From Times Wire Reports
In Arlington a man suspected of killing his estranged wife and her two children kept the deaths of his father and sister a secret for 11 months by telling neighbors they were caring for sick relatives.
Neighbors were satisfied with Terry Lee Hankins’ explanations until he was charged last week in the shooting deaths of his estranged wife and two children.
Acting on his statement, police found the body of Hankins’ father, Ernie L. Hankins, 75, in his mobile home, where he’d been dead since October. A second body, possibly his sister, was also found.
