On the night of December 14, 2000, 29-year-old Aaron Sander was among five friends who were ambushed at a home on Birchwood Drive in Wichita. Two armed intruders forced their way in and held the group for hours. The captors forced the victims to perform sexual acts on one another, repeatedly raped the women, and made them withdraw cash from ATMs before driving them to a remote, snow-covered soccer field in northeast Wichita in the early morning hours of December 15.

At the field all five were shot execution-style. Aaron Sander, Brad Heyka, Jason Befort, and Heather Muller died at the scene. Befort’s girlfriend survived a gunshot to the head and escaped to get help; her testimony helped police quickly identify and arrest suspects after a tip led officers to a stolen truck.

Investigators linked the killings to a week-long crime spree that also included the robbery and murder of 55-year-old Wichita Symphony cellist Ann Walenta. Two brothers were charged in connection with the attacks. Does anyone have information about Aaron or the others from that night that could shed more light on what happened?
