Last year, AMW on Lifetime profiled one of the most tragic unsolved cases in recent memory. On March 13th, 2008, 11-year old Thomas Hunter was found stabbed to death in his home, along with his 57-year old caretaker, Shirlee Sherman. There is a very chilling update in this case. This past week, Dr. Roger Brumback, a Creighton University professor and his wife were found murdered in their home, and police are investigating whether there is a possible connection. Roger Brumback was a pathology professor and colleague of Thomas' parents at the university's school of medicine. Thomas' father, Dr. William Hunter, works in the same department as Brumback did and the boy's mother, Dr. Claire Hunter, works in the cardiology department. Do you guys think there may be a connection here? Or is this just a coincidence? www.amw.com/fugitives/case.cfm?id=80489www.ksro.com/news/article.aspx?id=4953405abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/omaha-task-force-probes-slayings-years-19217709#.UZq7dLVQHVQEDIT/UPDATE: 40-year old Anthony Garcia, a former Creighton University student has been arrested and charged with both the Brumback and Hunter/Sherman slayings. |

It may appear to be a coincidence. The murders of Thomas Hunter and Shirlee Sherman to me may have been committed by someone Thomas met on an online chatroom, based on Thomas's online activity and a vehicle with out-of-state license plates was seen near the home at the time of the double homicide. If this is true then it would be highly unusual for the same offender to travel to Nebraska again and commit another double homicide. Then again, both murder cases occurred while the victims were at home, so anything is possible. www.wowt.com/news/headlines/Cold_Case_Update_Dundee_Murders_138984264.html |

Well there goes my theory out the window. Thankfully this extremely heinous man (three adults and an 11-year old boy dead) and serial killer in the making has finally been arrested. |

It says he was fired from the Pathology department by both Thomas's father and Roger Brumback. It seems to me that the motive was possibly revenge but we'll wait and see.

I've done that message search thing and it doesn't always work for some reason. But yeah, it's now deleted, no biggie.  |

Thanks for the update. Sickening to hear he allegedly bragged about murdering a small child.

I'm bumping this up since this is driving me crazy. I love John Walsh, don't get me wrong, but I have seen him multiple times talking about this case in regards to internet safety- even saying the "Unknown" killer is his most wanted fugitive from the Lifetime season- unaware that a suspect has been arrested- and police believe the motive was revenge and Thomas Hunter and Shirlee were not even his intended targets. I've heard Walsh claim Hunter was on Facebook which I don't even remember (I remember the airing it said something about a gaming community where his username was "cupcakeK"), and in one interview, I heard him say he "raped and killed" Thomas and I only remember hearing about him being stabbed. I'm not throwing him under a bus here just because AMW's been cancelled. John Walsh is and will always be my hero but it seems he does not remember some details of this case and I'm disappointed. What he preaches about internet safety is important and is advice that definitely should be listened to. But in this case in particular- police believe Thomas Hunter's internet habits were NOT what led to his murder- especially considering the same man is believe to have killed Thomas's father's colleague as well. Still, I will say at the end of the day- his main message- that parents need to parent up and better monitor their children's activities- is great and spot on advice. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2375491/Dr-Anthony-Garcia-charged-revenge-killings-shot-stabbed-death-people.html |

For killing three men and women and killing a child, I hope they sentence him to death row plus 3 times life.
