Suspect Surrenders in 3 Nebraska Bank Murders
Duane Pope 22, fresh from college, surrendered after a nationwide manhunt begun when three Big Springs Nebraska bank employees were shot during a holdup. The FBI processed the case, Pope faced a $100000 bond, and authorities said he provided little about the June 4 robbery.

Pope had traveled from Roxbury Kansas to Las Vegas and beyond, with a 1939 Buick convertible, after the crime.
