Roger Brumback, 65, a longtime Creighton University pathologist preparing for retirement, and his wife Mary were found dead inside their west Omaha home on May 14, 2013, after a piano mover arriving for an appointment noticed the front door ajar. Investigators initially did not detail the cause of death publicly, but later said Roger had been shot and stabbed and Mary was fatally stabbed. The scene prompted a double-homicide investigation that quickly drew links to the 2008 killings of 11-year-old Thomas Hunter and the Hunter family’s housekeeper Shirlee Sherman, both tied to the same Creighton pathology circle where Brumback worked.

Authorities focused on a former pathology resident whose tenure at Creighton had ended badly; Illinois State Police arrested Dr. Anthony Garcia on July 15, 2013, near the Indiana border. Prosecutors alleged Garcia had been fired by Brumback and William Hunter and presented evidence placing him in Omaha around the Brumback murders, including credit card activity, cell-phone searches for the Brumback address, a .45-caliber handgun recovered in his vehicle at arrest, and items seized from his home suggesting planning and efforts to mask his identity. A jury later convicted Garcia of four murders and appellate courts upheld the convictions and sentence.

Did anyone in Omaha know the Brumbacks or notice anything unusual at their home around May 14, 2013?
