How they died
Suicide
Thomas J. Yoakum and Sue Danforth sat inside Big E's Lounge in Cozad until the bartender announced last call shortly before 1 a.m. Yoakum reportedly went to his pickup, returned with a shotgun, held up the bar, then fled with Danforth. A high-speed chase ensued, covering 30 miles over back roads and I-80 before the pickup returned to Cozad and crashed into a light pole and trash bin about five blocks from the bar. According to police, officers found Yoakum and Danforth dead of apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds in the truck.
