next door when a couple in
a car started yelling racial slurs, police
said. Thompson’s friend ignored the re
marks and kept walking, hut Thompson
chose to defend him.
After a short argument with Thomp
son, the couple drove to the far end of
the parking lot, turned around, acceler
ated and struck Thompson, according
to the police report. The man and
woman in the car sped from the scene.
The name of Thompson’s black
friend is marked out on the police re
port released to the public.
The friend, who identified himself
as a bouncer at the lounge, told police
that Thompson was a regular and that
he did not see the couple inside the club
that night.
A woman who answered the phone
at Irene’s Pink Poodle Coffee Shoppe
identified herself as the manager. She
refused to provide the identity of the
black man, who she said was fearful of
repercussions and didn’t want to be
bothered.

Drifter indicted in attacks
DF.L RIO, Texas (AP) —A grand jury has indicted a 35-year-old drifter on cap
ital murder and attempted murder charges live weeks after a knife attack that left one
girl dead and a second seriously wounded.
Tommy Lynn Sells, 35, was indicted Tuesday. I le is being held in the Val Verde
County Jail.
Since his arrest. Sells, a former carnival worker who used to ride the rails, has be
come a suspect in killings in other states.
He was arrested Jan. 2 and charged in the assault two days earlier on Kaylene I lar-
ris, 13, who was killed, and Krystal Surles, 10, who was badly wounded. The girls
were attacked as they slept in hunk beds at the I larris family home near Del Rio.
Sells has confessed to breaking into the mobile home and slitting the throats of
the girls with a boning knife.
Harris died almost instantly, while Surles ran to a neighbor’s house for help. She
survived and helped create a composite portrait that identified Sells as her attacker
and led authorities to him.
“He said, ‘I thought I killed her too,”’ Texas Ranger John Allen reported Sells
as saying.
Since his arrest, police say Sells also has confessed to 10 killings in six states. So
far, he is a suspect in at least three: one in Del Rio, one in Lexington, Ky., and one in
Tucson, Ariz.
