the hate he had already into more hatred. but there was one person, the 18-year-old starkweather didn t hate. he had eyes for spunky and rebellious 13-year-old named carol ann fugate. she said, my god, he was so funny, he put me on a pedestal, he always wanted to buy me things. the two cruised around lincoln in charlie s beat up 49 hot rod. charlie was also a crack shot and really into guns and carol s parents didn t like him one bit. they probably weren t very impressed with him. as a person, they serge were concerned about the age difference between them. this empty lot is all thatry mains of where carol was living at the time, with her hard working stepfather, and her mother sell da. also giving there was her 2
1/2-year-old half sister jean. charlie s desire to buy things for carol soon became problematic. after getting fired and having a fight with his father, he was kicked out of the house. charlie was desperate for money. located here on corn husker highway, this used to be a crest gas station that charlie used to like to hang around. in the early morning hours of one employee working, 21-year-old robert holbrooke, who was married with a baby on the way. starkweather robbed him and then forced him at gunpoint to drive them both to a secluded area. he came in and robbed holbrooke, took hit out in a secluded area and killed him. do we even know how much money he got. i would guess under $100.

fugate was there, saw all of this and knew exactly what was happening to her family? no doubt in my mind. it is not true. it s not true. various people came to the home looking for charlie, trying to reach out to carol ann fugate s mother, and her demeanor was very hod? mrs. bartlett s mother wanted to get in the house. carol said we re all sick with the flu, you can t come in. carol had a sign on the door saying stay out, everybody was sick with the flu. and it was signed miss bartlett. the only miss bartlett was in the home was her little sister who couldn t read or write yet. and it was maybe somebody will figure this out and do something because i m afraid to do something. other family members and even the lincoln police stopped by during the week but carol stopped them from coming inside.
