her? >> $46,000. >> is he some kind of sugar daddy? >> that's what it appeared to be. >> she was found in her house. >> she was lying on the ground, blood coming out of her mouth. >> who would do this to her? >> with so many men in her life, there were many potential suspects. >> he was trying to get into her bank account, e-mails. >> he's the direct beneficiary of a large sum of cash. >> reporter: could this strange clue reveal a killer? >> there was a locked drawer and there was a letter in russian. >> that letter gave you a window in what was happening? >> right. >> we were confident this was going to be our guy. >> of all of the places a beautiful, bright young russian might end up, frisco, texas, might not make your list. but that's where ana 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 ana 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 discussion. i cannot describe it in words. i don't think i have words to describe what we felt. >> narrator: like a blossom to bees, the sweet-natured ana 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. >> narrator: 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 ana saw it coming she kept it to herself. >> and so she would listen to your really deepest secrets. >> she did. >> but she wouldn't give you any of her own? >> no. >> narrator: her friend donna was able to glean a little about ana'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. >> narrator: the marriage didn't last long and the husband dropped out of the picture, so there was ana in her late 20s 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 had been invited to visit

her english class. he was 19 years older. >> he was real nice, friendly, had a great smile. i just said, "would you like to have lunch?" >> narrator: the answer was yes. lunch turned to dinner, one thing led to another. >> after i left we communicated, wee mail it before i finally said, hey, i would like you to come over, you know, and possibly we have a relationship here together. >> narrator: it was october 1998. >> she came without her son. she told me she wanted to kind of check things out before she brought her son over here. so she was here, you know, and we got married in december of that year. >> narrator: two months later igor came to the united states and suddenly bob had a family. the one-time bachelor was smitten with his young wife and his new 4-year-old son. >> a little boy, you know, running around, having fun. you know, he was fantastic. >> narrator: bob formally adopted igor. >> he was my son. you know, i wouldn't consider

him anything else. >> narrator: and he meant it. in 2002 fate dealt the family a sucker punch when igor suffered what could have been a catastrophic health crisis, cancer. >> he fell off his bicycle and they did an x-ray and then they did a biopsy because they found something on a bone there. >> narrator: but with bob's help he pulled through. >> i care about that child. we did everything possible. >> narrator: they recovered from the setback with igor and life picked up in frisco, an ambitious little city outside of dallas. bob worked in sales. ana landed a job as a data analyst at the university of texas dallas, where she met jay. >> she came in and met with me and we clicked instantly. >> what made you guys click like that? >> i was new and 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. >> narrator: ana clicked with a lot of people like john workowski, a professor at the university that worked upstairs from ana. >> she wanted to learn about quantitative message and we sort of hit. we were big buddies. >> narrator: she was taking a course in public speaking when she met jerry and he joined her crowd of admirers. >> we used to tease each other. i said, you used to be my enemy, you are from a communist country. she thought it was pretty funny. >> narrator: in donna ross ana found a kindred spirit. once a professional ballet dancer, donna taught dance in frisco. >> she was very passionate about some of the same things i was passionate about. she loved the arts. she loved poetry.

there was a time when ana was blue, down in the dumps, and i started saying to her, "come on, ana, let's go, let's go to the opera, come on, come with me to the ballet," and we started going into dallas a lot. we went to the dallas symphony. we went to the dallas opera. we went to texas ballet theater. >> narrator: and ana's world got bigger, her life with bob began to wither. the marriage that had survived a child's illness faltered over time and ana spliced everyone whspliced -- surprised everyone when she asked bob for a divorce in 2012. for igor's sake they parted as friends and ana was 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 ana's age.

he is a professor at the university of dallas. >> narrator: and ana's new man. good-looking, age appropriate, a mild-mannered business professor. so with a nice, new boyfriend and a good job, ana 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? >> we usually go to the house and find, you know, somebody there, didn't want to talk to the person that's trying to find them or, you know, they've gone somewhere and just not told somebody. >> but this was different? >> yes, sir. >> coming up -- what was going on with ana? police were about to uncover a troubling clue. >> that's when we noticed some shell casings in the garage. >> narrator: one alarming discovery and just feet away

door. soy i ca so i came out and asked what was going on and they said that they were following up on a well check. >> narrator: ana's boyfriend michael stodnick called police and said he was worried. he said he went to her house to pick her up for a date and she didn't answer the door, and now her colleagues were saying she hadn't shown up for work. frisco sergeant jay reen was one of the officers checking the door. >> reporter: of. >> no signs of forced entry anywhere. >> which means you don't have an excuse to go inside? >> correct. we didn't have any reason to kick in someone's door because there didn't seem to be anything out of the norm. >> narrator: the doors were locked so sergeant r eseem aske someone to find her son to help them get in the house. >> narrator: they sh.

>> they show up with the key and alarm code. did you get a read off the son? >> he sat in the car. >> narrator: a member of the sergeant's team was wearing a body camera. >> first thing we wanted to see was if the car was there. >> this is the police. >> as you walk in, two of my guys went in the garage, looked and said, hey, there's no car. >> narrator: but then they looked down and what they saw was beyond bad. ana 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? they were like, yes, she is. >> trauma? >> blood out the mouth. >> so we did a quick, protective sweep of the house to make sure nobody else was inside and then we came out and locked the door. that way we kept the scene pristine for the crime scene and detectives to arrive. >> narrator: investigators were there within minutes. one of them was ruben marchingin

mankin with the texas ranger. >> my initial observation coming in was it was a clean house. then i made a b line for the laundry room. >> wait one second. clean meaning it looked like she didn't interrupt a burglary? >> that's correct. >> there was no stuff missing, drawers pulled open? >> right. >> something else was telling. on the floor of the garage was ana's purse which still held $300 and nothing else seemed to be missing except ana's car. ranger mankin surveyed the scene with lead detective. >> that's when we noticed shell casings in the garage, multiple shell casings. >> narrator: the casings easily identified the murder weapon as a .22 and a look at ana's body told more. >> i observed her to be lying on her back. she was heavily clothed, still wearing her jacket and a couple of scarves. i saw what appeared to be a

bullet hole in her scarf that was wrapped around her neck. that's when i observed the whole in her neck. >> so she was killed presumably by somebody that got into the house and waited for her in the garage? >> possibly. >> possibly. >> yeah, or she opens the garage door, she pulls in and somebody runs in there, shoots and kills her and takes the car. >> all right. so an alert goes out for the car, right? >> yes, sir. >> correct. >> narrator: there were so many scenarios under consideration. this didn't feel like a burglary or a car jacking. the medical examiner outline ana's cause of death. >> he was able to document she had been shot six times. >> narrator: they found a seventh bullet in ana's clothing that hadn't penetrated. in fact, it fell on to the examining table. the deadly bullet wound were close together. someone had shot her in the chest and then in the back. >> so this is somebody who was probably not too far away from

her? >> correct. >> and fired a bunch of times? >> correct. >> narrator: the trajectory of the bullets suggested ana had gotten out of her car, perhaps seen her assailant and started to turn away. >> she doesn't go down with those three rounds, and that's where you have the following barrage of bullets on her back that are square in her back. >> so like if we start wile youd the door is right there. >> yeah. >> and you go to turn to run that door, you are going to catch it left to right. >> yeah. >> narrator: there was something else and it was at the very least odd. ana may have been shot seven times, but police found 11 shell casings at the scene and no sign of the other four bullets. >> did crime scene ever find the other slugs in the walls or the floor or anywhere? >> no, sir. >> no, sir. >> that's kind of weird, right? >> yes. yes, sir. >> narrator: so now detectives turned their attention to the circle of people who knew and

loved ana 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 ana's son igor about his mother's murder and his response is strange. >> is she in one piece? >> is she in one piece, have you ever heard anybody respond like that? >> never. >> he's a person of interest, igor being the direct beneficiary of a large sum of cash, yes, that's someone we are going to look at. >> narrator: when "someone was waiting" continues. >> narrator: when "someone was waiting" continues and that protects our customers 24/7.

know about the subway." that was one of the -- >> wrong -- wrong thing to say? >> yeah, that was one of the more angry times in my life where i've ever had to really bite my tongue, but that was typical. that was all of a piece with bob. bob did not feel good unless he was putting someone else down and trying to elevate himself. >> tell me about michael? >> well michael is very low-key, very kind, very sensitive. >> 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? >> and yet, anna and michael did not get along perfectly, did

they? >> oh no, there was lots of -- of squabbling. >> reporter: it was dawning on anna's friends how little they really knew about this enigmatic russian woman. >> in this picture it's me and anna. jayshree today, treasures the gifts anna gave her. like this matroyshka, the famous russian nesting doll. but she also wonders. >> explain to me how you were among her closest friends. >> uh-huh. >> you called her your soul sister. >> i did. and she was. >> and yet there was so much of her life that she didn't tell you anything about. >> yes. >> 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 'em more detail. >> reporter: as her friends and the cops continued to peel back the multiple layers of the late anna moses's singularly opaque love life, she was starting to resemble a real life matryoska. 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 her, there's more going on there than just poetry. >> when "someone was waiting" continues.

>> reporter: winston churchill referred to russia as, "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." texas homicide investigators looking into the murder of russian immigrant anna moses were finding the same thing. michael stodnick, her boyfriend who put himself at the scene of the crime, told cops how he met anna. >> she was on match.com. i believe they met through match.com. >> reporter: anna's hard drive revealed he wasn't her first. on match.com, anna had page after page, eleven to be precise, of winks, postings by men who'd admired her photo. and, it wasn't just cyberspace keeping cops busy. lovely anna had plenty of flesh and blood admirers, including jerry caspell, who'd met her years earlier. >> we met at toastmasters.

>> which is a speaking club? >> it's for public speaking and leadership, and she was working on her english, of course. and, i kinda tried to help her. >> 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 dont 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. i said, "yeah, you can be my muse." what guy wouldn't want a muse, particularly an attractive russian one? >> so i called her my muse. she thought that was great.

>> 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. she was the type of person who took away sadness. so if i was going through any dark time in my life or feeling down, 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- 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 anna's relationship with john? >> they were friends, very good friends. >> yet another person of interest. for anna he was a friend with benefits, financial ones. >> the professor admits they dated briefly. >> right. >> i'm not sure what dated means, but, i mean, is he some kind of sugar daddy? >> that's what it appears to be. >> when "someone was waiting" continues. ne was waiting" continues. you doing okay?

murdered. > . >> i couldn't imagine it. >> potential suspects are the men in her life. from the poet to the boyfriend, who talked to police and then himself. but police are about to make a dramatic discovery. when you find a letter in russian, you don't know if that's going to be a great clue or a shopping list. >> right. >> reporter: it's not a shopping list. >> we were confident he was going to be our guy. >> reporter: as homicide investigators struggled to solve the murder of anna moses, their list of suspects grew longer. >> we have people of interest in -- during this -- and there was certainly a lot of them. >> reporter: anna's life proved 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, 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. >> coworkers indicated that she had a close relationship with dr. wiorkowski. >> reporter: dr. john wiorkowski is a vice provost at u.t. dallas. anna took one of his classes. >> i knew her for about six years. but then about three years or four years ago, what she was doing coincided with something i was doing. so we worked together more, so that's how it sort of -- sort of became friends. she liked music, i liked music. >> reporter: before long, anna and the married professor were spending time together outside of work.

as the professor told it, they became even closer around 2012 when anna's marriage hit a rough patch. the two met most mornings for tea and sympathy. >> i would come down around 10:00 and -- just see how she was doing and then she would -- we would, you know, we might talk about music or lots of times, she was trying to improve her english. >> he would go visit her probably twice a day while she was at work. >> reporter: you guys both married? >> yes. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: your wives be okay with that kind of mentoring relationship between you and somebody else -- >> probably -- >> reporter: -- visiting her twice a day and having coffee? >> probably not. >> reporter: lawmen learned that later, while anna was still married to bob, the relationship evolved into a romance. the professor said he ended their fling, after he concluded the 30-year age difference was simply too much. they went back to being just friends.

but clearly for anna, this was friendship with a benefit -- for her. one more fiscal than physical. the professor was quite generous with his time and his money, even after their romance was supposedly over. how much money did he give anna? >> $46,000. >> reporter: $46,000? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: a man is going to give $46,000 to a woman that he spends a lot of time with, works with, seems attracted to but there's nothing going on between them? >> i think he's liking to pay to see the -- the happiness that it brings to people's lives. >> reporter: anna used some of the money to bring her mother from russia for a visit and to pay igor's college expenses. and the cash kept flowing. the professor gave her another $6,000 just days before her murder. and almost all of this, like so much of anna's life, stayed on

the down-low, at least with her friends. what could you tell about anna's relationship with john? >> they were friends. very good friends. of course, they had professional relationship which she was working on a project with him. >> reporter: and so they were together a lot? >> they were together a lot in the office. >> reporter: during the investigation, it came out that john and anna had dated for awhile. >> really? >> reporter: yes. surprising? >> yes. very. i didn't know that. >> reporter: there were secret relationships that were known apparently only to her and maybe one other person. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: it's like there were two annas or four annas. >> uh-huh. and i see where she's coming from, because, you know, i know our cultures are like that. i know that people don't share things. >> reporter: the professor explained anna was essentially his personal charity. the cops wondered about his motives. when a man who's interested in a

woman basically bankrolls her, gives her 40 something thousand dollars and nothing happens, she's not interested in him, or she says, you're too old or you realize you're too old -- that can make some guys pretty angry. >> absolutely. obviously we needed to keep digging. >> reporter: the professor admits they dated briefly. >> right. >> reporter: i'm not sure what dated means, but i mean, is he some kind of suge far daddy? >> that's what it appears to be. that he's, you know, giving her money in maybe hopes that, you know, maybe at some point maybe she would gain some interest in him. >> reporter: when they burrowed deeper into anna's finances, investigators found about $111,000 in her bank accounts, money cops thought her university job couldn't have provided. and the professor's generosity accounted for less than half of that. so all that money begged a lot of questions. was somebody else giving her money? >> i have no idea about that.

this is new to me. if she had asked me, i would give her money. if she was in need, i would have given her money. >> reporter: the unaccounted for cash was just another piece in a puzzle that already featured more characters than a hollywood caper. >> this is a good whodunit case. we didn't know a lot at that time and we had to rely on the investigation and the crime scene and evidence to point us to who did it. to who did it. coming up -- where would that evidence lead? the answers would surprise even anna's closest friends. there were all kinds of things in anna's life that she didn't tell anybody about. >> she did not. >> she did not. >> reporter: when talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

i thought it had to be thick to protect. but new always discreet is made differently. with ultra-thin layers that turn liquid to gel and lock it inside. for protection i barely feel. new always discreet. fund taxes matter too. every time a fund manager sells a stock it triggers a tax liability for you. and the higher the turnover the more you have to pay in taxes every year. and here's the worst part, because of high turnover, you actually might have to pay taxes even if the fund itself loses money. that's why you want to own low turnover funds whenever possible. the less you pay in fund fees, the less you pay in taxes, the more wealth you can accumulate... so here's to the strong,

who trust in our performance and comfortable, long-lasting protection. because your strength is supported by ours. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. because your strength is supported by ours. gillette proglide and proglide gel. five blades and a pivoting flexball designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke, while washing away dirt and oil. so you're ready for the day with a clean shave and a clean face.

>> reporter: the many heartbroken friends of anna moses crowded into her memorial service ten days after her murder. jerry played this song. he wrote it just for her. ♪ we don't know what we'll do

without you ♪ ♪ we could never doubt you ♪ to brighten up our day ♪ we can't think of anything ♪ about you, anna ♪ that doesn't make us feel ♪ so glad you've come our way >> reporter: it was time to say good-bye, except for many of her friends, who were saying hello because many were meeting each other, even learning about each other, for the first time. there were all kinds of things in anna's life that she didn't tell anybody about. >> she did not. >> reporter: there were relationships that were not known by her closest friends. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: jerry says he didn't even know who anna's ex-husband was until well after the service. >> he got up and talked about meeting her for the first time in -- i think in st. petersburg.

and he started crying, and it wasn't until maybe a day later that i talked to one of her friends and they said that was bob. >> reporter: bob says he had a hard time holding it together. >> at the memorial service when i spoke about her, i was extremely emotional. in fact, i had to have somebody bring me a tissue, because it was so upsetting to me to talk about this. >> reporter: anna's son, igor also managed to speak -- but it wasn't easy for him, or for anyone. they shared their grief that day, their memories -- but on another level, they were also sharing a few suspicions. donna knew the odds. anna was probably killed by someone close to her. and that someone could have been at that very service, putting on a show. >> you know, the fact that somebody cries on the stand or at a funeral or so on and so forth, well, of course. i mean, if they've just committed a crime and -- and --

yes, they can still cry. >> reporter: grief does not imply innocence. >> no, absolutely not. >> reporter: in the days that followed, detectives would consider the cast of characters who had reveled in the glow of the anna moses starlight, and then mourned her passing. and some began to drop off the list of suspects. including anyone she might have recently met from online dating. >> so anna did have a match.com account. but she hadn't been on it, or actively searching or looking, to our knowledge. and that's verified through the match.com records. >> reporter: so, at least from match.com, she wasn't dating anybody except the boyfriend? >> correct. >> reporter: and the first real suspect was one of the first to be cleared. igor, the son, not terribly interested in helping law enforcement. says he doesn't want a funeral for his mother, says whoever did this should be forgiven, and he's the beneficiary of a $750,000 insurance policy.

>> yes, sir. >> reporter: but given that police believe anna was killed around 6:00 p.m., igor had a go good alibi. where was igor when she was killed? >> in class. >> reporter: how far away? >> it's about 45 minute drive. >> reporter: you're convinced he was there in class? >> yes, sir. we spoke to classmates. we were all able to verify it through the investigation. >> reporter: as for igor's odd reaction at the news of his mother's death, friends told police that igor is just that way sometimes. no one who knew him doubted igor was devastated. and you've got a neighbor across the street who helpfully keeps very close tabs on anna moses. >> yes. >> reporter: okay, the neighbor was nearby, quite nearby, when the murder happened. the neighbor is home?

>> on a conference call. >> reporter: and can you prove he's on the conference call? >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: so, police rule out the neighbor. but what about the boyfriend, michael? he was supposed to have had a date with anna that night. but detectives say he couldn't have done the murder. they confirmed he was attending an event at his daughter's school. >> we got the boyfriend signed in, and then he's also on video at the school, grapevine elementary. >> reporter: too far away. >> too far away. >> reporter: as for that strange conversation michael had with himself? >> i have no idea. did i [ bleep ] up? >> reporter: in the end, police figured it was just shock, another odd twist in a case full of them. but there were still other people who had spun through anna's orbit and then shed tears at her memorial. did one of them have a reason to turn on her? that question continued to nag at police as they narrowed the search for her killer.

coming up -- a surprise discovery turns this investigation inside-out. >> there was a locked drawer and inside the drawer was a letter in russian. >> reporter: will it lead investigators to the truth? >> and we were pretty confident that he was going to be our guy. >> reporter: when "someone was waiting" continues. waiting" continues i am in so much debt. sixty-two thousand seven hundred and ten dollars and thirty-one cents. sofi allowed me to refinance all of my loans to one low interest rate

and an affordable monthly payment. and i just feel like there's an end in sight now and that my debt doesn't define me anymore. ♪ sofi is helping me get my money right. ♪

>> reporter: the professor and the poet, it's no sitcom title. this was deadly serious. both were among anna's most ardent admirers, and both were still under suspicion. you got a couple of guys who are sort of in the shadows. john, the professor and jerry, the poet. the professor gives her $40,000 and gets back in return, we don't really know what. and the poet thinks of her as his muse. have i got that about right? >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: did police have

questions about them? absolutely. but days later, investigators came to believe both men were nowhere near anna's house when she was murdered, based on witnesses and, interestingly enough, the same alibi. the professor is where? >> on the tollway. >> reporter: the poet is where? >> on the tollway, driving. >> reporter: investigators had eliminated a lot of suspects but they hadn't found their killer. they needed a break. and two weeks after the murder, they got one. a mysterious message from anna herself, in essence, from beyond the grave. >> a search warrant was conducted on anna moses's office at ut-dallas and there was a locked drawer. and inside the drawer was a letter in russian. >> reporter: straight from a cold war spy novel. but where would it lead? >> we had to get an fbi agent to come translate the letter for us. >> reporter: you don't know whether that's going to be a great clue or just a shopping list. >> right, right. >> reporter: the note was a mixture of russian and english.

in any language, it was a bombshell.n parently during divorce proceedings two years earlier. anna was telling a lawyer about a threat from her husband bob. a convoluted one, but a threat nonetheless. >> basically, the letter translates that bob was going to kill himself and blame anna and write a letter to igor blaming anna to get igor to hate anna. >> reporter: all of this, pree sum bly, is some way of convincing anna to stay with bob. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: if true, it was a bizarre blackmail attempt that put a more sinister spin on bob's claim of an amicable divorce. so, that letter really kind of gave you a window into what was really happening in that marriage? >> right. if -- if you're suicidal, you're homicidal. that -- that's a real quick switch. >> reporter: that gave detective tschudy and ranger mankin a powerful reason

to review bob. but fearing he'd lawyer up, they lured him back to the frisco pd by saying they had information for him on anna's estate. >> thanks for coming up, bob. we appreciate it. >> reporter: once inside the cramped interview room, the investigators immediately changed the subject to bob's shaky alibi for the day of the murder. turns out, his roommate could not vouch for bob or his timeline, as bob had said he would. >> i know it's been a couple of weeks. but if you can remember. >> right now, i have a hard time telling you what i did yesterday, been so distraught. >> i'm sorry, but that is -- that is vague. >> i'm not trying to be vague, it's just -- i don't have details for you because there's no details. sitting there watching tv, i didn't look at my phone, okay, it's 2:00 and i'm watching tv. i wasn't keeping track of time.

>> reporter: he was selling. the cops weren't buying. >> you understand this is a murder investigation? >> i absolutely understand, okay. >> so, anna was murdered. >> i -- yes. >> so when i get this, i mean it's not like a baseball was >> everybody else is bending over backwards to accommodate us and now we're catching, i don't know, i don't know, i don't keep track of every minute of every day. >> i don't. i can't tell you where -- where i was at 2:00 yesterday. >> reporter: but in bob's first interview at the police station, he did remember going to twin peaks around 7:00 p.m. the problem is the police think anna was killed an hour before that. >> you see on camera, walking in, sitting down at the bar. >> reporter: how long would it take him to get from his house to twin peaks. >> five to ten-minute drive. >> reporter: so it's close? >> yes. >> reporter: so maybe if he comes in at 7:00, he left home at 6:45? >> yes. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: that's still plenty of time to have been at anna's

house and commit the murder? >> correct. >> correct. he's got a big hole in his timeline that he can't explain. >> reporter: while investigators were focused on bob's alibi and catching a killer, bob wanted to talk about -- well, just about anything else. like his guns the cops took to examine. >> my guns, can i get those back? >> reporter: the cops said bob changed the subject anytime he felt cornered. >> bob never asked us one time about the killer, how the investigation was going, any leads. if my wife or ex-wife was murdered, the mother of my child, i'd expect something to be done about it. i'd want to know updates on the investigation, how is it going, where are we at, what can you tell me what can't you tell me? >> reporter: you get that from families all the time. >> yes, sir. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: but not from bob. >> no, sir. but he did ask about the will. >> reporter: anna's will, that was the hook that brought bob to the pd. >> i did have a couple of questions. we're looking to see if anna has a new, or newer, will. >> what did the old will say? do you know? >> well, basically, i gave my

stuff to her. she gave her stuff to me. >> reporter: but anna restructured her will and didn't tell him? >> bob didn't even know that igor was the beneficiary. bob, at that time, thought that he was the beneficiary on the will. >> reporter: so maybe bob thought he would be the one cashing in anna's $750,000 life insurance policy. it was money police said he desperately needed. >> he's in over his head financially. anna moses wasn't even cold and in the ground by the time robert moses moved back into the house. so as we're looking at the investigation, who -- who's benefitting from anna's death? >> reporter: investigators were smelling the oldest of motives. >> it was all about the money. >> reporter: you think bob moses essentially killed his wife by mistakenly thinking that he was going to get a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? >> it was a targeted murder. either he was going to be the beneficiary or he could manipulate igor to get access to that money.

>> reporter: and now, cops were eager to confront the man with a motive. they went in for the kill. >> we either think we're sitting across from a monster or somebody that had a lapse in judgment. >> me? no. absolutely not. >> why not, bob? >> okay. i don't know what you're talking about now, but it sounds like you're accusing me of something. >> we're -- we're fact-finders, okay? >> good. i hope you find the facts. >> you're making it hard for me to find the facts, bob, because you can't tell me [ bleep ]. >> you know what? i'm done -- i'm done talking to you guys. i'm done talking to you, okay? because i don't know everything i did that day, and you're trying to twist all this around now. >> reporter: with that, bob strode out of the room, but not out of suspicion. do you guys think you have your man? >> we were pretty confident that he was going to be our guy. >> reporter: on february 26th, 2015, six weeks after anna

was gunned down, bob moses was arrested. it was his birthday. he'd spend it behind bars, facing a charge of murder. and that's where we interviewed him. did you kill your wife? >> no, absolutely not. i would never hurt anna. coming up -- >> the killer in this room is robert moses and there will be no doubt in your mind. >> reporter: bob moses goes on trial, facing a prosecution witness who claims he terrified anna. >> he said, can i come to your house, i'm afraid he will kill me tonight. >> reporter: when "someone was waiting" continues. was waiting" continues

>> reporter: it was october, but it felt like summer as the texas sun shone over the collin county courthouse, almost two years after anna moses was murdered. >> all rise. >> reporter: inside the courtroom, bob moses, the man who brought anna to america and who loved and cared for her and her son, was charged with her murder. >> anna was a sweet woman, and you're going to see that. and -- >> reporter: prosecutor cynthia walker began to lay out her case for the jury. >> anna had been shot six times. to the chest, one in the throat, and three in the back. >> reporter: telling them the evidence would point to anna's ex-husband. >> and the killer in this room is robert moses. and there will be no doubt in your mind. >> reporter: walker was promising a strong case, but what's a prosecutor to do about all those men in anna's life? she knew the defense would try

to cast them as alternative suspects. no shortage of potential persons of interest here? >> anybody who is going to be in a circumstantial case where there aren't any witnesses, you start looking at people and you say, who are the people closest to her? you know, boyfriends, friends, anybody that's had any sort of relations with her. >> reporter: so, in an unusual move, walker decided to preempt the defense and call those men as her own witnesses. she began with anna's boyfriend, michael stodnick, who said he was intrigued by anna the day they met. >> she was an amazing woman. she was incredibly intelligent, very well-spoken, extremely kind and just someone i knew i wanted to get to know right away. >> reporter: the prosecutor showed michael a photo of anna. >> this is how you want to remember anna, is that correct? >> yes. >> is she a beautiful woman? >> she is. >> reporter: and she asked him straight out -- >> did you kill anna?

>> no, i did not. >> reporter: she asked the same of the others. the neighbor across the street. >> did you kill anna? >> no. >> reporter: the poet. >> did you have anything to do with anna's death? >> no. >> reporter: the professor. >> did you have anything to with anna's death? >> no. >> reporter: everybody can be alibied, not just by their own words, but by subsequent investigation? >> yes. >> reporter: except bob moses? >> except bob moses. he was very general, very vague. >> reporter: with the frisco pd detective on the stand, walker played bob's interviews with police. >> what did you do from the time you woke up to -- >> i mean, i probably took the dog for a walk. >> reporter: remember, bob said he'd been at home most of the day and into the evening. but on the stand, bob's housemates all said they couldn't vouch for him. >> do you ever remember seeing bob moses in the house? >> i would say no. i -- i was rarely in the house. >> so, on january 13th, you

don't remember -- >> i don't remember seeing him at all. >> reporter: the prosecutor said bob's whereabouts couldn't be confirmed until he appeared on that restaurant video at 7:00 p.m. the texas ranger told the jury anna was killed an hour earlier. >> i knew she had left work, her office around 5:00. >> reporter: he mapped out her final trip using videos from the security cameras on her route, including that video from a neighbor's camera right near anna's home. >> she was captured one more time as she was traveling north on charleston. >> reporter: even though the timestamp says 6:59 p.m., police determined it was actually 5:49 when anna's car drove by. >> did you have an idea of when anna was -- when you believe about the time she was killed? checked her mail, because the -- the mail is strewn underneath her, it's loose, i believe it's soon after she arrived there

inside of the garage. >> reporter: the police theory -- at about 6:00 p.m., bob shot anna seven times -- six bullets found their mark. he then spread four other shell casings on the garage floor, took anna's car, parked it a few blocks away and tossed in the cigarette butt and the can of red bull. in a weird way, you ended up with too much evidence. i mean, there's all this stuff that is there -- >> uh-huh. >> reporter: -- at the actual scene of the murder, and then later in the car. that, you know -- >> that didn't make any sense. that's right. it made it feel more like this was designed to sort of throw off the investigation, put something else out there to say, oh, it could be somebody else. >> reporter: but cynthia walker said it wasn't somebody else. she told the jury bob had been nursing a long-simmering, 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

anna's russian friends. >> i think we become good friends just from beginning. >> reporter: she disspelled the notion that bob and anna's relationship had been amicable, and told the jury about a harrowing night about two years before the murder. >> in the winter of december of 2012, did you receive a phone call from -- from anna one day? >> yes. >> reporter: anna and bob were still married. anna said she had locked herself in the bedroom. >> did she appear to be upset and crying? >> yes. she told me that she called police. and she said, can i come to your house? i'm afraid he will kill me tonight. >> reporter: so far, the case was all circumstantial, but the state was about to present evidence it said pointed directly at bob moses, and only bob moses. when investigators first interviewed bob, the day after anna's murder, they saw something. >> noticed that he had a cut. or that he had a bandage that

was covering a wound on his right hand. >> reporter: investigators remembered that bandage when they saw those blood stains inside anna's car. >> and i observed what appeared to be a red, crimson stain on the seatback of her car. >> reporter: blood stains on the right side of the driver's seat, and a wound on bob's right hand. >> is this another stain that i am circling right now? >> yes, it is. >> reporter: and when this dna analyst testified, the prosecution thought it was game, set, match. she told the jury those 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. >> obtaining that mixture profill was 1. 22 sextillion times more likely if the dna came from anna moses and robert moses, than if the dna came from two unrelated, unknown individuals. >> reporter: translation?

it was bob moses' blood. and in that second interview with police, he had no explanation for it. >> is there any reason why your blood would be inside of her car? >> not that i can think of, no. >> reporter: the prosecutor told the jury that what pushed bob over the edge on that january night were some of the oldest reasons in the book of murder -- not just money, but jealousy and envy. >> she lives in this beautiful house. she's dating this nice, wonderful man. and then you have robert moses, who's in debt, who's having to live in a house with other men in a small bedroom. who benefited from her death? right after her murder, the defendant moved into her house. he is going through her finances, he is trying to get into her bank accounts, her emails, trying to determine, you know, what her finances are.

the evidence points beyond a reasonable doubt to the man, the killer, who is looking at us >> reporter: now, the defense was ready to pounce. two attorneys, both of them former prosecutors, were about to try to rip the state's case to shreds. and they would be asking the jury to consider this simple question -- who ate the kes diaw? 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 kes diaws, she'd have to be killed a couple hours later. if the killing happens two hours later, well, bob moses is sitting in the twin peaks on video. >> reporter: when "someone was waiting" continues. waiting" continues

>> reporter: bob mosesall along. he had not killed his ex-wife. were you violent toward your wife? did you ever hit her? >> i would never hurt anna. i would never hurt any woman, okay? if you would ask igor, ask her mom, they would tell you, i never, ever touched her. never. >> reporter: and in a north texas courtroom, defense attorneys toby shook and cody skipper argued the state got it wrong.

>> the only side that's going to be left standing at the end of this is going to be this one right here. >> reporter: skipper said bob wasn't an angry ex who killed unanimous for money. he was the victim of an inept investigation. police were sloppy, the defense suggested, and missed big clues. remember, cops concluded this wasn't a robbery. but the credit card anna used at taco bell wasn't in her purse. >> i'm pulling out the wallet so the record's clear. point me to where you indicated that anna moses had a missing credit card? >> you probably aren't going to find it. >> give me a -- a page where that's mentioned? >> don't have it. >> a paragraph. >> don't have it. >> her credit card was missing from the purse. and there's no one who knew that in this entire investigative team until they were asked on the witness stand. >> reporter: it was shoddy

police work, he told the jury, as was the theory that all 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? >> the fact of the matter is, all those casings were the same type of casings. they were all fired from the same weapon. that's what the ballistics expert testified to. the tool marks matched exactly. >> they never sent any detectives across the street to see if any projectiles had struck a fence, a car, a house. >> reporter: you mean, out the open door of the garage? >> out the open door. the shooting could've happened while that door was open. and the projectiles could've gone out and struck something. but they admitted they never bothered to look. they just assumed all the firing happened in the garage and would have hit the walls. and if you go with the theory of those were planted, well, then, i would think the person who committed the crime, if they are planting evidence, is going to, you know, plant different types

of shells, maybe show two people. doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. >> reporter: and that can of red bull? police said it was a red herring but the defense said it was another red hot clue with no followup. >> they test it for dna, it comes back to an unidentified male. not bob moses. not any of the other suspects they listed and certainly not anna moses. the investigators asked witnesses that knew the moseses well and they all said that anna moses didn't drink red bull, igor didn't, robert didn't drink red bull. so, it's a prime type of evidence that could been left there by the killer. >> reporter: shook argued dna on the can could have led investigators to a whole new suspect. but he said police focused only on anna's ex. >> they had in this case classic tunnel vision. bob moses was a suspect after the first day and everyone

else -- their mind-set was, let's see how we can alibi this guy pretty quickly, for the trial, and anything else that came up, they didn't pay attention to. >> reporter: the defense also tried to knock down the testimony of the friend who said anna was afraid of bob. >> and she said, can i come to your house? i am afraid he will kill me tonight. >> reporter: bob's lawyers pointed out that call was two years before the murder. and after the divorce, anna and bob remained on good terms. >> you knew bob was coming over the house, and still fixing things, repairs and picking up igor? >> yes. >> she wasn't telling you when bob comes and fixes the water pipe that's leaking, you -- you know, she's afraid of him, was she? >> no. >> reporter: then, the defense tried to blow up the prosecution's timeline, saying that video from anna's neighbor was hardly definitive. >> the only thing you can tell this jury about that car was that it's a sedan, right? >> yes, sir. >> make? model?

color? do you have any information on that? >> no, sir. >> reporter: so maybe that wasn't anna driving by that camera just before 6:00 p.m. the defense reminded the jury of the last proven stop anna had made that day when she pulled up to that taco bell drive-through at 5:37 p.m. and they asked, "who ate that quesadilla?" >> just the package is found in the trash next to her body. >> reporter: so, she ate it or the killer ate it. >> she ate it or the killer ate it. >> reporter: the defense called their own forensic expert. >> it's my opinion that that if she had eaten the quesadilla, chicken quesadilla, ten minutes prior to dying that i would still be able to see chicken and other identifiable parts of that quesadilla in her stomach. >> reporter: but there was no mexican food in anna's stomach. >> if she ate the quesadillas, she wasn't killed at 5:55 p.m. she had have to be killed a

couple hours later at the minimum. >> reporter: and if the state's timeline was off, then bob moses was in the clear. >> if the killing happens two hours later, well then, bob moses, he's sitting in the twin peaks on video. okay? we know where he is. we're not sure where all these other people are. >> reporter: if the timeline's wrong, said the defense, the alibis of all the other potential suspects fall apart. the telltale quesadilla was never found. if the killer ate it, presumably his or her dna might be all over that wrapper. >> you could have skin cell dna on that. you could have touch dna and you could have fingerprinting on that. >> reporter: skipper asked the lead detective about that. >> you didn't submit that taco pell bell trash for touch dna, correct? >> correct. >> you didn't submit it for lateen prudents, correct? >> right. >> reporter: the defense portrayed bob as the victim of half-baked police work.

but there was another victim the jury was about to hear from. someone who had not only lost his mother, but could now lose his father, too. in a hushed courtroom, the defense called their star witness to the stand. >> my name is igor moses. >> reporter: igor told the jury how he felt about his mother. >> igor, you loved your mother greatly, didn't you? >> yes. >> miss her. >> yeah. >> reporter: and igor said he had no doubt his father was innocent. >> i do not believe my father killed my mother. >> reporter: it turned out igor was bob's biggest supporter. he said there was only one reason his dad had returned to living in anna's house. >> following my mother's death, my grandmother and i both asked my dad to move back into the house. >> reporter: and igor said his dad's actions had nothing to do with greed. >> was he trying to get the money from you? asking you to give him money from the account that he could have? >> no. >> reporter: igor even tried to

discredit the state's strongest evidence against his father. bob's blood in anna's car. >> is that the car we're talking about? >> yes, that is my mom's car. >> reporter: his dad, he said, had often driven that car and that blood stain on the driver's seat was hardly fresh. >> yeah, that one's been there for quite a long time. >> do you know how long? >> i mean, since high school, i would imagine. >> reporter: there's no way to tell how long his blood was in that car? >> no. >> no. no. they can't -- they couldn't age the dna. they don't know when the blood was put there. the dna folks could not tell them how old that blood was. >> reporter: even more important, there was no evidence putting bob in the garage where anna was murdered. bob's guns were tested, none fired the fatal shots. and the murder weapon was never found. no witnesses. no dna or prints or security video at the crime scene. there's nothing tying him to her body. >> no. >> reporter: shook offered that to the injury.

>> why didn't you find the blood anywhere in that garage? why didn't you didn't you find it on her clothing -- his blood? it doesn't make sense. >> reporter: this case, said the defense, was far from a slam dunk. >> you don't have answers at the end of this case. alls you have are questions. >> reporter: and the final question was -- who would the jury believe? coming up -- the answer. >> go ahead and rise. >> and the emotional fallout. >> all her friends were crying. we didn't know what to do to stop the crying. >> reporter: when "someone was waiting" continues. eporter: whes waiting" continues it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day

>> reporter: the jury had heard the whole tangled tale of friends, lovers, a son, an ex-husband and the woman they all said they loved and adored. jurors sat through seven days of testimony and heard more than 40 witnesses, all to answer the question, did bob moses murder his ex-wife anna in a jealous rage? lawyers made their final appeals. the defense said the state's whole case was weak, based on poor police work. >> this investigation, which you rely on to make your decision, is incomplete, it's inconclusive. don't let the fact that anna moses, an innocent woman, was murdered and i've got to bring someone to justice for

her. don't let them guilt you into that. >> reporter: prosecutor cindy walker wasn't having any of it. >> ladies and gentlemen, the only guilt, no one's guilting you into anything. the only guilt that belongs anywhere is with that man right there, robert moses. everything points to him, it points nowhere else. >> reporter: the prosecutor didn't want jurors to lose sight of why they were there. so she made sure a photo of anna was always on display. >> this is anna. she was a beautiful woman. >> reporter: now it was up to those six men and six women to decide if bob moses stalked and shot his ex-wife in her garage that january night. they deliberated for eight hours that first day and went home for the night. the next day, after their morning coffee, they told the judge they were ready.
