A dated chronology tracks the Wat Premkunaram temple killings near Phoenix from Aug 1991 discoveries through 1994 court actions. It lists suspects McGraw Parker Valdez Bruce Nunez Zarate Doody Garcia and Peterson, arrest warrants, trials, pleas, and civil claims, including Doody’s nine life terms and Garcia’s murder plea.
David and Brian Doody along with other teens stormed the Agua Fria temple on August 9 1991 dressed in battle dress uniforms and armed to loot cash cameras and a scanner. Doody testified he shot victims in the back of the head to leave no witnesses while Garcia spoke of lining up monks a 16 year old in training a temple helper and a 75 year old nun and ransacking the temple. The robbery netted about 2790. The case sparked controversy with later lawsuits against the county and sheriff's office.
