creighton thing pops up. and prosecutors said items found in garcia s home indicated that he was trying to destroy traces of his troubled past. there s this trash bag sitting in the sink, a chemical odor emanating from that, and it s all these papers in there. in these papers after they re dried out is the termination letter from dr. brumback and dr. hunter. handwritten notes. and there s something about putting tape on your fingers? tape on your fingers. park your car somewhere else. walk to the location. buy common shoes. buy common shoes. sort of a list that a killer would make. yes, it is. prosecutors said the two sets of murders, five years apart, correlated with garcia s career struggles. the first in 2008 came two weeks after he was fired by lsu-shreveport. the second, in 2013, followed another round of unemployment and financial troubles. he s trying to get jobs at temporary agencies. he s having financial issues.
