Case 022: Brian Stidham
•
Cabin 13
October 5, 2004. The darkened parking lot of the North First Avenue Medical Complex was made bright again by spotlights. The Tucson Police Department was there to respond to reports of a man down.
The man was Dr. Brian Stidham, a respected pediatric ophthalmologist. Though initially considered to be a victim of a carjacking gone wrong, the investigation soon narrowed to one prime suspect: Dr. Brad Schwartz.
Why would one doctor want to kill the other?
This is a story of obsession, revenge, and cold-blooded murder.
