OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former doctor accused of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school will have a preliminary hearing Thursday on a separate charge of attempted burglary.

Prosecutors say forensic evidence links Anthony Garcia to an attempted break-in in May 2013 at the home of a Creighton University Medical School professor.

Garcia, of Terre Haute, Indiana, is also charged with first-degree murder for the 2008 deaths of the 11-year-old son of Creighton University pathologist William Hunter and the family’s housekeeper, as well as the May 2013 deaths of Creighton pathologist Roger Brumback and his wife.

Authorities say Garcia was motivated by revenge for being fired from Creighton’s pathology department in 2001. He has pleaded not guilty.
