The 911 call captures the tense moments as the sisters hid in the back of their parents’ bedroom, whispering details to the dispatcher. The elder sister described the intruders as two men knocking on the back door, with one having long hair. The dispatcher calmly guided her, ensuring they had the correct information to dispatch officers promptly.
As the dispatcher kept the girls on the line, officers rushed to the scene. The brave sisters hid in a small bathroom cabinet, providing updates on the intruders’ location. The dispatcher urged them to remain quiet and assured them that help was on the way.
The tense situation took a turn when the suspects, identified as Brian Tomberlin and Carlos Murillo, attempted to flee. Tomberlin evaded arrest momentarily, speeding off in a maroon Ford Crown Victoria, only to abandon the car later. He was tracked down by a police dog and apprehended at a local library.
Inside Tomberlin’s car, authorities found stolen items, including a shotgun, musical instruments, a computer, jewelry, and cash. His accomplice, Carlos Murillo, was also arrested while attempting to flee the property on foot. Both men were charged with aggravated burglary and possession of burglary tools, with Tomberlin facing additional charges of felony evading arrest and driving on a revoked license.
