CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod and 48 HOURS investigate the strange
tale of two double murders, five years apart, that shook two quiet
Omaha neighborhoods and led police to an unlikely suspect, in “Resident
Evil,” to be broadcast Saturday, May 6 (10:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The killer started by murdering 11-year-old Thomas Hunter and his
family’s housekeeper, Shirlee Sherman, after school on March 13, 2008.
They were stabbed to death. Police found no DNA, and there was no
apparent motive for someone to want them dead. A neighbor, however,
spotted an unfamiliar silver car and caught a glimpse of the driver.
Still, the case went cold five months later, leaving a community worried
about a killer among them.
Five years later, Dr. Roger Brumback and his wife, Mary, were stabbed
to death in their home. Brumback was a beloved physician who spent most
of his career working on childhood diseases.
“Scott and I had a real definitive moment after we walked through that
house. I’ve seen these things before,” Omaha Police detective Derek Mois
says of arriving at the Brumback’s home with Sgt. Scott Warner.
For the two law enforcement officers, the attack on the Brumbacks was
eerily similar to what they found five years earlier with the Hunter and
Sherman murders. “Specifically,” says Mois, “with the wounds to the
right side of the neck.”
There were more ties, however. As the police dug a little deeper, they
learned that Hunter’s dad was Dr. Brumback’s colleague at the Creighton
University Medical Center. The trail would lead to the hospital and a
medical resident, Anthony Garcia, who had been fired by Hunter and
Brumback.
Was Garcia, a man who took an oath to help people, a killer? “I don’t
know,” says Garcia’s mother, Estella Garcia, in the only interview she
has given. “If he did, it’s a totally different person than we’re
talking about.”
