maybe we'll even get married one day. i wonder what i will be doing? probably still living here with mom and dad. fast reliable speeds right where you need them. that's wall-to-wall wifi on the xfinity 10g network. i didn't know anyone who wished anna any harm. >> i was completely baffled at how this could have happened! i didn't know anyone who wished anna any harm! nobody!

>> she was stunning. model-like. she had that personality, that happiness from within. men found anna, irresistible. >> i see her, my angel of light. >> i called her my muse. they wrote her poetry, gave her gifts. >> how much money did he give anna? >> $46,000. >> he some kind of sugar daddy? >> that's what it appears to be. >> she was found dead in her house. >> she's lying on the ground blood coming out of her mouth. >> who would do this to her? with so many men in her life, so many potential suspects. >> he knew an awful lot about her routines and who she dated. >> he is trying to get into her bank accounts her emails. >> he's a direct beneficiary of a large sum of cash, that's someone we're gonna look at. could this strange clue, reveal a killer? >> there was a locked drawer inside the drawer was a letter in russian. >> that letter gave you a window into what was really happening? >> right. >> we were confident he was gonna be our guy.

>> reporter: of all the places a beautiful, bright, young russian might end up -- frisco, texas might not make your list. but that's where anna kichatova went. and it was here she found what she was looking for: love and success, along with men and women who found her -- well, fascinating. >> i met anna after church one afternoon. i was delighted to meet someone who was more worldly and sophisticated than the run-of-the-mill suburban american you meet. >> we just had that connection. i cannot describe it in words.

i don"t think i have words to describe what i -- we felt. >> reporter: like a blossom to bees, the sweet-natured anna attracted a circle of admirers. >> safe to say you had a crush on her? >> you could probably say that, yeah, at some point. >> i don't think she ever had a problem. everybody loved her. >> reporter: well, maybe not everyone. so many people would soon become potential suspects -- when someone's love and admiration turned toxic and deadly. somewhere in that circle of fans, danger was waiting. but if anna saw it coming, she kept it to herself. >> and so she'd listened to your really deepest secrets but she wouldn't-- >> she did. >> give you any of her own. >> no. >> reporter: her friend donna was able to glean a little about anna's exotic past. >> i knew that she was ethnically russian but born in kazakhstan, and i knew that at some point the family had moved to st. petersburg.

where she, i believe, got a degree in economics at the university. i knew she married when she was fairly young and had her son igor. >> reporter: the marriage didn't last long -- and the husband dropped out of the picture so there was anna, in her late 20's, with a little boy to support. she wanted a better life. and she made her move when she met an american tourist named bob moses, who'd been invited to visit her english class. he was 19 years older. >> she seemed real nice, real friendly. and had a great smile. and so i just said, you know, "would you like to have lunch?" >> reporter: the answer was yes. lunch turned to dinner -- one thing led to another -- >> after i left, we communicated. we emailed. before finally, you know, said, "hey, i'd like you to come over. you know, and you know, possibly we have, you know, relationship here together." >> reporter: it was october, 1998. >> she came without her son. she told me she wanted to kinda, you know, check things out before she brought her son over here.

so she was here. and you know, we got married in december of that year. >> reporter: two months later, igor came to united states --and suddenly bob had a family. the one-time bachelor was smitten with his young wife and his new four-year- old son. >> little boy. you know-- you know, runnin' around, have fun, you know, he was fantastic. >> reporter: bob formally adopted igor. >> he was my son. you know, i-- you know, i wouldn't consider him anything else. >> reporter: and he meant it. in 2002 fate dealt the family a sucker punch when igor suffered what could have been a catastropic health crisis: cancer. but with bob's help he pulled through. >> i care about that child. so ah --we did everything possible. >> reporter: they recovered from the setback with igor and life picked up in frisco -- an ambitious little city outside of dallas. bob worked in sales, anna landed

a job as a data analyst at the university of texas/dallas. where she met jayshree bihari. >> she came and she met with me and we clicked instantly. >> what made you guys click like that? >> i was new, so she came over and told me about who all are there in the office and took me around. you know, we met people and we went out for lunch. so it was really nice of her to make me feel very comfortable. >> reporter: anna clicked with a lot of people. like john wiorkowski -- a professor at the university, who worked just upstairs from anna. >> she wanted to learn about quantitative methods - that's my specialty - so it just sort of hit, you know. good, good buddies. >> reporter: anna was big on self-improvement. she was taking a course in public speaking when she met jerry caspell, and he joined her crowd of admirers. >> we used to kinda tease each other. i said, "you used to be my enemy. you were from a communist country." and she thought that was pretty

funny. >> reporter: in donna ross, anna found a kindred spirit. once a professional ballet dancer -- donna now teaches dance in frisco. >> she was very passionate about some of the same things i was passionate about. >> we went to the dallas symphony, we went to the dallas opera, we went to texas ballet theater. >> reporter: as anna's world got bigger -- her life with bob began to wither. the marriage that had survived a child's illness faltered over time and anna surprised everyone when she asked bob for a divorce in 2012. for igor's sake they parted as friends. and anna was again on the lookout for a nice guy. which brings us to michael stodnick. >> michael is a very attractive, very intelligent, soft-spoken young man, about anna's age. he is a professor at the

university of dallas. >> reporter: and anna's new man. good looking, age appropriate, a mild-mannered business professor. so with a nice new boyfriend and a good job, anna moses was once again moving on up, until the day in january of 2015 -- when she didn't show for work. michael said he couldn't get in touch with her, so he contacted police. they went to check on her. >> and so when you get a welfare check call, what do you normally expect to find? >> usually go to the house and find, you know, somebody there who didn't wanna talk to the person who's trying to find them, or you know, they've gone somewhere and just not told somebody. >> but this was different. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: what was going on with anna? police were about to uncover a troubling clue. >> that's when we notice some shell casings in the garage. >> reporter: one alarming discovery, and, just feet away, another:

>> i observed her lyin' on her back. i saw what appeared to be a bullet hole in her scarf. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv? make it arexvy.

so you can rise from pain. icy hot. it was late morning, january 14, 2015, so you can rise from pain. when anna moses' neighbor, david stafford, thought he spotted trouble across the street >> reporter: p it was late morning whether anna moses' neighbor thought he spotted trouble across the street at anna's house. >> police were knocking on the door. i came out and asked what was going on. and they said they were following up on a well check. >> reporter: anna's boyfriend was worried. and her colleagues were saying she hadn't shown up for work. the sergeant was one of the officers checking the home.

>> no signs of forced entry anywhere. >> reporter: which means you don't have any excuse to go inside. >> correct. >> reporter: the doors were locked. so he asked them to find her 20-year-old son. igor was then a student living at the university where his mother worked. >> i didn't talk to the son. he sat in the car. >> reporter: that's where igor waited while police went into his mom's house. a member of sergeant rheem's team was wearing a body camera. >> the first thing we wanted to see is if the car is there. as you walk in, two of my guys went in the garage, looked. said hey, there's no car. >> reporter: but then they looked down. and what they saw was beyond bad. anna moses, whose sunny presence had touched so many lives was

lying dead on the garage floor. >> i was standing in the laundry room, i'm like, is she deceased? and they're like, yes, she is. >> trauma? >> blood at the mouth. >> so we did a quick protective sweep of the house to make sure nobody else was inside. and we locked the door. that way we kept the scene pristine for the investigators to arrive. >> reporter: investigators were there within minutes. one of those, ruben mankin of the texas rangers. >> i made a beeline for the laundry room. >> reporter: clean looking like it didn't look like she'd interrupted a laundry. >> that's correct. >> reporter: another's no drawers pulled open? >> right. >> reporter: on the floor of the garage was anna's purse, which still held $300. and nothing else seemed to be missing, except anna's car.

ranger mankin surveyed the scene with the lead detective. >> that's when we noticed some shell casings in the garage. just multiple shell casings. >> reporter: the casings easily identified the murder weapon as a .22. and a careful look at anna's body told them a little more. >> i observed her to be lying on her back. she was heavily clothed, still wearing, you know, her jacket and a couple scarves. i saw what appeared to be a bullet hole in her scarf that was wrapped around her neck. and that's when i observed the hole in her neck. >> reporter: so she was killed presumably by somebody who got into the house and waited for her in the garage? >> possibly. or she opens the garage door, pulls in, and somebody runs in there, shoots and kills her and takes the car. >> reporter: so an alert goes out for the car, right? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: there were so many scenarios under consideration.

this didn't feel like a burglary or a carjacking. the medical examiner outlined anna's cause of death. >> he was able to document she'd been shot six times. >> reporter: they found a seventh bullet that hadn't penetrated. it fell onto the examining table. the bullet wounds were close together. someone had shot her in the chest and then in the back. so this was probably somebody not too far away from her. >> correct. >> reporter: fired a bunch of times. >> correct. >> reporter: the trajectory of the bullet suggested anna had gotten out of her car, perhaps seen her assailant and started to turn away. >> she doesn't go down with those three rounds. that's where you have the following barrage of bullets on her back that are square in her back. >> so, like if we startle you and the door's right there and you go to turn to run to that

door you're going to catch it left to right. >> reporter: there was something else, and it was at the very least odd. anna may have been shot seven times, but police found 11 shell casings at the scene and no sign of the other four bullets. >> reporter: did crime scene find the other slugs in the wall or the floor or anywhere? >> no. >> reporter: that's kind of odd, right? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: so now detectives turn their attention to the circle of people who knew and loved anna moses. among them could be a clue. perhaps even a suspect. and detectives would begin with the person she loved the most. coming up. police tell anna's son igor about his mother's murder. and his response is strange. >> is she in one piece? >> reporter: is she in one piece? have you ever heard anybody respond like that? >> never. >> igor being the direct

beneficiary of a large sum of cash, yes, that's someone we're going to look at. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. k at >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt. rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective in those with these health conditions. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems

the bullet-riddled body of 43-year-old anna moses had been found in her garage in a suburb of dallas. >> reporter: the bullet-riddled body of 43-year-old anna moses had been found in her garage in a suburb of dallas. now sergeant rheem had the difficult task of breaking the news to her only child. >> we needed to notify the son. >> reporter: he's right there at the curb. >> he's at the curb. so we couldn't not tell him anything. >> reporter: after helping police get into the house, 20-year-old igor moses was waiting outside, sitting in a car. >> what's your name? >> igor. >> igor? i'm jay. >> reporter: sergeant rheem's body cam was switched on but, as you can see, wasn't framed properly. his words however were direct and to the point. >> there's really no easy way to tell you what's going on.

>> okay. >> your mom is deceased. >> mm-hm. >> okay. so right now we've got to do a lot of things to try to figure out how, why, what's going on. >> reporter: you've done that kind of notification before. >> yeah. >> reporter: and they're not pleasant. >> worst thing to do. >> reporter: was their one different? >> it was different in the response that i received. >> reporter: in fact, there was basically no response, according to rheem. just a blank stare. did he cry? was he emotional? >> not at all. >> reporter: their conversation, if that's what this was, continued. >> is your mom's car usually here? >> yeah. is it not here? >> no. >> reporter: that's when igor asked a question that seemed to come totally out of left field. >> is she in one piece? >> yeah, i mean, i don't know exactly, and that's what we've got to figure out.

>> is she in one piece? have you ever heard anybody respond like that? >> never. >> to a death notification. >> never. >> reporter: but it wouldn't be the only response that left sgt. reim scratching his head. >> so i'll let you talk to a detective and and we'll go from there, if you're good with that. >> i do have class even though i know that's kind of insignificant at the moment. >> ok. yeah, i think -- i think you can get an excuse for that. >> igor never made it to class that night. instead, he was brought here to the frisco police department for a formal interview. investigators had already been briefed about his odd reaction to the news of his mother's death. later, he'd tell her friends he didn't want to have a funeral for her. and also this -- that whoever had killed anna moses, should be forgiven. >> reporter: igor said he was in class the night his mom was murdered. but after interviewing him for five hours, investigators were still wondering about his unusual reaction. especially when they learned that right after the interview, that very same night, igor was in the gym playing a game called wally-ball with friends. by no

means did he seem to be grieving. >> just kinda added to us needin' to dig a little bit deeper and find out, you know, what was goin' on. >> this is, what, hours after his mother's been found dead? >> that's correct. >> reporter: and when detectives did dig deeper, they discovered what could be a motive. anna had a $750,000 life insurance policy, with just a single beneficiary. igor. >> he's a person of interest. igor being the direct beneficiary of a large sum of cash, yes, that's someone we're gonna look at. >> reporter: not long after anna's body was found, her friend, donna, read the awful news on facebook from a posting by another friend. >> that had to be terribly shocking to hear that she'd been killed. >> completely. completely because i didn't know anyone who wished anna any harm! nobody! i just -- i couldn't imagine it!

who didn't love anna? >> and who'd hate her? >> exactly. >> reporter: donna said she could not picture igor as the killer. >> never, never, never. i just know igor is not capable of murder. >> reporter: and another friend, jayshree bihari, remembered how close anna and igor always were. >> she just adored him. her son was like the center of her life. >> what did she tell you about her son? >> you know, she just said that, "i want him to pursue his passion, which is in music. and she would always go to his concerts. >> reporter: igor played guitar in a christian rock band, combining two big interests music and religion. he was studying speech pathology at the ut-dallas, the same school where his mother worked. >> she used to even wash his clothes on weekends and when he was at the dorm.

>> he's in college and she's still doin' his laundry. >> yes. she will take all his clothes, wash them, iron them. get him some food, homemade food and stuff like that. >> reporter: the last time donna saw anna, anna couldn't contain her excitement about travel plans she'd made with igor. >> she was telling me about her wealthy aunt giving her money so she and igor could go on vacation, and she was really looking forward to that. >> reporter: but as much as anna's friends believed in igor, they still weren't sure what to make of some of his statements. >> he said that whoever had done this should be forgiven. >> we all noticed it and thought it was unusual. but igor in the last year had become fanatically religious. >> reporter: day one of the investigation, and igor was just the first of the men in anna's life police wanted to talk to.

the list would be long. and on it would be some names that would qualify as secret admirers, relationships anna moses had never shared with even her closest friends. >> we cast a broad net. >> reporter: including, her ex-husband. >> clearly, he's gonna be at the top of the list of people you wanna interview? >> correct. >> reporter: coming up -- detectives talk to bob moses and leave with more questions than answers. >> i did not think this was gonna be easy to solve. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. when you can...g you get du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks.

both were en route to coming back home. she was also captured on a camera in this neighborhood, and that was at 5:49 p.m. >> reporter: so if you believe that she was killed pretty much right after she got out of letter car, then around 6:00 seems a plausible time? >> that's correct. >> reporter: while the forensics were being collected, an old-fashioned shoe leather investigation was under way. cops were looking hard at the man in anna's life. starting with her official boyfriend, michael stodnick, who had a date with anna the night she was killed and reported her missing. detectives invited stodnick downtown and grilled him about his whereabouts the night of anna's death. and the boyfriend's alibi is, i was there at the scene of the murder. i just couldn't get in, and i didn't know she was there? >> right, right, well, yes. >> he said he was at grapevine elementary getting his

daughter's grades. >> reporter: stodnick answered all their questions, but a couple things left the cops wondering. during the interrogation he asked if he should get a lawyer. and then later he did. anna's son igor talks to you freely, doesn't lyre an attorney. her ex-husband, bob, talks to you. doesn't hire an attorney her boyfriend, however, does. that make you sit up and take notice? >> it does raise the question on should i get an attorney. about the time we started asking for dna. >> reporter: stodnick did eventually provide a dna sample. but that didn't put questions about him to rest. because whether the cops left the interrogation room, anna's boyfriend had a private and animated conversation with himself. >> i have no idea. did i [ bleep ]. am i overreacting?

>> reporter: strange, if not down right suspicious. it definitely didn't help his standing on the cops' hit parade of suspects. anna's dear friends, still shell-shocked from the news of her death were drawn into the investigation. what did you know about this guy she was going out with, michael? >> when she started going out with him, she called me to say hey, you know, i found somebody who i'm seeing. i said oh, that's very nice. i'm so happy for you. >> reporter: did she tell you anything else about him? >> no, she just said that he seems to be like a nice person, and i'm happy. >> reporter: she had never met anna's boyfriend michael. and most of anna's other friends didn't know her ex-husband, bob. retired ballerina, donna ross, who had danced with the ballet in new york was won of the few who knew both men. she found bob lacking in the social graces. someone who had always

recognized the audience he was playing to. >> i hung out with the movers and shakers. the glitterati of manhattan. and for someone to relate to me as though i were somebody in a little, small provincial town in texas, it was pretty insulting. >> reporter: here you were sort of being looked down on? >> yes, he said, well, as he pulled up his bermuda shorts, if you'd ever been to new york city, you'd know about the subway. that was one of the -- >> reporter: wrong thing to say. >> bob did not feel good unless he was putting someone else down and trying to elevate himself. >> reporter: tell me about michael. >> well, michael is very low-key. very kind. very sensitive. >> reporter: sounds like you approved of michael a lot more than bob.

>> oh, absolutely, yes. i mean, michael is 20 years younger than bob. much more handsome. much more intelligent, much more successful. much more accomplished, and much wealthier. what's not to like? >> reporter: and yet, anna and michael did not get along perfectly, did they? >> oh, no. there was lots of squabbling. >> reporter: it was dawning on anna's friends how little they really knew about their enigmatic russian woman. today she treasures the gifts anna gave her, like this famous russian nesting doll. but she also wonders. explain to me how you were among her closest friends. >> mm-hm. >> reporter: i mean, you called her your soul sister. >> i did, and she was. >> reporter: and yet there was so much of her life that she didn't tell you anything about.

>> yes. >> reporter: she never told you. >> no, no. she was very good at dodging things. >> reporter: that was dawning on investigators, too. when did it become clear to you that anna moses had parts of her life that she wasn't sharing with anybody else? >> i think through the interview process with friends, family, and the people that knew her. it seemed like she had her life compartmentalized, and that certain types of people she would let into this section of her life and other types of people she would let closer and give them more detail. >> reporter: as the friends and cops continued to pull back the layers of her love life, she was starting to resemble a real life russian doll, beautiful, intricate, and with a lot unseen. and, detectives were just beginning to tally anna's legion of admirers around the greater dallas area. coming up, one of those

admirers, a poet, who insisted he was just good friends with anna. generally, when men describe a woman as their muse, and they're writing poems about them, there's more going on there than just poetry. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. poetry. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. from the first ever triple action sleep supplement, to daily digestive support, to more wellness solutions every day. get more with nature's bounty. what is cirkul? cirkul is the fuel you need to take flight. cirkul is the energy that gets you to the next level. cirkul is what you hope for when life tosses lemons your way. cirkul, available at walmart and drinkcirkul.com.

winks. postings by men who'd admired her photo. and it wasn't just cyber space keeping cops busy. lovely anna had plenty of flesh and blood admirers, including jerry, who'd met her years earlier. >> we met at toast masters. >> reporter: which is a speaking club? >> for public speaking and leadership, and she was working on her english, of course. and i kind of tried to help her. >> reporter: it sounds as if there was very quickly a connection between the two of you? >> yeah, we got to be pretty close friends. she asked me for example to help her with her resume. >> you said keep writing, don't forget. >> reporter: jerry, who is married and works for a medical equipment company is also a poet and songwriter. he says anna encouraged his writing and eventually helped edit a collection of his poems.

>> she always raved about poetry. and she said, i can be your muse. and that's what struck me. yeah, you can be my muse. >> reporter: what guy wouldn't want a muse? particularly an attractive russian one? >> sure. so i called her my muse. she thought that was great. >> reporter: maybe i'm very cynical here. but i do work for "dateline." >> yeah. >> generally, when men describe a woman as their muse, and they're writing poems to her or for her or about her. there's more going on there than just poetry, or at least the man hopes there is. >> yeah. well, there wasn't. it was a deep, deep friendship. i loved her like i would love a sister. >> i'm gonna read you an excerpt of a poem you wrote. "a soft touch to heal my sad soul when it aches. whispered words soothing my heart when it breaks." that's the kind of poem that guys write about their girlfriends.

>> yes, maybe it is. uh, she inspired me to write things like that. >> reporter: anna may have been merely jerry's muse, but she was careful to conceal their relationship from her husband, bob while they were still married. >> she made sure i wasn't there if he was coming over or something like that. >> sounds like she was trying to avoid the two of you meeting. >> yeah, that's what it seemed like, and i was fine with that. >> could a reasonable person, an investigator, look at the e-mails and texts between the two of you and conclude that maybe there was -- >> sure. >> something extracurricular going on? >> sure, i got it. >> reporter: investigators were in the midst of their own musings about that relationship, and had some questions for jerry, like whether he had any guns. the poet told them he owned a .22 for target shooting, the came caliber as the weapon that killed anna.

and jerry says he was learning things as well. >> i met some of her friends as they were preparing for the memorial, they started talking about her boyfriend. and i said, "i don't know about any boyfriend." so that was quite, quite odd. >> she -- she'd never mentioned michael to you -- >> i never, ever, knew about him until the memorial. >> reporter: and now there was someone else on the cops' radar. remember that neighbor, david stafford, who noticed the police activity outside her house? he was extraordinarily helpful in providing details about anna's love life to detectives. >> i would see one guy. he was around you know for a while and then all of sudden i would see a -- another guy maybe three, four, five months later. um, and then, um, she started dating a third guy. >> reporter: the curious neighbor explained to us how he

knew so much about anna's private life. >> you know by sitting here i can see you know everything that went on across the street. and cars driving by and -- and stuff like that. >> reporter: but, he told us he wasn't that interested in the pretty russian divorcee whose dating life he so carefully chronicled. not his type, he said. >> i had never asked her out, no. i mean, she's from a foreign county. she was russian. and her english was with a very heavy accent. and i'm just not attracted to any woman like that. >> reporter: after anna's body was found he had visitors. >> ranger mankin and i went over to mr. stafford's house and uh sat down and talked with him. >> reporter: the neighbor told them he was on a long conference call in his home office at the time anna was killed. >> did he fill in any gaps on the timeline? did he hear any gunshots? >> not really. he didn't hear any gunshots. >> that neighbor seemed to know

quite a bit about her. >> yes, he did. and we -- we made note of that, that he knew an awful lot about her routines, as far as who she was dating, who she had dated. >> reporter: tschudy and mankin invited the neighbor downtown for a longer conversation. at the station, david stafford added his dna sample to the investigators' growing collection. coming up. what could you tell about their relationship? yet another person of interest. he was a friend with benefits. >> reporter: he admits they dated briefly. >> right. >> reporter: i'm not sure what dated means, but is he some kind of sugar daddy? >> that's what it appears to be. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. t appears to be. >> reporter: when "dateline" continues. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using.

full of men who seemed to deserve a second look. there was her son, igor, who stood to collect $750,000 in life insurance. her ex-husband husband, bob, divorced but still in the picture. her soulmate, jerry the poet, who called anna his muse. her boyfriend michael, who admitted he went by anna's home the night of the murder. and that attentive neighbor david, who kept curiously close tabs on anna. but wait. there's more. her colleagues pointed detectives toward another special friend of anna's. toward another special friend of on us. >> a coworker indicated she had a close relationship with the vice provost at uc dallas. >> i knew her for about six

years and four years ago what she was doing coincided with something i was doing so we worked together more. that is how we became friends. >> before long, on the and the married professor were spending together outside of work. as the professor told it, they became closer in 2012 when her marriage had a rough patch. the two met most mornings for tea and sympathy. >> i would come down around 10:00 in the morning to see how she was doing and we would talk about music and a lot of time she was trying to improve her english. >> he would visit her twice a day while she was at work. >> would your wives be okay with that kind of mentor ship. >> probably not. >> while anna was still married

to bob the relationship evolved into a romance. the professor said he ended the fling after he concluded the 30 year age difference was too much and they went back to just being friends. clearly for anna, this was a friendship with a benefit for her, one more fiscal then physical, the professor was generous with his time and money even after the romance was supposedly over. >> how much money did he give to anna? >> $46,000. >> a man is going to give 46,002 a woman but there is nothing going on between them? >> i think he enjoys seeing the happiness it brings to people's lives. >> and i use some of the money

to bring her mother from russia for a visit and the cash kept flowing, the professor gave her another 6000 days before her murder. almost all of this like so much in her life, stayed on the down low, at least with her friends. >> what can you tell us about in his relationship with john? during the investigation it came out they dated for a while. >> really? >> surprising. i did not know that. >> there were secret relationship known apparently only to her and maybe one other person. it is like there were two or four and us. >> i see where she is coming from. i know our cultures are like that and people do not sure things. >> the professor explained anna was essentially his personal charity.

the cops wondered about his motives. >> when a man is interested in a woman and bankrolls her and nothing happens like she says you are too old, that can make some guys angry. >> absolutely we needed to keep digging. >> the professor admits they dated briefly but is he some kind of sugar daddy? >> that is what it appears to be. he is giving her money and maybe hopes at some point she would gain interest in him. >> when they burrowed deeper into her finances, investigators found 111,000 in her bank accounts. money cops thought her university job could not have provided. the professor's generosity accounted for less than half of that so all of that money

begged a lot of questions. >> was somebody else giving her money? >> i have no idea, this is new to me. if she asked me i would have given her money. >> the unaccounted for cash is another piece in a puzzle that featured more characters than a hollywood caper. >> this is a good whodunit case. we had to rely on the investigation and the crime scene and the evidence to point us to who did it. >> coming up, where would the evidence lead? the answers would surprise even on his closest friends. >> there was all kinds of things in her life she did not tell anybody about? >> she did not. th arexvy. >> when dateline continues. tel respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60,

case with no witnesses, you start looking at the people closest to her. boyfriends, friends, anybody who has had relations with her. >> so in a unusual move walker decided to preempt the defense and call those men as her own witnesses, she began with anna's boyfriend michael who said he was intrigued by anna the day they met. >> she was a amazing woman, intelligent, well spoken, kind, and i wanted to get to know her right away. >> the prosecutors showed michael a photo of honor. she asked him straight out, that you kill anna? she asked the same of the others. the neighbor across the street. the poet.

six bullets found their mark. he then spread for other shell casings on the floor, took on us car, parked it blocks away and tossed in a cigarette butt and a can of red bull. >> in a weird way you ended up with too much evidence, there is all of this stuff there at the scene of the murder and then later in the car. >> it made it feel more like it was decided to throw off the investigation and put something else out there to say it could be somebody else. >> cynthia said it was not somebody else, she told the jury that bob have been nursing a long murderous rage that bubbled to the surface on january 13th 2015 and that anna may have seen it coming. the evidence came from one of on this russian friends. she dispelled the notion that bob and anna's relationship had

been amicable and told the jury about a harrowing night two years before the murder. >> in the winter or december 2012 that you receive a phone call from anna? >> they were still married, anna said she had locked herself in the bedroom. >> was she upset and crying? >> yes. she said can i come to your house? i am afraid he will kill me tonight. >> so far the case was circumstantial but the state was about to present evidence that pointed to bob moses and only bob moses. when investigators first interviewed bob they saw something. >> he had a bandage covering a wound on his right hand. >> investigators remembered the bandage when they saw the bloodstains inside of on us

car. >> i observed a crimson stain on the seat back of her car. >> bloodstains on the right side of the driver seat and a wound on bob's right hand. when this dna analyst testified, the prosecution thought it was game set and match. she told the jury the stains were a mixture of dna, anna's of course, it was her car but the other person, he was sitting at the defense table. >> that mister profile was one .2 million times more likely if it came from robert and anna moses that if it came from to unrelated individuals. >> translation, it was bob moses blood and he had no explanation for it.

>> is there any reason why your blood would be in her car? >> not that i could think of. >> the prosecutor that told the jury that what pushed bob over the edge for some of the oldest reasons in the book of murder, not just money but jealousy and envy. >> she lives in a nice house and she is seeing a wonderful man and here you have bob moses who is in debt, living in a house with other men in a small bedroom. who benefited from her death? >> after the murder the defendant moved into her house going to her finances, trying to get into her bank accounts, for emails, trying to determine what her finances are. >> the evidence points beyond a reasonable doubt to the killer looking at us right now. >> now the defense was ready to

pounce, to rneys, both former prosecutors were about to try to rip the state's case to shreds and they would ask the jury to consider this question, who ate the quesadilla? >> coming up the defense brought to you by taco bell, bob's attorneys say a fast food wrapper at the scene calls into question the prosecution timeline. >> if she ate the quesadillas she is killed a couple of hours later and if it happened a couple of hours later than bob moses is sitting at twin peaks on video. >> when dateline continues. lin (both lukes) homes-dot-com. we've done your home work.

cops concluded this was not a robbery but the credit card on a used at taco bell was not in her purse. >> point to me where you indicated anna moses had a missing credit card. give me a page where that is mentioned. >> i do not have it. >> her credit card was missing from the purse and there was nobody that knew that in the entire investigative team until they were asked. >> it was shoddy police work he told the jury as was the theory that all of the unexplained evidence was planted by bob to throw off the cops. >> what do you make of the extra bullet casings at the crime scene? >> they never sent detectives across the street to see if

projectiles struck a fence or car or a house. the shooting could have happened while the door was open but they admitted they never bothered to look. >> that can of red bull? police said it was a red herring but the defense said it was another clue with no follow- up. >> they tested it for dna and it comes back to a i and identified mill, not bob moses or any of the other suspects and certainly not anna moses. >> the argued the dna could lead investigators to a new suspect but they said police focused only on on is ask. >> they had classic tunnel vision, bob moses was a suspect after the first day and anything else that came up, they did not pay attention to it. >> the also tried to knock down the testimony of the friend who said anna was afraid of bob.

bob's lawyers pointed out that call was two years before the murder and after the divorce and and bob remained on good terms. >> bob is still going to the house and fixing things and picking up things. and it was that telling you that she was afraid of him was she? >> no. >> then the defense tried to blow up the timeline. saying the video was hardly definitive. >> make, model, color? any information? >> no. >> maybe that was not anna driving by the camera just before 6:00. the defense reminded the jury of the last proven stop and i

made that day when she pulled up to the taco bell drive- through at 5:37 pm and they asked, who ate the quesadilla? >> just the package is found, she or the killer ate it. >> the defense called their own forensic expert. >> it is my opinion if she ate the quesadilla 10 minutes prior to dying i would still see chicken and other identifiable parts in her stomach. >> there was no mexican food in in his stomach. >> if she ate the quesadillas she would've had to have been killed a couple of hours later at a minimum. >> if the timeline is off, bob moses is in the clear. >> if it happens two hours later bob moses is sitting in twin peaks on video. we know where he is a we are

not sure were all of the other people are. >> if the timeline is wrong, the alibis of all of the other potential suspects fall apart. the telltale quesadilla was never found, if the killer ate it, presumably his or her dna would be all over the wrapper. >> you could have skin cell dna on that were fingerprints. >> he asked the lead detective about that. >> you did not submit the taco bell trash for touched dna or latent prints right? >> correct. >> the defense portrayed bob as the victim of half-baked police work that there was another victim the jury was about to hear from, somebody who not only lost his mother but could now lose his father. the defense called their star witness to the stand. igor told the jury how he felt

>> the prosecutors did not want jurors to lose sight of why they were there, so she major a photo of anna was all that was on display. now it was up to those six men and women to decide, if bob moses stalked and shot his ex- wife in her garage that night. they deliberated for eight hours the first day and went home for the night. the next day after their morning coffee they told the judge they were ready. >> i understand the jury has reached a verdict, is that correct? >> bailiff, rise. >> we the jury find the defendant guilty of murder. >> bob moses got life in prison. in the back of the courtroom, and his friends thanked prosecutors and police.
