The remote farming community of Murdock, Nebraska, seemed to be the
least likely setting for one of the heartland's most ruthless and
bloody double murders in decades. In fact, the little town had gone
more than a century without a single homicide. But on the night of
Easter 2006, Wayne and Sharmon Stock were brutally murdered in
their home. The murders garnered sensational frontpage headlines
and drew immediate statewide attention. Practically everybody
around Murdock was filled with fear, panic, and outrage. Who killed
Wayne and Sharmon Stock? What was the motive? The Stocks were the
essence of Nebraska's all-American farm family, self-made,
God-fearing, and of high moral character. Barely a week into this
double murder investigation, two arrests brought a sense of relief
to the victims' family and to local residents. The case appeared to
fall neatly into place when a tiny speck of murder victim Wayne
Stock's blood appeared in the alleged getaway car. Then, an obscure
clue left at the crime scene took the investigation down a totally
different path, stretching into Iowa, Louisiana, New York, Texas,
and Wisconsin. By the time this investigation was over, the charges
against the original suspects were dismissed and two new
individuals emerged from the shadows. Author John Ferak covered the
Stock murders from the very beginning, including all of the trial
proceedings. When the criminal prosecution finally ended in 2007,
he remained puzzled by one nagging question: Why was the blood of
victim Wayne Stock in a car that was ultimately proven to have no
connection to the murders? Over the next few years, the astonishing
"bloody lies" were revealed, culminating in a law enforcement
scandal that turned the case on its head and destroyed the career
of Nebraska's celebrated CSI director, David Kofoed.
