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. the prairie takes on a sweet, rolling pitch as it tucks into a nebraska corner an hour south of omaha. here the rich black soil has grown solid and faithful american. 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 family s name is carved on it was easter sunday, 2006. a big farm yard and like every year, an easter egg hunt. grandma and papa s 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 don t t
