Pearl Sissy Stevenstar, 20, was murdered on October 1, 2000. Court documents state she was fatally beaten with a jack stand by her half-brother, Terry Lee Hankins. Her remains were later found stuffed into a plastic ice chest that had been hidden in a car at her father’s auto repair shop. Documents say she was the mother of Hankins’ child and was pregnant by him at the time of her death.

Those killings were part of a series of violent crimes attributed to Hankins. Days after Pearl’s murder, their father, Earnie Lee Hankins, was shot and killed on October 8, 2000; his decomposing body was found in a recliner inside his mobile home, with air fresheners around it. Court records connect Hankins to additional slayings in August 2001. Hankins later confessed to police about the murders of his father and half-sister and was convicted and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have information about Pearl’s life, where she lived, or who might have known her in 2000?
