- even parents need a time out sometimes, especially from communications technology.

so why not spend one hour totally unplugged? read, talk, make art, or whatever. no batteries required. >> reporter: one month into his investigation of the murder of richard schoek, detective franklin was stuck in the weeds. >> i would sit down with my supervisor and i said, "look, i'm worried about this case." and he would tell me, just hang in there. that all it'll take is a very small piece of information to break this thing loose. >> reporter: and sure enough, what do you know, the detective got a phone call. >> uh, during the crime, when it happened, the car was missing. >> reporter: the caller was stacey's cousin, connie. she'd been troubled by something, she told the detective. >> it took me a good three week contemplating, you know, should i call, should i not? >> reporter: after all, stacey was like a big sister, said connie.

but there was just something wrong, like the strange business about her grandparents' 2009 impala. >> stacey was supposed to sell it for them because they were having problems and they needed money for medical bills. >> reporter: but after stacey took the car -- >> a couple weeks later, it'd be back at her house and then a couple weeks later it wasn't. then, it got to the point where she said that she sold it for $16,000. >> reporter: and yet, stacey never produced the money. >> the family was -- was persistent about this car. and so finally, we're like, "you know, it -- it's likely that it was used. we don't -- let's find this thing." >> reporter: so, they ran the vin number and found the car. stacey had sold it by then. >> lo and behold, it's got goodyear integrities on it. so at that point, i was confident that i'd found the car that richard was killed from. >> reporter: which was great, except who was in it? no idea. detective franklin was still stuck, so he took a long shot. >> reporter: he asked for something called a tower dump,

information dump that is, from this cell tower on a farm near the crime scene. >> i subpoenaed all calls that generated from the tower that services belton bridge park for the night of the murder from about 7:00 p.m. 'til about 9:30. >> reporter: until 9:30, because that's when stacey arrived and found richard. why start looking at 7:00 p.m.? >> it was apparent to me that the gunman lay in wait for richard. and so my way of thinking was if he's sitting there waiting in this secluded, dark place at night, is he going to sit there and twiddle his thumbs? or maybe he'll make a phone call, had no idea. >> reporter: if the killer called anyone, it should show up on the tower's record of outgoing cell calls. four major carriers on that tower, thousands of calls. but what numbers should he look for? why not play a hunch he'd had all along? >> stacey's involved somehow. you have this third vehicle at the scene. you have overkill with the -- with the way richard died. so, based on all those things, a

murder-for-hire starts crossing your mind. >> reporter: franklin's idea was to compare the numbers from the tower dump to the phone numbers on stacey's personal contact list. >> the best source of information i felt i had was stacey's contact list. it was 258 contacts, i think. >> so, if you could find any phone call coming from the crime scene that happened to be on her contact list, that would give you a big leg up. >> yes, sir. that would give me some direction. >> reporter: a lot of numbers to compare. but then he got lucky, really lucky, maybe a 150 numbers into his search, there it was. a match. >> it said, "reggie." >> reporter: the call was placed at 8:40 p.m. >> and it was a 28-second call. so, richard left the grandparents house at about 8:15. it's about a 15-minute drive from the grandparents' house to the park. >> would have got there around 8:30. >> he would have got there at 8:30. and we felt he was killed as soon as he stepped out of his truck. so, you're looking at him dying sometime right around 8:30 to 8:45. so, here's a call from reggie in

stacey's contact list at 8:40 p.m. on the night of the murder. >> reporter: but who was reggie? >> under reggie's company name it said, "mr. results." >> reporter: so, franklin's next step naturally -- >> i simply googled, "mr. results." and the first link was mr. results personal training. >> reporter: his name was reginald coleman, a personal trainer and former semi-professional boxer, and he held work out sessions at stacey's office. then, detective franklin looked at the number reggie called. >> i should have already recognized it because i already had it in my notes because it was lynitra ross. >> reporter: lynitra ross, the woman who claimed she received $10,000 from stacey for house repairs within three weeks of the murder. now the trail was warm, very warm. he pulled phone records for all three -- reggie, lynitra and stacey. combed through hundreds of calls and texts until -- >> a very interesting sequence of calls actually emerged from that. >> reporter: a sequence on

february 14th. it went like this -- at 6:42 p.m., reggie called lynitra. at 6:45, lynitra called stacey. at 6:48, lynitra called reggie back. >> in my mind, reggie called lynitra and said, "are we still doing this?" and lynitra called stacey and stacey confirming, "yes, he's here. i'll have him at the park." and then lynitra, calling reggie back saying, "yes, go up there." >> reporter: and after that, no more calls until 8:40 p.m., when reggie's call to lynitra was captured by the tower near the crime scene. >> the call at 8:40 p.m. to lynitra ross was reggie calling her saying, "it's done." >> reporter: and then, get this, at 9:00 p.m. lynitra sent stacey a text. "happy valentine's day," it said. >> is that a code? >> it was. >> reporter: code for it's done. he's dead. almost there.

all he needed was a money trail to prove murder-for-hire. so, bank records this time. >> it was the same tedious work as the cell phone records. >> reporter: and guess what? that $10,000 that stacey transferred to lynitra, supposedly a real estate account for home repairs? only $1,800 went into that. the rest went to lynitra for cash. and lynitra wrote reggie a check for $700. >> all within three weeks of the murder. that's the whole thing. it had come together at that point. reggie's my triggerman. my middle person is lynitra ross. >> reporter: and the mastermind? stacey. three months after the valentine's day murder of richard schoeck -- >> you're charged with malice murder. >> reporter: lynitra ross -- >> i read you that. make you aware the charges and it's malice murder. >> reporter: reggie coleman and stacey schoeck were arrested and charged with murder. but then? >> i told stacey, "we can fight this." >> reporter: a surprise was coming. check that. surprises, more than one. stacey had a story to tell.

coming up, is there ever an excuse for murder? >> having lived through that, i was never going to let it happen to my kids. the family favorite. yoplait. well at least he's wearing shoes. well done champ. get gooey, flaky, happy. toaster strudel.

>> reporter: three months after stacey schoeck found her husband's bullet-perforated body at belton bridge park, she and her alleged confederates were under arrest for murder. it was just crazy. didn't make sense. a mother of three, cub scout leader. surely she'd come up with a defense when she met with her attorney, max hirsh. but no, that's not what happened. far from it. >> she laid it all out. she didn't hesitate. she didn't minimize. she told me exactly what the plan was. >> reporter: the plan for murder. her lawyer, no surprise, had his own plan. >> i told stacey, "i already know how we would defend this case." she looked me straight in the eye, without hesitation, and said, "no, the gig is up. i did this. what i did was wrong. no more lies."

>> reporter: stacey wanted to confess. it took a while to arrange it, but seven months after the murder, with the recorder running, confess she did. >> i'm not going to keep lying. i'm done, i'm done, you know. >> reporter: it all started over lunch with lynitra, said stacey, when she told her friend she wished her husband was dead. and lynitra offered the services of her sometimes boyfriend, reggie. >> i was like, "reggie, really." and she said, "yeah, that's what he did. that's what he does. that's how he supplements his income, he does jobs." >> reporter: so, said stacey, lynitra arranged for the three of them to meet, and reggie agreed to kill richard. >> so, and then i was like, "well, how much cash?" he was like, "well, you know, i was thinking around $10,000." and i was like, "okay." >> reporter: that was the $10,000 stacey transferred to lynitra. she gave the money to reggie. stacey also agreed to give him

her grandparents' 2009 impala -- yes, that impala -- and the house lynitra was renting from her. a week later, all three went to scout the crime scene. >> he was like, "yeah, this is a perfect place." and he even made a comment that, you know, "i might have to use this place more often." >> reporter: but the night of the murder, said stacey, reggie botched the plan. >> it was supposed to be a robbery. that's what he had said. it was supposed to be one shot to the head. i said, "i don't want him to suffer, i don't want him to see anything." >> reporter: but why would she possibly want to have richard killed? to that question stacey offered this story. >> things started clicking in my brain of what was happening with my kids and my family, and i was convinced that my kids were being harmed. >> reporter: stacey said she believed richard was molesting

her sons. they were acting out, and there was something one of them told her. >> "you don't know what happens to -- he does to me when you're not here." that kind of, you know, that stuck in my brain for sure. >> reporter: to her, there was just one solution. >> i didn't want the police, i didn't want a divorce, i just wanted him dead. >> reporter: and so here it was, her reason for murder. stacey said she had been molested as a child, repeatedly, and she knew what it was like. >> having lived through that, i was never going to let it happen to my kids. >> did you ask the boys? >> not directly enough. not then. i have since. >> reporter: it was after her arrest, her sons asked her why? what would make you want to hurt him? and she explained. >> people touched me in a bad way when i was a kid, and i reacted in certain ways, and sometimes your behaviors made me

worry that you were getting touched in a bad way. >> reporter: and the son who made that earlier statement to his mother responded, devastated. >> he said, "no." he said, "i'm sorry i exaggerated, and i'm sorry that i said those things. i blew things out of proportion, mom," you know. >> reporter: stacey was wrong. there was no abuse. >> now, that's a hard thing to deal with, too, because now he has guilt. >> reporter: but was the motive she admitted real or was a more venal truth still withheld? there would be an answer, just not quite yet. we asked for an interview with stacey, but prison rules wouldn't allow it. so her attorney spoke on her behalf. >> she understands completely what she did. she understands it is her fault richard schoeck is dead. she doesn't have excuses. >> reporter: stacey schoeck pleaded guilty to murder. reggie coleman did the same. lynitra ross stood trial and was

found guilty. all were sentenced to life in prison without parole. the case solved. three convictions for the detective who pored through reams of phone numbers and sniffed out a murder for hire case. >> you know, when your gut tells you something, you should go with it. and if it makes sense, then that's probably what it is. >> reporter: pretty obvious if i ask you where this fits in your catalogue of cases. >> there'll be -- never be another one like it, i'm pretty sure. i hope not. >> reporter: and now finally, the last admission. a few days after stacey was sent away, richard's sister, carol, went to see her, glared at stacey through the glass partition. she didn't buy stacey's story about her reason for killing richard. >> i said, "okay, stacey, this is it. i want to know." and i said, "no bull, no lies, i wan to know why you had richard killed."

>> reporter: there was a long pause. and then out it came. >> she said, "because of my actions back then, and because of the way i was living my life, i knew that i couldn't divorce richard. because if i divorced richard, richard, because if i divorced richard, he would have enough of a chance to get custody of my kids, which he had adopted legally, and i couldn't let that happen. and i just looked at her, and i said, thank you, and i hung up the phone. >> reporter: but if the answer satisfied some need to know, the pain was and is no different. richard schoek is dead.

his quirkkeyness, adventurous spirit, devotion to those boy scouts, all gone. >> we had a thing, it was called a richard fire. if it wasn't spoked up and burning bright and the flames almost licking the tree tops, it wasn't a good fire. so if you want a richard fire, that's the fire you got to have. and when we're at scouting events and we see the big fire we built and the smoke coming up, we all talk about richard. >> reporter: that's all for now. i'm lester holt. thanks for joining us more americans watch nbc news than any other news organization in the world. next at 11:00, hillary clinton's historic address t plans she laid out as she accepted her party's presidential nomination. plus schools calling police on students. our investigation leads to security changes at nearly three dozen local schools. next. weapons..... nats of cheering..
