CRAIG, Colo. (AP) The husband of a woman missing since June was arrested on suspicion of murder after her body was found buried deep in a gold mine he operated, police said Sunday.
The body of Cynthia Hankins, 36, was found Saturday under tons of dirt in the mine, 33 miles north of Craig.
Terry Hankins, 70, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder, abusing a corpse, tampering with evidence, forgery, theft and possession of a controlled substance. Mrs. Hankins was reported missing June 3.
There’s a more detailed version of this story at the KUSA website, whence these pictures of the happy couple were lifted. According to the KUSA report, there was some significant criminal activity going on, the investigation of which led to the discovery of the body.
One gets the feeling we’re going to be hearing about this particular story quite a bit, going forward. There’s a lot going on here, that certainly the news people, and apparently the investigators as well, didn’t know about.
