On September 26, 2002, Jo Mausbach, 42, was among five people killed during a rapid, violent armed robbery at the U.S. Bank branch in Norfolk, Nebraska. Three men entered the bank and, in less than a minute, fatally shot Mausbach, three of her colleagues — Lola Elwood, 43; Lisa Bryant, 29; and Samuel Sun, 50 — and a customer, Evonne Tuttle, 37. The attack was over almost as soon as it began, leaving the community reeling.

Investigators identified four suspects and within hours arrested the group. Jose Sandoval, Jorge Galindo, and Erick Vela were described as the gunmen who entered the bank; Gabriel Rodriguez was identified as the getaway driver. All four were charged with five counts of first-degree murder. Three of the men were later convicted and sentenced to death; the fourth received multiple life sentences.

Did anyone in Norfolk have information about the suspects, the robbery, or the moments immediately before it that could shed more light on what happened?
