No sign of life. Not to them, anyway. He hit the brakes. This was the place. They grabbed their weapons, headed for the house. A window unlocked. Pay dirt.

A tiny remnant who have planted themselves in and around a place called murdock, the sort of place where heads turn when a stranger drives by. And a familys name is carved on it was Easter Sunday, 2006. A big farm yard and like every year, an Easter Egg Hunt. Grandma and papas yard. Reporter or mom and dad to tami who brought her own son, like always. They found their easter eggs. They found their Easter Baskets. Mom always made every individual Easter Basket special to that child. Reporter they were like generous, steady, always there for their children. The eldest steve and daughter tami, the youngest andy. They were loving parents. I dont think they ever missed a game of any of ours. Dad would stop farming just to be at a game. Same way with mom. Reporter wayne stock was a businessman farmer. Ran the stock hay company, and a very successful business it was. Wayne owned a thousand acres of sharmon was locally famous for her specialty cakes, wedding and otherwise. They were church youth leaders. Hed served on the school board. Busy people. Yeah. Very, very. They touched the lives of so many people. Reporter she was a teachers aide for 17 years at a rural school. Taught lessons also that didnt end in class. One thing i always heard from mom was take responsibility for your actions, be rib she would praise you and just keep pushing you to do better. She always wanted us to be better people. Reporter and then came that Easter Sunday, 2006. Church services, a big family dinner, that Easter Egg Hunt for the grandkids. Their last day on this earth. Cant forget that one day. My kids remember it. They talk about it all the time. Reporter i suppose as last days go, that wouldnt be a bad one. No, it wasnt. Easter party. Spent the day with his future inlaws but left his young puppy with his parents. Called mom and dad on my way home. And said im going to come get the dog. They said, oh, no, he can just stay here. Hell be fine. You know, he sleeps on the porch. And well watch him till monday morning. Reporter would history have been different had he listened to his parents . Hard to know, of course. They met me on the deck at the back of the house. What they did, and they each gave me a hug and i went home. Reporter you remember that moment, it makes you feel pretty emotional, doesnt it . Yeah. Yeah. Reporter next morning, andy, who was being groomed to run stock hay himself some day, drove the half mile from his place to his parents farm, ready to go to work. I drove in and i went in the shop. And dads pickup was there, strange. So i thought, well, ill see if he took moms car somewhere and looked in the garage and her car was there. Picked up the phone in the house. There was no dial tone. Thats when my heart kind of sunk that for some reason was a little bit of a trigger in my mind. Reporter something was wrong. Something was wrong. I thought i better go upstairs. As i started up the stairs, there was some blood on the walls and, you know, i knew it was bad. Repor i surreal a moment like that. Does your mind even register . No. I think the good lord protects us. Reporter yeah. Till i rounded the corner, and saw dad laying there on the floor. And it was a horrible thing. Reporter it was perhaps the central moment in his life so far. Nothing would be the same after them . I never made it past the landing. My cell phone was out in my pickup, and just turned around, went to call for help. Reporter the ambulance was there in 12 minutes. Their first lawman in 20. Andy stood outside in shock, calling family without even knowing what happened or what to say. Andys wife and i work together. She answered the phone call. And she didnt even recognize andys voice. And theyve been together for nine years. Reporter your own wife. She came in the back and said, tam, somethings wrong. Andy just called and said come quick. Dads laying in a pool of blood. Reporter but like the rational farm folk they are, 30 miles away and close to the nearest hospital, they did not assume the worst. Even when they tried to call answering. By 11 30, both of us were like somethings really wrong. And the minister called and said, you need to come home. And i said, im not going anywhere until you tell me whats wrong. And they said, your mom and dad have been killed. And i think i did start screaming. And we headed towards the farm to be with and never in a million years would you think that youd see your parents house taped off by that yellow tape. Reporter it was a stunning crime. Big news throughout the midwest. The stocks the most unlikely victims. Wayne found on the upstairs landing dead of a shotgun blast. Wife sharmon murdered in her own bedroom. A telephone in hand as if trying to call for help. The county sheriff advised caution. Right now this is an unsolved homicide. Somebody from another town, we dont know at this time.

Just a couple of hours after wayne and sharmon stocks son discovered their bodies in their rural Nebraska Farmhouse on Easter Monday 2006, the word got Law Enforcement swarmed the scene, neighbors expressed shock in that understated midwestern way. Theyre just typical nebrka farm background people, and you wouldnt expect it. Reporter andy stock, as you can see in these pictures taken on that very day, stood next to his pickup in utter shock waiting for his brother and sister to arrive. And he struggled to process it all. As his fathers words echoed in his mind. Ill never forget july of 05. Dad and i were working together. We were standing there, and he he said, when its my day to go, hold your head high, keep living life. Ill never forget that. Reporter but it was all happening so fast. Wayne and sharmon stock had been gunned down in the safety of their own home, the sanctity of their own bedroom. Why would anyone want them dead . And who . Andy was the last to see his parents alive, the one who found their bodies in the morning, it sounds, a potential suspect. Before i even saw steve and tami, they had put me in a car and took me to another town and questioned me in a room. Reporter trying to establish whether or not you were involved. Yeah. Did gunshot residue tests. Like is this really happening . Reporter andy stock didnt realize it at the time but after all, he was there, he had opportunity, and he may have had motive. He might have had something to gain from his parents death. Why . Andy stock was the already designated heir to the stock hay company, which some people might consider a family fortune. As investigators questioned andy, csi units were busily working the crime scene as well. It was a very brutal crime scene. It was one of the worst ive ever seen. Reporter one of those leading the investigation . David kofoed, the head of the csi squad in douglas county. From omaha, an hour away, he was called in to help the smaller Cass County Sheriffs Department. What really bothers me is that these two people were just sleeping in bed and the male victim was apparently crawling away and he was shot in the head. Clearly an execution. Reporter close up. Close up. Phone in her hand, and she had been shot in the eye at close range. Reporter investigators found out pretty quickly how the stooks killer or killers had entered the house. A screen had been lifted, a window appeared to have been forced open leading into the laundry room. From there it appeared the killers route might have gone past the now empty Easter Basket sharmon had made, through the well kept kitchen, then up the stairs to where the stocks lay four 12gauge shotgun shells leaving a trail to the bodies. Wayne tried to get up but was shot in the knee. It left a huge powder burn on the bed. Then wayne was shot in the head. Sharmon killed, too, as she tried to call 911. Then it became apparent, it wasnt just one killer, but at least two. When we did the blood pattern analysis, we saw a void area at the top of the steps. Reporter which could only mean one thing. Wayne stock from behind, this area, called a void area, was where another killer would have been standing. The second killer sprayed with blood spatter instead of a wall. Kofoed and his team found a wealth of evidence outside the house, too. It was a big farm operation. And there was a lot of out buildings and it was complicated by the fact that theyd had an Easter Egg Hunt the day before. So we had a lot of shoe prints and stuff. Reporter but one print stood out. I saw a shoe print in the mud that w by a flower bed near the front door. Reporter and beyond the flower bed, there was a virtual trail of evidence left by the likely killers. In a gravel driveway, there was a marijuana pipe and about ten feet from it, there was a flashlight, and those two things were obviously out of place. Reporter you could sort of imagine the Television Show csi. Right. Reporter theres a light, oh, theres a its just too easy. I think one thing i knew pretty much right at the beginning was i could visibly see blood on the outside of the flashlight. We knew that had to be involved. Reporter but then a real breakthrough. A Newspaper Carrier called in to report that he and his girlfriend saw something. Theyd been driving down this country road middle of the night about a mile from the stock farmhouse down there. And just here outside this cemetery, they saw a car just parked h strange cars just dont get parked on country roads outside murdock, nebraska, at 3 00 in the morning. It was tan or light brown, fourdoor sedan said the young man. And what really stuck out was that this car later passed them in the same area that same night. This time driving 60 or 70 miles an hour. It was in a rush, it appeared, to get away. Investigators now had a number of clues. That car, seen by the newspaper appeared to be blood on it. The marijuana pipe. And detectives were probably looking for more than one killer. But a motive . Who knew . Not a thing was missing. Wallets, purses, gun collections, even a safe hidden in the bedroom floor, all untouched. But all that evidence.

And it wasnt long before investigators restored him to his family and dropped him from their list of possible suspects in the awful murders of wayne and sharmon stock. Besides, as detectives questioned the couples large extended family, another relatives name came up quite often actually. Matt livers. He was wayne and sharmons the afternoon leading up to the murder. But he wasnt there by virtue of being a family favorite. In fact, livers was considered a black sheep. He bounced from job to job. Never finding his niche. Family members told police matt was slow, different. He had no criminal record, but there was, they said, an ongoing problem between matt and the stocks. They described disagreements, sometimes heated. They said sharmon had a dislike for matt. The stocks oldest son steve i think in my head i went to it a little bit just knowing that they hadnt gotten along real well. I had my own suspicion. Reporter just two days after the murders, detectives visited matt livers former employer, asked about his personality, rumors that he had a temper. They put a watch on him and went through his garbage, too. Lincoln, about 30 miles from the murder scene. Then on april 25th, then eight days after the bodies were discovered they asked matt livers to come in and answer some questions. Youre free to leave at any time. Im here to cooperate with you gentleman. Reporter he was unerringly courteous, deferential to the two detectives questioning him. Said hed never been interviewed by police before. What do you think happened . I dont have any idea. I would like to know why. Who, what, when, where h and why . You know, why would somebody do this to such good people, very christian people . Very likable people. Reporter livers told them after the big family dinner with the stocks, he drove home the half hour to lincoln where he stayed all night with his girlfriend sara and saras young son and a roommate. He did admit to having disagreements with his uncle issues, but those were minor, he said. Any problems between you guys . Years ago we kind of had a tiff. Yeah, but you know, thats been done, forgotten. Reporter after five hours of questions, matt livers agreed to take a polygraph. Do you know for sure who caused the death of wayne stock . No. Reporter if he was looking to clear himself of suspicion by taking that test, d have the desired effect. Your subconscious body is telling the machine. You cannot fool it. I didnt have anything to do with this. You did. I did not. You did. I did not, bill. You did. No, i didnt. Im sorry. You did. Reporter for hours they locked horns with livers. Despite his continued denial of involvement, they knew he was lying. Weve had too many people sitting in that chair that think no. Dumb as a brick. No, you are not dumb as a brick. Okay . You made a mistake. And you got to pay for it. Reporter why were investigators here in nebraska so convinced matt livers was lying . Well, besides the polygraph, there was the state profiler who suggested that this is the sort of crime committed by young males who know their victims. How else would they know to find the farm house way out in the middle of nowhere if they didnt know them . And add to that, said the profiler, this is the sort of crime that appeared to be very personal. An execution. Matt livers rang those bells, all of them, and rang them loudly. Eventually, detectives got quite explicit, telling livers he was headed for death row. Unless he would start giving them what they knew to be true. You dont admit to me exactly what youve done, im going to walk out that door and do my level best to hang your ass from the highest tree. Youre done. This is your one shot. We put the olive branch out right now and attempt to help okay . Electric chair, gas, lethal injection. Reporter it was that technique that finally produced the desired effect. Rough, perhaps, yes, but matt livers started confessing. You got a gun. Right. And you took that gun back to your uncle and aunt sharmons house, right . Right or wrong . Come on, matt. Right. Reporter now that the cat was out of the bag, livers began filling in more of the blanks. How the murder went down, for example. You put the gun to her face and blew her away. Okay. And then as i headed out, i just stuck it to him and blew him away. Reporter then a bonus. Remember how that blood spatter off to jail, matt livers gave them a name to match the void on the wall. So perhaps its not so surprising that in the elation of the moment, detectives had no idea, not a clue, that they had just jumped down an alice in wonderland rabbit hole. The case snares a second suspect not just with an accusation, but with what now, that was the real smoking gun. I mean, youve got him. On my moderatefocusing to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. So i made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. Tributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask about humira, the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. Clearer skin is possible. Wahhhh. Right. In. Your. Stomach watch this . Yikes, that ice cream was messing with you, wasnt it . Try lactaid, its real ice cream, the children of wayne and sharmon stock were still reeling from their grief as they bury are you awake . I said, yeah, whats going on . He said, they arrested matt and nick. And i said, matt and nick who . And he said, our cousin matt and reporter it was true. Matt livers had confessed to the murders of his aunt and uncle. Put the gun to her face and blew her away. Reporter and hed named an accomplice. 22yearold nick sampson. A cousin of matts on another branch of the family tree. My h
