His wife was stabbed to death, much the same way Thomas Hunter and Shirlee Sherman had been stabbed, according to investigators. Roger Brumback was shot in the doorway of his home and then stabbed. Police believe he then found the Brumbacks' address on his smartphone and attacked them.


Prosecutors said Garcia pushed in a back door of that woman's home but fled when the home's alarm went off. Prosecutors also presented evidence that Garcia had sought to attack another Creighton medical school faculty member on the same day the Brumbacks were killed. One receipt showed Garcia eating a meal at a chicken wings restaurant within two hours of when police believe the Brumbacks were attacked. During the trial, prosecutors presented massive amounts of circumstantial evidence, including credit card and cellphone records placing Garcia in and around Omaha the day the Brumbacks were killed.
