this bloody crime spree started just a week ago today. the oldest of the two brothers.
seth gecko was serving time in rolling's kansas state penitentiary for his part in the 1988 scott city bank robbery in which two law enforcement officers lost their lives.
having served eight years of his twenty-two year sentence, seth gecko was brought to wichita municipal court house for his first parole hearing. it was while at the court house that this man.
 his younger brother richard gecko, a known armed robber and sex offender, pulled off a daring daylight escape.
resulting in the death of four wichita law enforcement officers, and this woman.
heide vogel, sixth grade teacher who was run over by the geckos during a high speed pursuit through downtown wichita.
from there the brothers traveled from kansas through oklahoma.
into the great state of texas, and then finally.
into abilene.
the list of the dead climbed up three more notches since our last telecast.
officer sherman goodell, who was in intensive care following the gun battle outside of the valley federal bank building.
died about forty-five minutes ago at hopkins general hospital. and about six hours ago, during a daylight liquor store robbery in big springs, the gecko brothers killed another texas ranger.
earl mcgraw.
and liquor store clerk pet bottoms.
then they proceeded to burn the store down to the ground.
that changes the death toll to fifteen. five texas rangers.  eight police officers three civilians.
and one hostage.
 bank teller and mother of four, gloria hill.
heading the case to bring these fugitives to justice is fbi agent stanley chase. we talked with agent chase earlier this afternoon.
agent chase, does it appear that they are heading for mexico.
are you optimistic about the safety of the hostage they took in abilene, gloria hill?
what about the report from an eyewitness at the liquor store who said one of the brothers was shot?
is it safe to assume that because the death count involved and the loss of life of law enforcement officers, that the bureau, the rangers and the police force are taking this manhunt personally?
