Starkweather manhunt ends as duo flee Nebraska
Starkweather, a former Lincoln garbage collector, is pursued by about 500 National Guardsmen and police after a five day killing spree that claimed nine Nebraska victims. Caril, his 18 month sweetheart, says she feared he would take her to Washington state. Authorities fear possible accomplice links and race across the Midwest to capture the pair before they strike again.
