![]() Robby, who was planning to become a police officer himself, decided that he could not follow that path any longer and instead remained in Detroit, moving between jobs and haunted by his actions. The murders of both their father and Tommy Markin would have a profound impact on the Ressler brothers. Robby chose not to reveal the truth to Donnie and let him believe that Tommy had died of the gunshot wound. Enraged over his father's murder and to protect his brother, Robby impaled Tommy with his shovel, finishing him off and then buried Tommy's body in the grave that he had dug. Robby confronted Tommy over his father's murder who claimed that killing him wouldn't make them even and that Bob's murder was just business. However, Tommy had only been unconscious and not dead and he woke up as Robby dug the grave. Donnie called Robby for help and with all signs pointing to no one having heard or at least reported the gunshot, Robby sent Donnie home to wipe down and return the gun while he cleaned up the crime scene and took the body to Ray Field for burial. However, when Tommy taunted Donnie that he wasn't tough enough to pull the trigger, Donnie shot Tommy in the abdomen, apparently killing him. Drawing his father's gun, Donnie demanded the truth from Tommy who attempted to talk the young man down. With his brother Robby refusing to believe him and needing evidence, Donnie broke into Tommy's house, but was discovered in the middle of his search. Unknown to Tommy, Bob's troubled son Donald Ressler overheard the conversation and learned that Tommy had murdered his father. While Tommy was attending Bob's funeral, he headed outside to take a phone call in which he discussed Bob's murder and how they were in the clear. Tommy's superiors whitewashed the murder since they were also corrupt and did not want a trial. Tommy then delivered the news to Bob's family. As his partner died, Tommy lamented that he should have taken the money and promised to look after Bob's wife and children. As a result, Tommy set an ambush for his partner while they were hunting a drug dealer, allowing the man to shoot Bob in the back before calling in an officer down and killing the drug dealer.
