the wing stop is about a mile from dr. bewtra s home. i was able to get a receipt for that that showed it at 2:26. well, i knew that dr. bewtra s alarm on her house had gone off at 2:19. and that was about a mile away from the restaurant. so your thinking is he tries to get into the bewtra house. he can t do it. correct. he leaves, maybe knowing he set off the burglar alarm, drives about a mile to this wing restaurant and he makes a purchase, and we would come to find out that while he was sitting at that location, he was searching for where dr. brumback resided. reporter: based on those factors, investigators became convinced anthony garcia was their man. you felt some urgency to arrest dr. garcia quickly. yes. because? we knew that he was a very real danger to anybody that he could have perceived that had wronged him on some level, and
