Estate of Crump. v. Estate of Hoover

Type of Case: Wrongful death

Court: Rockingham County Circuit Court

Attorneys: Donald D. Litten and Jason A. Botkins, Harrisonburg

Summary: Brewer E. Hoover Jr., an employee in the American HomePatient office in Harrisonburg, shot and killed two co-workers, Bonnie Sue H. Crump and Gary Allen Gibson. Hoover began acting in an erratic and bizarre manner in March 2006 and developed an infatuation with Crump and a false belief that she and Gibson were having an affair.

The attorneys for Crump’s estate contended that she and others had warned the company’s management of Hoover’s threatening and aggressive behavior, but the company did not respond to the complaints before he killed Crump and Gibson in May 2006.

The case and a companion suit filed on behalf of Gibson’s estate were settled by mediation after the trial.
