Ashley Mason was an 11-year-old girl from Mansfield, Texas, who was killed on August 27, 2001. She was one of four family members found dead in their Mansfield mobile home when relatives discovered the bodies. Ashley’s stepfather, Terry Lee Hankins, an Arlington auto mechanic, was arrested the next day after a five-hour standoff with police and later confessed to the murders of his estranged wife, Tammy Hankins, 34, and her two children, Kevin Galley, 12, and Ashley Mason.

Hankins’ confession also led to discovery of the earlier murders of his half-sister, Pearl Sevenstar, 20, and his father, Earnie Hankins, 55, who had been killed in 2000. Prosecutors presented evidence at trial about Hankins’ upbringing and prior abuse; he was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.

Was anyone in Mansfield at the time able to help investigators with information about the family or their neighborhood life?
