Police probe possible link in Nebraska killings – CNN.com

(CNN) — Police in Omaha, Nebraska, are looking into whether two double killings could be linked.

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

Roger Brumback was a professor in the pathology and neurology departments at Creighton University.

On March 13, 2008, 11-year-old Thomas Hunter and his family’s housekeeper, Shirlee Sherman, were found dead in the Hunters’ home in Omaha, according to the FBI.

The boy’s father, Dr. William Hunter, is also a professor in Creighton’s pathology department. He did not immediately return a call from CNN, but he told the Omaha World-Herald that he wondered if the same person could have been responsible.

Philly abortion doctor guilty in 3 babies’ deaths | www.ajc.com

PHILADELPHIA —

A Philadelphia abortion doctor was found guilty Monday of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who authorities say were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy clinic, in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation’s debate over abortion.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the drug-overdose death of a patient who had undergone an abortion. He was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a soft whimper before he snipped its neck.

Gosnell appeared hopeful before the verdict was read and calm afterward; jurors and lawyers on both sides were more emotional.
