be. >> she was found dead in her house. she's >> lying on the ground, blood. >> who would do this to her? >> and with so many men in her life, there would be plenty of potential suspects. >> you knew a lot awful lot about her routines. >> he is trying to get into her bank accounts. her emails. >> he's a direct beneficiary of a large sum of cash. but someone we're going to look at. >> could this strange reveal a killer? >> there was a locked door and inside the door was a letter in russian. >> that letter gave you get a window into what was really happening. >> we were confident he was going to be our color. >> of all the places a beautiful, bright young russian might end up, frisco, to texas, my mom 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 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 can't describe it inwards. i don't think i have words to describe what we felt. >> like a blossom to be, the sweet nature anna attracted a circle of admirers. safe to say you had a crush on her? >> if you could probably say that. yeah, at some point. >> i don't think she ever had a problem. everybody loved her. >> 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 to herself. so, she listen to your really deepest secrets. but she wouldn't give you any of her own? >> no. >> 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 saint petersburg, where she, i believe, got and degree in economics at the university. i knew she married when she was fairly young and had her son igor. >> the marriage didn't last long and the husband dropped out of the picture. so, there was anna, in her late twenties 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 old. or >> in real life, real friendly, had a great smile. so, i just said would you like to have lunch. >> the answer was yes. lunch turn to dinner. one thing led to another. >> after i left, we communicated. we emailed. but before you know i said hey, i would like you to come over. possibly we have a relationship. >> it was october, 1998. >> she came without her son. she told me she wanted to check things out before she brought her son over here. so, she was here and we got married in december of that year. >> two months later, igor came to the united states. suddenly, bob had a family. the one-time bachelor was smitten with his young wife. and his new four year old son. >> you know a little boy running around having fun. it was fantastic. >> bob formally adopted igor.

>> he was my son. you know? i wouldn't consider him anything else. >> and he meant it. in 2002, fate dealt the family a sucker punch, when igor suffered what could've been a catastrophic health crisis. cancer. but with bob's help, he pulled through. >> i care about that child. a lot. we did everything possible. >> 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 in and met with me and we clicked instantly. >> what made you guys click like that? >> i was a new, so she came over and told me about. tell me who they were in the office. took me around. we met people. we went out for lunch.

so, it was really nice of her to make me feel very comfortable. >> 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 we were good buddies. >> 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 tease each other. i said, used to be my enemy. you're from a communist country. as she thought that was pretty funny. >> donna ross, anna found a kindred spirit. once a professional badly 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. >> as anna's world got bigger, her life with bob began to wither. the marriage that have survived a child's illness faltered over time. and anna surprised everyone when she asked bob for a divorce in 2012. four igor's sikh, 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, softspoken, young man. about anna's age. he is a professor at the university of dallas. >> 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 up for work. michael said he couldn't get in touch with her, so he contacted

police. they went to check on her. when you get a welfare check all, what do you normally expect to find? >> usually go to the house and find somebody there, didn't want to talk to the person who's trying to find them. or they've gone somewhere and just not told somebody. >> but this was different? >> yes, sir. >> coming up -- what was going on with anna? police were about to untrue cover a troubling q clue. >> that's when we found shell cases in the garage. >> one alarming discovery, and just feet away, another. >> i observed her lying on her back. i saw will appear to be a bullet hole in her scarf. >> when "dateline" continues. you'll find a better life is in store at miracle-ear, when you experience the exclusive miracle-ear advantage. it starts with our free hearing assessment. plus innovative products that fit your needs and budget. with free service and adjustments for life.

trouble across the street at anna's house. >> i had my blinds opened and known to notice that police officers came and were knocking on the door. so i came out and asked what was going on. and they said that they were following up on a will check. >> anna's boyfriend, michael stodnick had called police to see he was worried. he said he had gone to her house the night before to pick her up for the date. but she didn't answer for the door. and our colleagues were seen she hadn't shown up for work. frisco sergeant jay reim was one of the officers checking the. home >> no signs of any type of forced entry anywhere. >> which means also you don't have any excuse to go inside. >> correct. we didn't have any reason to cake in somebody's door because there didn't seem to be anything out of ordinary. >> the doors were locked. so sergeant reim asked some officers to find anna's 20 year old son to help them get in the house. igor was by then a student living at the university were his mother work.

you show up with the sun and the key and the alarm code. do you get any kind of read off of the sun? >> i didn't talk to the sun. he sat in the. car >> and that's where igor we did while police went into his mom's house. a member of sergeant reim's team was wearing a body camera. >> the first thing we wanted to see is if the car was there. so, we walked in. and as you walk in, two of my guys went in the garage, looked. said there is no. car >> but then they looked down and what they saw was beyond bad. anna moses, whose sunny presidents had touched so many lives, was lying dead on the garage floor. >> i was standing in the laundry room and i was like, is she deceased? they're like, yes she is. >> blood at the mouth. >> so, we did a quick protective sweep of the house to make sure no one else was inside. and then we came out lock the door, that we kept the scene pristine for the crime scene and detectives to arrive. >> investigators were there within minutes. one of the most one of them was

reuben mankin of the texas rangers. >> my initial observation was, just from coming through the four, was that it was a clean house. then i made a beeline for the laundry room -- >> wait one second, clean meaning it looked like she did interrupt a burglary? >> that's correct. that's correct. >> there was no stuff missing. drawers pulled open. >> right. >> something else was telling. on the floor of the garage was anna's purse, which still held $300. and nothing else seem to be missing except anna's car. ranger mankin surveyed this scene with a lead detective brian tschudy. >> that's when we notice shell casings in the garage. multiple shell casings. >> 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 clothes.

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. and that's when i observed the hole in her neck. >> 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. she pulls in and somebody runs in their, shoots and kills her, and takes the car. >> all right. so an alert goes out for the car, right? >> correct, sir. >> 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 that she had been shot six times. >> they found a seventh bullet in anna's clothing that hadn't penetrated. in fact, it fell on to the examining table. the deadly bullet wounds 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. >> fired a bunch of times. >> correct. >> 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 and that's where you have the following barrage of bullets on her back. that are square in her back. >> so if we startle you, the door is right there, and you go to turn to run through that door, you're going to catch it left to right. >> 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. did crime scene ever find the other slugs in the walls, or the floor, or anywhere? >> no, sir. >> that's kind of weird. >> yeah. >> right?

>> yes, sir. >> 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? >> is she in one piece? have you ever heard anybody respond like that. >> never. >> he's a person of interest. >> igor being the beneficiary of a large sum of cash. yes, that somebody to look at. >> when "dateline" continues.

43 year old anna moses upper body found in a garage in dallas. now the sergeant had the difficult task of breaking the news to her only child. >> we needed to notify the sun. >> he was at the curb. >> he was at the curb. we could not tell him anything. >> after helping please get into the house, 20 year old eager moses was waiting outside sitting in a car. >> what's your name. >> sergeants body cam was switched on but -- 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. >> right. >> okay? so right now, we've got to do a lot of things to try to figure out how -- why -- what's going on. >> you've done that kind of notification before? >> a lot. >> they're not pleasant. >> no. worst thing to do. >> was this one different? . it was different in the response that i received. >> it was basically no response according to reim. just a blank stare. >> did he cry? was emotional? >> not at all. >> their conversation, if that's what it was, continues. >> is your mom's car usually here? >> yes. >> is it not? here >> no. >> that's one eager as the question that came totally left field. >> where they're any? keys -- is she in one piece? >> have you ever heard anyone respond like that to death

notification? >> no. >> but it wouldn't be the only response leaving sergeant reim scratching his head. >> so talk to the detective -- >> i do have class even though i know that's kind of insignificant at the moment. >> okay -- i think you can get an excuse for that. >> he never made it's a class that night. and steady he was brought here to the police department for a formal interview. investigators had already been briefed about his odd reactions at the news of his mother step. later he would tell his friends he didn't want to have a funeral for her. and also this, that whoever had killed anna moses should be forgiven. >> he said that he was in class of the day his mother was murdered. but investigators were wondering about his unusual reaction. especially when they learned right after the interview, that very same night, igor was in the gym playing a game called

wally ball with friends. he, by no means, seem to be grieving. >> it really added us -- ed let us to dig a little deeper into it was going on. >> this is hours after his mother was founded? >> correct. >> and when detectives did dig deeper, they discovered what could've been a motive. i anna had a 750,000 dollar insurance policy with a single beneficiary, igor. he's a >> he's a person of interest, hemmed being the unique beneficiary for a large sum of cash, yes we're gonna look at that. >> but donna read the awful news on facebook posted by another friend. >> that must of been terribly shocking. >> 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 would hate her? >> exactly. >> donna said she could not picture igor as the killer. >> i just know igor is not capable of murder. >> and another friend remembered how close igor and anna we're. >> she just adored him, he was the center of her life. >> but it he's she say about her son? >> she said i want him to pursue his passion, which is music. and she would always go to his concerts. >> well igor played guitar in a christian rock band, with two big interests, music and religion. he was studying stick pathology at the university of dallas. the same school where his mother worked. >> when he was --

>> she is in college and she's doing his laundry? >> yes. she would take all his clothes, wash them, iron them, get him some food, homemade food, and stuff like that. >> the last time donna saw anna, anna could not contain her excitement about travel plans she had made with igor. >> she was tell me about her wealthy and giving her money so she and igor could go on vacation and she was really looking forward to that. >> but as much as and his friends believed in igor, they still were unsure 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. >> day one of the investigation, and igor was just the first of

the men in anna's life. the list would be long. and some of them were secret admirers. some relationships that and i didn't even share with her closest friends. including her ex husband. >> clearly, he will be at the top of the list of the many one interview. >> correct. >> coming up. detectives talk with bob moses and leave with more questions than answers. >> did y'all ever fight when you all remarried? >> i mean we had disagreements. i mean that's kind of why we're divorced. >> i did not think that this was going to be an easy case to solve. when dateline continues. e continues. reeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing] ♪ it's a new dawn, it's a new day... ♪ no matter how you got copd it's time to make a stand. ♪ ...and i'm feelin' good ♪ start a new day with trelegy.

cops were looking hard at the man in on his life. starting with her official boyfriend, michael stodnick who had a date with anna on the day she was killed and was reported missing. detective stop downtown and grilled him on his whereabouts on the night of on his death. and i was there and i was at the scene of the murder, i just can't get in? >> he was by grapevine elementary element. >> he would answer all their questions, but a couple of 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, doesn't hire an attorney, her ex-husband bob doesn't hire an attorney. her boyfriend, however, does. did that make you sit up and

take notice? >> it does raise the question -- when we started asking for dna. >> what stodnick did eventually provide a dna sample, but that didn't put questions about him to rest. because, when the cops left the interrogation room, on his boyfriend had a private and animated conversation with himself. >> i have no idea. did i [bleep]. am i overreacting? >> strange, if not downright suspicious. it definitely didn't help his standing on the cops hit parade of suspects. anna's dear friends are still shell-shocked by her death are drawn into the investigation. >> what did you think about this case was going out with, michael? >> when she started going out with them, she called me to say, hey, i found somebody who i'm

seeing. >> and i said oh that's nice i'm so happy for you. >> did she tell you anything else about? i'm >> no. she just said that he seems to be a nice person. and i'm happy. >> jayshree had never met anna's boyfriend michael. and most of her friends don't know her ex boyfriend bob. her friend donna was the only one to know her boyfriends. she thought that bob lacked social graces, he always knew what the -- i worked with the -- and for him -- it was pretty insulting. >> and here you are 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 the -- >> wrong thing to say. >> bob did not feel good and less he was putting someone else down and trying to elevate himself. >> tell me about michael. >> michael is very low-key. very kind. very sensitive. >> sounds like you approved of michael a lot more than bob. >> oh absolutely, yes. >> 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? on nine michael did not get along perfectly, did? they >> know there are a lot of squabbling. >> it was dawning on anna's

her life, there would be other people that she would give details to. >> as anna's friends on the cops began to peel multiple layers of honest singularly opaque love life, she was starting to resemble a real life matryoshka, beautiful, intricate, and with a lot unseen. and detectives were just beginning to tally on this legion of admirers around the greater dallas area. >> coming up. one of those admires, a poet, who insisted that he was just good friends with anna. >> generally when men describe a woman as their music and they are writing poems about her, there is more going on that just poetry. >> when dateline continues. hen dateline continues

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 on match.com. >> ana's hard drive revealed that he was not her first. she had page after page. 11 to be precise of men who admired her photo. and it wasn't just cyber space keeping cops busy. lovely anna had plenty of flesh and blood admirers. including caspell. >> we met at choke esper's.

it was her public speaking and leadership. she was working on her english. and i was trying to help her. >> it sounds as if there was very quickly a connection between the two of you. >> we got to be close friends. she asked me for example to help her with her resume. >> you said keep riding don't forget. >> 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 as, yeah, you can be my muse. >> work i would not want a muse, particularly a unattractive one. >> so i called her my muse. >> maybe i'm cynical here. but i do work for dateline.

generally one men described women as their muse and their writing poems to her, for her, or about her, there is more going on there then poetry. or at least then the man hopes there is. >> or there was a deep friendship. i loved her like i would love his sister. >> i'm going to read you an excerpt of a poem he wrote. a soft touch to kill my sad soul when it takes, whisper words to soothe my heart when it breaks. that's the kind of poem that guys right about their girlfriends. >> yeah, maybe it is. she inspired me to write things like that. >> anna may have been merely jerry's muse but she was careful to conceive her relationship with him from her husband bob while she was still married. >> she would make sure that i wasn't there when he was coming

over. >> it sounds like she was trying to avoid the two of you beating. >> i was fine with that. >> couldn't in a reasonable person, an investigator, look at the emails and text between the two of you and conclude that there was maybe something extracurricular going on? >> sure, i got it. >> investigators were in the midst of their own musings about their relationship. and had some questions for jerry like whether he had any guns. the poet told them that he own 22 for target shooting. the same kind as the weapon that killed anna. and jerry says that 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 -- >> she had never mentioned michael to you? >> i've never heard about him until the memorial.

>> and now there was someone else on the cops radar. remember that neighbor david who notice the police activity out inside her house? he was extraordinarily helpful and providing on details about on his love life to detectives. >> i see one guy he was around for a while and then all of a sudden i see another guy. maybe three, four, five months later. and then she started dating a third guy. >> the curious neighbor explain to us how he knew so much about on his private life. >> by sitting here i can see everything that goes on across the street. dry cars driving by, stuff like that. >> but he told us that he wasn't that interested in the pretty russian divorcee whose dating life he so carefully chronicled. not his type, he said. >> i would never ask her out.

i mean she's from a foreign country, she's russian. and her english was with a very heavy accent and i'm just not attracted to any woman like that. >> after on his body was found, he had visitors. >> we went over to mr. staffers house and sat down and talked with him. >> the neighbor told them that he was on a long conference call in his home office at the time on a was killed. >> were you feeling gaps of the timeline? >> did he hear any gunshots? >> he did in. >> that never seem to know a lot about her. >> yes and we knew that. he knew a lot about her routines, who she was dating, who she dated. >> the officers invited him downtown for a longer interview at the station. they asked the neighbor for his

shopping list. >> right. >> spoiler alert, it's not a shopping list. who does it point to? >> we were pretty confident that he was going to be our guy. >> as homicide investigators struggle to solve the murder of anna moses, their list of suspects grew longer. >> we had people of interest during this and there was certainly a lot of them. >> 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, divorce pistol in the picture. her soul mate, 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 is more. her colleagues pointed detectives toward another special friend of anna's. >> coworkers indicated that she had a close relationship with doctor wiorkowski. >> dr. john wiorkowski is a vice provost at ut dallas. anna took one of his classes. >> i knew her for about six years. but in about three, or four years ago, what she was doing consented coincided with something i was doing. so we work together more. so, that's how it it began. she likes music. i like music. >> before long, anna and the mary professor were spending time together outside of work. as the professor told it, they became even closer around 2012. when anna's hit a rough patch. the two met most mornings for tea and sympathy. >> i would come down around ten

and just see how she was doing. we would talk about music or, lots of time she was trying to improve her english. >> he would go visit her, probably twice a day, while she was at work. >> you guys both married? >> yes. >> your wives would be okay with that kind of mentoring relationship between you and somebody else? visiting her twice a day and having coffee? >> probably not. >> 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. and they went back to being just friends. but clearly for anna, this was a friendship with a benefit. for her. one more fiscal, than physical. the professor was quite generous with his time and his money. even after the romance was

supposedly over. how much money did he give anna? >> $46,000. >> $46,000? >> yes, sir. >> the man is going to get $46,000 to a woman that he spends a lot of time with. works with. seems attracted to. but there is nothing going on between them? >> i think he is liking to pay to see the happiness that it brings to peoples lives. >> 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 in anna's life, stayed on the down low. at least with her friends. what could you tell about anna's relationship with john wiorkowski? >> they were friends. very good friends. >> during the investigation, it came out that john and anna had dated for a while.

>> really? >> yes. surprising. >> yes. very. i do know that. >> there were secret relationships that were known, apparently only to her and maybe one other person. it's like there were two annas or four annas. >> i see where she's coming from because i know our cultures are like that. i know that people don't share things. >> the professor explained, anna was essentially his personal charity. the cops wondered about his motives. when a man who's is interested in a woman basically bankrolls her, gives her 40 something thousand dollars, and nothing happens she's not interested. 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. >> the professor admits they dated, briefly. not sure what dated means. but is he some kind of sugar

daddy? >> that's what it appears to be. that he's giving her money and in maybe hopes that at some point maybe she would gain some interest in him. >> when they borrowed 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 generosity accounted for less than half of that. so, all of that money begged a lot of questions. >> let 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. >> the unaccounted for cash was just another piece and a puzzle that already featured more characters than a hollywood caper. >> this is a good whodunit case. we didn't know, a lot of the time, we had to rely on the investigation of the crime scene evidence to point as 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 and his life that she didn't tell anybody about. >> she did not. >> when "dateline" continues. ontinues

holding it together. >> at the memorial service, when i spoke about her, i was extremely emotional. in fact, i had somebody bring me a tissue because it was so upsetting for me to talk about it. >> 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 this stand or at a funeral, or so on, and so forth, of course. if they've just committed a crime, yes they could still cry. >> grief does not polite innocence. >> no, absolutely not. >> 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 mourn 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. she had been on an actively searching to our knowledge. and that's verified through the match.com records. >> so, at least four match.com she was updating anybody except the boyfriend. >> correct. >> and the first real suspect was one of the first to be cleared. igor, the sun, 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 dollar insurance policy. >> yes, sir. >> but given that police believed anna was killed around 6 pm, igor had a good alibi. we're was igor when he was

killed? >> in class. >> how far away? >> it's about a 45 minute drive. >> you're convinced he was there in class? >> yes. we spoke to classmates. >> as for igor as's odd reaction at news of his mother's death. friends tell police 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. >> okay, the neighbor was nearby. quite nearby when the murder happened. >> the neighbor is home. >> on a conference call. >> and you can prove he's holding the conference call? >> yes, sir. >> so, police rule out a 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 he's also on video at

the school. grapevine elementary. >> too far away. >> too far away. >> as for that strange conversation michael had with himself. >> i have no idea. did i -- ? >> 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 tonight at police, as they narrowed the search for her killer. coming up -- a surprise discovery turns this investigation inside out. >> there was a lot of drawer and inside the door was a letter in russian. >> will it lead investigators to the truth? >> we were pretty confident that he was going to be our guy. ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing]

weren't. by >> but you understand this is a murder investigation? >> i absolutely understand. okay? >> anna was murdered. >> yes. >> so i get this -- it's not like a baseball was stolen out of someone. sure everyone else is bending over backwards to accommodate us, an hour catching i don't know, i don't know. i don't keep track of herman every day. >> i don't. >> that's not -- >> i can tell you where i was at 2:00 yesterday. >> but in bob's first interview with the police station he did remember going to twin peaks around 7 pm. the problem was that police think anna was killed an hour before that. >> he seen on camera walking in, sitting down at the bar. >> okay, so maybe if he comes in at 7:00, he left home at 6:45? >> yes, sir. >> that still plenty of time to have been a anna's house and commit the murder. >> correct. >> correct. >> while investigators focused on bobs alibi and catching a killer, bob wanted to talk about, well, just about anything else.

like his guns, the cops took to examine. >> migrants. is there, can i get those back? >> 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. but he did ask about the will. >> anna's will. that was the hook that brought bob to the pd. >> we're looking to see if anna has a new, or new or will. >> what did the old willed seal old will say, do you know? >> 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 of the will. >> so, maybe bob thought he would be the one cashing in an a $750,000 life insurance policy. it was money police said he desperately needed. >> he's in over his head, financially. anna moses was even cold and in

the ground by the time robert moses move back in the house. so, as we're looking at the investigation, who's benefiting from anna's death? >> investigators were smelling the oldest of motives. >> it was all about the money. >> 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. >> and now cops were eager to confront the men with the 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 -- >> were 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 tell me -- >> you know what? i'm done. and then talking to you. and then talking to you, okay? because i don't know everything i did that day. and you're trying to twist all this around now. >> with that, bob strode out the room. but not out of suspicion. you guys think you have your man? >> we were pretty confident that he was going to be our guy. >> on february 26, 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 -- bob moses goes on trial. facing a prosecution witness

husband. >> and the color in this room, is robert moses. and there will be no doubt in your mind -- >> walker was promising a strong case but what's a prosecutor to do about all those men and his life? she knew the defense would try to cast them as alternative suspects. no shortage of potential persons of interest here. >> anybody who's going to be in a circumstantial case where there aren't any witnesses, you start looking at people lindsey, who are the people closest to her? boyfriends? friends? anybody who has had any sort of relations with her. >> 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. >> the prosecutor showed michael a photo of anna. >> this is how you want to remember her -- anna, is that correct? michelle beautiful woman? >> she is. >> as she asked him a street out -- >> did you kill anna? >> no, i did not. >> she asked the same of the others. the neighbor across the street. >> did you kill anna? >> no. >> the poet. >> did you have anything to do with anna's death? >> no. >> the professor. >> did you have anything to do with anna's death? >> no. >> everybody can be all abide. not just by their own words, but by subsequent investigation. >> yes. >> except bob moses. >> except bob moses. he was very general. very vague. >> were the frisco pd detective on the stand, walker played bobs interviews with police. >> what did you do from the time you woke up to -- >> i mean, i probably took the dog for a walk. >> remember, bob said he had

been at home most of the day and into the evening. but on the stand, bobs housemates all said they couldn't vouch for him. >> do you ever remember seeing bob moses in the house? >> i would say no. i was really in the house. >> so on january 13th, you don't remember -- >> i don't remember seeing him at all. >> the prosecutor said bob's whereabouts couldn't be confirmed until he appeared on that restaurant video at 7 pm. the texas ranger told the jury analysts killed an hour earlier. >> i knew she had left for work, or office around five. >> 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 and his home. >> she was captured one more time as she was traveling north on charleston. >> even though the time stamp says 6:59 pm, 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? >> based on the fact that she was checking her mail, because the mail is sharon underneath her, i believe it soon after she arrives there inside of the garage. >> the police theory, that about 6 pm bob shot and seven times. six bullets found. he then spread for other shell casings on the garage floor. took anna's car. parked it if you blocks away. and toss in the cigarette but 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 at the actual scene of the murder. and then later in the car. that -- >> that didn't make any sense. that's right. it made it feel like this was more designed to throw off the investigation. put something else out there to say it could be somebody else. >> but cynthia walker said it

wasn't somebody elf. 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 being -- >> she dispelled the notion that bob and his relationship had been amicable. and told the jury about a harrowing night, about two years before the murder. >> in the winter of december, 2012, could you did you receive a phone call from anna? >> yes. >> 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. >> so far, the case was all circumstantial.

but the state was about to present evidence it said pointing directly at bob moses and only bob moses. when investigators first interviewed bob, the day after and is murder, they saw something. >> we notice he had a cut, or that he had a bandage that was covering a wound on his right hand. >> investigators remembered that bandage. when they saw those bloodstains inside anna's car. >> and i observed what appeared to be read, crimson stain, on the seat back of her car. >> bloodstains on the right side of the driver's seat. and a wound on bob's right-hand. >> it's another scene that is circling right now? >> yes, it is. >> and when this dna analyst testified, prosecution thought it was game, set, match. she told the jury those stains were a mixture of the any. analysts, of course. it was her car. but the other person?

he was sitting at the defense table. >> updating that mixture profile was one point soon six more likely of the dna came from anna moses and robert moses, that if the dna came from two unrelated unknown individuals. >> translation? it was bob moses's 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. >> the prosecutor told the jury that what pushed bob over the edge on that january night, with 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. at >> and then you've got bob moses. who is 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 what her finances are. the evidence points beyond a reasonable doubt to the man, the killer, who is looking at us right now. robert moses. >> now the defense was ready to pounce. two attorneys, both of them former prosecutors. we're about to try to rip the states case to shreds. and they would be asking the jury to consider this simple question. who ate the quesadilla? coming up -- the defense brought to you by tackle bell. bob's attorneys say a fast food rapper at the scene calls into question if the prosecution timeline. >> if she ate the quesadilla,

she would be killed at a couple hours later. if the killing happens two hours late, well then moses a sitting in the twin peaks on video. >> when "dateline" continues. nexgard is the flea and tick protection that's #1 with vets. it even prevents the infection that causes lyme disease. your vet trusts nexgard for her patients and her own dog. plus, its delicious beef flavor is #1 with dogs. ask your vet about nexgard. what can i du with less asthma? with dupixent, i can du more....beginners' yoga. plus, its delicious beef flavor is #1 with dogs. namaste... ...surprise parties. aww, you guys. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... ...for 3!... ...so i can du more of the things i love.

that he was innocent. he had not killed his ex wife. were violent towards your wife? did you ever hit her? >> i would never her anna. i would never hurt any woman. okay? >> and in a north texas courtroom, defense attorneys toby shook and cody skipper, argued the state got it wrong. >> the only side that is going to be left standing at the end of this is going to be this side. >> skipper said bob wasn't an angry ex who killed an a for money. he was the victim of an inept investigation. police were sloppy, the defense suggested.

and this big clues. remember, cops concluded this was in a robbery. but the credit card anna used at tackle bell wasn't in her purse. >> and pulling up the wallet so the record is clear. point me to where you indicated that anna moses had a missing credit card? >> we didn't find. it >> gave me the page and where that's mentioned. >> don't have it. >> a paragraph. >> don't have it. >> her credit card was missing from the purse. and there is no one who knew that in this entire investigative team, until they were asked on the witness stand. >> 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? >> they never said any detectives across the street to see if any projectiles had

struck the fence, the car, the house. >> he made out the open door of the garage. >> the shooting could've happened while that door was opened. and they projectiles could've gone out and struck somebody. they admitted they never bother to look. >> and that can of red bull? police said it was a red herring. that but the defense said it was another red hot clue with no follow-up. >> they tested for 20, it comes back to an unidentified male. not bob moses. not any of the other suspects. certainly not anna moses. >> shook argued dna on the can could've lead investigators to a whole other 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 anything else that came up, they didn't pay attention to. >> the defense also tried to knock down the testimony of the friend who said anna was afraid

of bob. >> she said, can i come to your house? i'm afraid he will kill me tonight. >> 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 to the house and still fixing things. repairs and pickings -- >> she was and telling you when bob comes to fix the water pipe that's leaking. you know, she's afraid of him, was she? >> no. >> then the defense tried to blow off the prosecutions time line. saying that video from anna's neighbor was hardly definitive. >> the only thing that you can tell this jury about that car was that it's a sedan, right? >> yes, sir. >> make, model, color. you have any information on that? >> no, sir. >> so, maybe that was an anna driving by that camera just before 6 pm. the defense reminded the jury of the last proven stop anna

had made that day, when she pulled up to that tackle bill drive-through at 5:37 pm. and they asked, who ate that quesadilla? >> just the packages found, in the trash, next to her body. >> so, she ate it or the killer eat it. >> she ate it or the color ate it. >> the defense called their own forensic expert. >> it's my opinion that if she had eaten the quesadilla, the chicken quesadilla, ten minutes prior to dying, that i would still be able to see chicken and either identifiable identifiable parts of that quesadilla in her stomach. >> but there was no mexican food in and istanbul. >> if she ate the quesadillas, she wasn't killed at 5:55 pm. she had to be killed a couple hours later. >> and if the states timeline was off, then bob moses was in the clear. >> if the killing happens two hours later, then bob moses, he's sitting in the twin peaks on video. okay? we know where he is.

we're not sure we're all the others people are. >> if the timeline is wrong, said the defense, the alibis of all the other potential suspects fall apart. the tell tale quesadilla was never found. if the killer eat it, presumably his or her danny might be all over that rapper. >> you could have skin cell dna on that. you could have touched dna. you could have fingerprinted on. that >> skipper asked the lead detective about that. >> you didn't submit that tackle bell trash for testing, correct? >> correct. >> you didn't submit for fingerprints. correct? >> correct. >> the defense portrayed bob as the victim of half big police work. but there was another victim that the jury was about to hear from. someone who had not only lost his mother, but could now lose his father, to. in a hushed courtroom, the defense called their star witness to the stand. >> my name is igor moses.

>> igor told the jury how he felt about his mother. >> you love your mother greatly, didn't you? >> yes. >> you mister? >> yes. >> and igor said he had no doubt his father was innocent. >> i do not believe my father killed my mother. >> 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. >> i'm following my mother's death, my grandmother asked both my father and i to move back into the house. >> and igor said his dad's action had nothing to do with. reed >> did you try to get the money, ask you to give him money from the account. that he could have? >> no. >> igor even try to discredit the states strongest evidence against his father. bob's blood in santa's car. >> is that the car we've been talking about? >> yes, that's my mom's car. >> his dad, he said, had often driven that car. and that bloodstain on the driver's seat was hardly fresh.

>> that one has been there for quite a long time. >> do you know how long? >> i mean, since high school i would imagine. there >> is no way to tell how long this blood was in that car. >> no. >> no. >> they couldn't age their danny. they don't know when the blood was put there. the dna folks cannot tell them how old that blood was. >> even more important, there was no evidence putting bob in the garage were anna was murdered. bob's guns were tested. none fired the fatal shot. and the murder weapon was never found. no witnesses. no dna or prince, or security video at the crime scene. there's nothing tying him to her body. >> no. >> shook offered that to the jury. >> why did you find the blood anywhere in that garage? why didn't you find it on her clothing? his blood? it doesn't make sense. >> this case, said the defense, was far from a slam dunk. >> you don't have answers to

anything in this case. all you have our questions. >> and the final question was, who would the jury believe? coming up -- the answer. >> the defendant rice. >> and the emotional fallout. >> all her friends were crying. we didn't know what to do to stop the crying. >> when "dateline" continues.

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 was innocent, i've got to bring someone to justice for her. don't let them get you into that. >> prosecutor cindy walker was not having any of it. >> ladies and gentlemen, the only guilt -- the only got the belongs anywhere is with this man right there, robert moses. never think twice with him, because nowhere else -- >> the prosecutor did not 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. >> now, it was up to those six men and six women to decide if bob moses stalked and shot his ex-wife in his garage that january night. they deliberated eight hours

that first day, going home for the night. the next day, with their morning coffee, they told the judge they were ready. >> i understand the jury has reached a verdict, is that correct? go ahead, and rise. the state of texas versus robert moses. we the jury find the defendant guilty of murder. >> bob moses got life in prison. in back of the courtroom, anna's friends faint prosecutors and police. >> i was happy that i could bring them in little bit of justice. >> at the defense table, bob was left alone with his thoughts. eager, who supported his father during the entire case was not in the courtroom. donna thinks the jury had it right. >> it is very sad that bob would not only ruin and destroy anna's life, he has also destroyed his own.

>> she says the verdict was a relief for anna's inner circle. >> all her friends cry, they were all crying. we did not know what to do to stop the crying. >> as for bob, even after the verdict, he continued to insist he was innocent. >> obviously, the verdict is 100% wrong. >> bob chose not to testify at his trial, so it took this opportunity to ask him some questions in jail that he did not face in court. >> how could your blood get in her car? >> because, because i was over there, working around the house. they are small, little stains, okay? they could have been there a week, a month, could have been there six months. >> why would you want to kill her? >> i do not know. i have no idea, it doesn't make any sense to me at all. if you look at all of the actual evidence that is out there, okay, first of all, they said that it was not a robbery, okay? but if you go through what happened in court, you will

find out that they completely missed that, okay? i did not do this and the person who did is still out there. and the frisco police department had given people a false sense of security over that. >> the day after the verdict, -- went to anna's favorite restaurant. >> i went and sat there, i had my breakfast right there, at the table where i met her last. so, just feeling her presence and in a way saying, there is some closure, now. i believe in life after death, so i am hoping to see her sometime. >> she remembers the little moments, like anna's russian accent and her troubled with the pesky nuances of american english. >> she used to say, then this afternoon i go store. and i said anna, go to the store. she says oh, it is not necessary, it is so silly, not necessary. i go store. [laughs] >> and anna will continue
