Pathological: The Murderous Rage of Dr. Anthony Garcia

Pathological recounts the murders, investigation, and trial of Dr. Anthony Garcia, known as the "Creighton Killer." In March 2008, Detective Derek Mois responded to a home in an affluent Omaha neighborhood where an 11-year-old boy and a housekeeper had been murdered with kitchen knives thrust into their throats. The case went unsolved for five years until a similar crime occurred—two more victims killed with knives expertly directed at their jugular veins. The pattern of murders led Mois and a special task force to suspect a serial killer, ultimately pointing them toward the Department of Pathology at Creighton University. Authors Henry J. Cordes and Todd Cooper, who covered the story for the Omaha World-Herald, detail the investigation and sensational trial that followed, exploring themes of revenge and the determination of the detectives involved.
