SEBRING: Dark Day: SunTrust Bank Murders The Quest for Justice

By John L. Guerra

Like everyone else in this true crime documentary, the people who have known Zephen Xaver since he was a child don't understand what led this angry time bomb to explode in Sebring, Florida. And explode he did, taking the lives of five innocent women in a matter of minutes. The victims were all living lives centered around family and their community. What Zephen Xaver did was rob these women of the rest of their lives. With a new pistol and 11 bullets, he destroyed families, broke the hearts of children, husbands, and parents, and created pain that reverberated through a city and a region. This book details the courageous work of the 911 operator who kept the killer on the line, the first officers on the scene, the crisis negotiator who helped bring a non-violent end to the standoff, and the Highlands County Sheriff's SWAT team's explosive entrance into the bank and tactical operation that led to Xaver's peaceful surrender. The reader won't be able to down put this book, which details the subsequent death penalty trial and the efforts of victim family members to regain their lives. It's the story of a Florida city that found the determination to bring the killer to justice.
