A reporter from the Omaha World-Herald may have been one of the last persons to speak with Thomas Tomich hours before he committed suicide.
Reporter Kevin Cole visited Tomich's home in West Omaha Wednesday. A story published on Omaha.com describes in detail Cole's encounter with Tomich, who was publicly revealed Thursday to be the prime suspect in his ex-wife's disappearance and murder in 1983.
Lois Tomich's body was found in a barrel in May, but her identity was not made known until Wednesday.
A story in Thursday morning's edition of the World-Herald said Thomas Tomich, when contacted Wednesday night, declined comment.
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Pottawattamie County investigators said they, too, contacted Thomas Tomich at his West Omaha home Wednesday afternoon. They said he acted nervous, was reluctant to answer questions and asked for an attorney. Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber said investigators were in the process of obtaining a first-degree murder warrant for Thomas Tomich's arrest.

Gee if I ever did something really wrong; the first people I'd welcome in my home is a investgative reporter. Wake up OWH you idiots, how was he supposed to acxt. Heck, I'd probably punch the reporter in the nose if I asked them to leave once and they came back. That is one reason why America hates the media - well Shawn is an exception.
vent done....

Read it Mr. Brain dead. Let the police do the investigation not the Media. Get a clue idiot.
I find it stupid - "Hi Sir/Maam, I am the media , I am at you door to see if you want to make any statements about the murder you are being investigated about"?????
Let the authorities handle it.

I see your point mTm. Most of the media are idiots but maybe they will get a story, so they have to try.

Matt X you are "stuck on stupid"!
Now it is political? Get a clue you little girl. First Amendment violation? ? - ha ha ha - Call the ACLU and cry to them.
Yeah, look at the media with Katrina - toxic water - people shooting each other in the Super dome - The Gov't caused Katrina.
Yeah, the wonderful Media.
Be careful - - - the black helicopters may be overhead.
I pity you Matt X.
Matt X -
What is your emotional attachment to this case???? You are going "psycho" on this.
Get a grip & get an appointment with your head doctor.

Matt X,
Your intelligent superior rebuttal was referring to my thoughts as "moronic" which in turn was referring to me as a "moron". That was truly a civalized and educated as you'd put it?
When you get a clue and a reality check. Come on back.
It is clear Mr. Matt X you are simply a transparent, self-believing elitest SF liberal wanna-be that has to hide behind a computer to attack others whom opinions are different that yours. It is clear that there is not a manly bone in your body.
your friend,
mTm
I noticed that the world-herald conveniently left out the part about their reporter pestering Tomich in the story in Sunday's paper.
