The State - News from Dec. 4, 1985

The estranged wife of Cameron Hooker, the lumber mill worker recently convicted of holding a young woman as a sex slave for seven years, has filed for divorce. Janice Hooker, 27, cited irreconcilable differences in her petition in Tehama County Superior Court. Her lawyer, Ron McIver, said she also asked for custody of the couple’s two elementary school-age daughters, Christi and Angela. She has been estranged from Hooker, 31, since she left him in August, 1984, with Colleen Stan, the woman kidnaped by Hooker while Stan, then 21, was hitchhiking near Red Bluff in 1977. Hooker was convicted on charges of kidnaping, rape and other sex crimes and was sentenced Nov. 22 to a maximum 104 years in state prison.
