On May 12, 2017, Tom DiSario was leaving a Bible study when he heard a report of “shots fired” on the radio and instantly knew that his son, Kirkersville Police Chief Steven Eric DiSario, had been murdered.
On that day, 43-year-old Thomas Hartless went to the Pine Kirk Care Center in Kirkersville, Ohio, where he took several hostages, including nurse Marlina Medrano, whom he had a relationship with, and nurse aide Cindy Krantz. He allegedly had two other hostages who were able to run when Hartless shot DiSario, the Newark Advocate reported at the time.
