Creighton University professor Roger Brumback and wife Mary killed in Nebraska

This is a strange case.

Brumback, she said, had been teaching and working as director of autopsy pathology at Creighton since stepping down as chairman. He worked to diagnose the reasons for patients’ deaths at Creighton University Medical Center.

It was the second killing connected to the university’s pathology department in five years.

Not only is it the 2nd killing in the department, it at least appears police may think they’re linked in some way. Hmm - via University professor, wife killed in Nebraska – CNN.com.

Police in Omaha, Nebraska, said Thursday that they’re looking into whether there’s a connection between the recent killings of a university professor and his wife and two unsolved area homicides.

Roger and Mary Brumback, both 65, were found dead at their home early Tuesday by officers responding to a welfare call.

Police are saying little else about the case.

They do not plan to release additional information, police said, in order to protect the investigation, which is being led by a homicide unit.

Roger Brumback worked with Dr. William Hunter, whose 11-year-old son, Thomas, and housekeeper, Shirlee Sherman, 57, were fatally stabbed inside the family’s Dundee home in 2008. His wife, Dr. Claire Hunter, works in Creighton’s cardiology department.

That case remains unsolved.

“He was an academic and an excellent neuropathologist,” William Hunter said of Brumback.
