south, frank seemed to cut off his own family >> he called me in may, on mother's day, and said that can't talk long. you know, she's monitoring m calls. >> none of that fit the profil of a loving wife, or later a grieving widow when soon after frank's death, angelina moved back up north and left behind some of frank' things >> we found it very odd that she took his dress shoes fro the service, some of his uniform stuff, some of his medals, and stuff like tha that he had, and they were all in the trash can >> she threw them away >> the things in the trash wer really shocking, things that you think you'd keep from th husband that you loved >> all that was curious, but there was one thing above al others that made detective suspect angelina might b involved in frank's death, something straight out o homicide 101 it was the way angelina kept bringing up frank's life insurance.

>> frank and i sat down when w got married and said look, w need to cover our butts, i something should happen to either one of us, we need to take care of each other. >> how long after frank died did angelina call the insuranc company to enter a claim >> roughly within eight hours. >> so the same day >> same morning. >> but now, the insurance is like, well, they probably won' pay me because it's so new until the coroner says what th cause of death is. well what do i do, sleep in my car till november? >> as the days went on, and th coroner still didn't rule, angelina grew more and mor impatient. >> i have a question >> go ahead. >> did you guys get anything a all from the coroner >> angelina kept calling, an steinwand kept recording those calls. >> no word from the coroner yet? >> no, well, they don't have anything yet it takes time for this type of stuff. >> oh. >> you know, unless they kno what they're looking for >> detectives saw an opportunity.

remember, they needed the same thing angelina did, just for different reasons. >> we need a cause of death, and at this time, we'r thinking that she knows what that cause of death is >> they thought angelina might be telling the truth about one thing, that frank had been poisoned and they also knew what frank' sister had told them, somethin very strange that angelina had said to her. >> she says there are lots o ways you can poison someone. she said, we had a flower ou here called oleander >> oleander thrives in war climates like southern california the leaves and flowers are toxic, but only deadly in larg quantities, or of the poison i somehow concentrated and angelina seemed to know ho to do that >> she said, you can make a te out of that, you can make soup out of it. and you know, it's a poison. when we're ridding in th limousine, she pointed right out, she said those ar oleander bushes. >> detectives found oleander bushes in another place. angelina and frank's backyard.

now they wondered, since angelina was so eager to get a death certificate and collec life insurance, would she slip up and tell them oleander wa what killed frank? >> they spoke with her again and again, all the while telling her they were gatherin evidence against frank's coworker, jane holloway. >> we keep asking her, angelina, what poison did holloway giv frank? >> it could be anything. it could be the flowers on the road it could be something -- >> the flowers on the road >> yeah, those - what the heck are those? you know, they grow in the middle of the highway. i think they're -- >> at this point, we believe she knows exactly what it is >> she's trying to get you t say it >> she would rather i thin have us say it, and of course, we would rather have her say it >> try as they might, they couldn't get angelina to say the word, oleander still, she kept calling them

about chad, and one da delivered another clue straigh to investigators someone had called her she said, and told her something big >> okay, it was about mayb five or ten after eight. because i was on my way back from dropping my daughter of at school. i would get this call, and i was blocked. they said, they wanted to tell me what was going on, becaus they had a lot of respect fo frank. but they couldn't tell me wh they were, because they know how holloway is. and they said, you need to kno a conversation i had wit holloway he had said if they do try and track down, they can't pin me. because they said, - >> they can't pin me can't pin me, it started breaking up and all i heard was, ask them about antifreeze. >> antifreeze, not oleander? >> not oleander this time? >> had antifreeze even been on your radar at this point

>> at this point, no i don belive it had been >> but naming a new poison was only one interesting detail in this conversation. remember, angelina had said th anonymous informant called her shortly after 8 am >> you got her phone records >> i got her phone records yes. >> and >> lo and behold, there had no been any calls anywhere near incoming or outgoing, to angelina's phone at that time. >> in trying once again to implicate chad holloway, angelina had implicate herself. now, detectives again went t see chad, this time, to talk about angelina >> angelina rodriguez, that wa the last person that i eve wanted to see, ever wanted t hear her name, have anything t do with whatsoever >> and then the investigator say to you, we want you to hel build a case against her and you say, i'm in. >> and you better believe it >> coming up, we defended her.

had tried to cast suspicion on frank's friend and coworker, chad holloway. chad, she said, was the killer but detectives didn't believ her, and instead, enlisted cha to help set a trap for her >> and the idea is what here >> she what kind of mistake sh may make >> they asked chad to call angelina while they listened in she had done her best to put chad in the gun sights of la enforcement. now came his chance to retur the favor. >> hello >> angelina? >> yes >> why did you tell the police that i poisoned frank with antifreeze >> who is this >> my main question, angelina, is how - >> how did you get my number >> angelina, i'm just wonderin how in the world - this could ruin my life! >> at one point you say, angelina you're gonna ruin m life

which actually, although it' maybe part of the script for that call, it's kind of true given what she tried to do t you before >> it was, but inside i knew that it's the other way around you're not gonna ruin my lif anymore, it's your life that's gonna be ruined because of this >> you know what you need to call the investigator i'm ending this conversation >> okay, angelina. >> then, within a minute o chad hanging up, angelin called the cops, and gave them quite a different version of the call they had just liste to >> i just got a phone call fro holloway >> he called you >> yes, he said, how can you - a detective just told me tha they think i killed frank with antifreeze >> that's what we told him >> and he says, he says, you know, i wouldn't go spreadin these things or else and i'm like, what are you talking about? i said, i don't need to be

talking to you and he says, well, they'll never be able to catch m anyway, but, he says, you know you gotta watch your back, h says you better watch your back >> oh god! okay, okay >> i am scared to death. >> what angelina should have been scared of was that th cops were onto her two obvious lies this one about what chad supposedly said to her, and th previous phantom call abou antifreeze but angelina still hadn' admitted anything, at least no to detectives. then they found a good frien of angelina's, a confidant named palmyra. she told the cops that jus months after the wedding angelina was already bored wit frank, and cheating on him >> they were sitting around, i guess like girls do, and talking about killing thei husbands, and joking of ho they would do it >> as girls do >> as girls probably all do. my wife is probably doing righ now. >> the friend quoted angelin as saying that she didn't want

to divorce frank, because he'd just bought life insurance >> there's another conversatio on the telephone with palmyra, angelina told her she wa making a milkshake for frank a special milkshake for him, and palmyra questioned why frank was sick, and angelina told her not yet >> not yet >> not yet >> of course, angelina had n idea what the cops knew. she thought they were stil investigating chad she was still happy to hel them do that for example, detectives told angelina, they couldn't figure out how chad knew when frank was coming to angel gate he would have had to have know when, they told her, so that h could have his poison ready. >> and then, miraculously -- >> miraculously a fax shows up it was an angel gate roster fo the day of frank's visit, with frank's name conspicuously written in

>> this is a fax that came right to the sheriff's homicide? >> correct >> that was convenient >> very convenient >> the fax did not include the sender's name, but it di include a clear message. >> this is the cover sheet t the fax that was receive anonymously at sherrif's homicide why is chad still free chad, never knew how har angelina had pushed the cops t arrest him >> wow, this is got me shaking >> five months after her husband's death, police droppe in at angelina's house >> good morning. >> angelina thinks their nex stop will be chad's place. t won't. >> holloway couldn't have done this >> for the next 35 minutes steinwand and his partner trie to get angelina to give it up, they lay out the facts >> the only information, and the only person that's supplie

any information that frank was poisoned was you no one else knew that frank wa poisoned only you only you knew oleander, in addition to that, antifreeze nobody in this entir investigation told us abou antifreeze >> they tell her the poisons were still in frank stomach, which meant he ingested them days after his return from angel gate, and within hours o his death. meaning angelina was the onl one who could have given the to him and detectives tell her that all along while she thought sh was playing them, they wer playing her. >> this entire time, we have used everything you said, an followed up on everythin you've done and said, and quit frankly, it is hard to remembe all those lies >> angelina told them they wer

wrong. >> i didn't kill my husband. >> okay. you need to stand up >> are you arresting me? >> yes, you are under arrest for the murder of fran rodriguez. >> no! i didn't kill my husband oh no! >> we also have a search warrent for your apartment >> i swear i didn't kill m husband. >> angelina, we can prove that you did. >> angelina rodriguez migh seem beaten, but she had a few more punches left in her just wait. >> please, i didn't kill m husband. i swear. >> coming up, a secret pla from inside prison and, another undercover sting. >> something's happened to you friend >> when''the devil i disguise''continues.

i'm craig melvin detectives continued piecing together the profile of someon they thought was a cold bloode killer their investigation yielde answers and a question, coul she have murdered before here's josh mankiewicz with th conclusion of''the devil i disguise'' >> angelina rodriguez wa charged with the murder of her husband frank. it turned out, that might no

be the worst thing she had eve done, or ever would do >> you think that if they made it look like a suicide, they'd be bright enough to figure out a way to do that >> what you are hearing is the wheels of a mind turning that' angelina now in jail, speaking through the air vents with her neighbor in solitary >> they can do it, robbery gon bad, or they can make it loo like a boyfriend gone mad. >> angelina apparently believe the statements of her friend palmyra about how angelina was bored with frank and wanted life insurance payout, were th most damaging evidence against her. so it seemed angelina made a decision, hire someone to ge rid of her friend. >> this is angelina inside the county jail trying to set up a hit on palmyra outside >> correct >> to keep her from testifying >> correct >> the inmate angelina was

talking with turned her in and soon, detectives wer recording angelina's conversations. >> i think - you know that would do it real quick. you know when i'm saying >> if that sounds cold blooded consider this. angelina made clear, she'd hel care for palmyra's children, after that is, she had their mother killed. >> if it came down to it, would adopt her kids that's how much i love her kids, but i don't love her anymore does that make sense >> so you'll take care of th kids, but she got to go? >> yeah. that was what i was thinking >> police told palmyra wha angelina was up to, and aske for her help this time, they got really creative >> basically, staged her death we had her on her bed, in he house, with a fake bullet hole fake blood >> the picture is pretty convincing >> it was very convincing, yes

>> they sent an undercover cop posing as a bad guy, wit pictures in hand to visi angelina in jail >> something's happened to you friend okay >> who what >> okay. >> where did you get those from? >> you need to contact you family okay >> oh my god >> angelina's initial response was, on my god, oh my god. i was only kidding >> i thought she was kidding >> shortly thereafter it was oh my god, i'm going home. i am so ready to go home >> you believe she killed he husband? >> no doubt. >> and she tried to kill a witness against her? >> right >> anybody else? >> her baby. >> in the course of thei investigation into frank's death, detectives found ou that in 1993, angelina's daughter alicia choked on he

pacifier and died. they also learned that angelin sued the manufacturer, and settled for more than $700,000 what's more, she collected lif insurance on her 13 month ol baby, just as she had tried to do with frank. detectives reviewed th evidence, and came to believ alicia's death was no accident >> you were confident after an investigation that tha pacifier was tampered with that maybe didn't do it, didn' come apart naturally >> absolutely. >> angelina says she did not kill her baby, and she was never charged with that. she did stand trial for th murder of frank rodriguez, where a prosecution expert testified that angelin poisoned frank at least twice. first with oleander which made him sick enough to go to the er, but not to kill him. then, when she was giving hi those fluids the doctor ordered, she was dosing them with antifreeze, which was fatal. the jury found angelina guilty of first degree murder for

financial gain, but couldn't reach a verdict on whether she tried to kill that witness and, in the sentencing phase the judge allowed the jury t hear evidence implicatin angelina in her daughter's death. then, the jury agreed on a sentence >> she shall be put to death >> even while facing a death sentence, angelina seeme unfazed. she addressed the court, but admitted only to some errors >> i broke and made a fe terrible stupid mistakes which i regret very much, we all mak mistakes, i just picked th wrong time to make mine. but murder is not one on tha list >> frank rodriguez thought angelina was the god fearing moment of his dreams he was wrong tom fuller thought she was a nurturing mother who would protect their daughter, he'l never know for sure if he wa lured into a terrible mistake. but, chad holloway understands he knows now just how clos

pure evil came to him. he says he's let it go, with the gratitude that unlike hi friend frank, he at leas survived with his reputation and hi life intact. >> people need to know how evi angelina was how many lives she ruined to try and get a little bit o money. and she wasn't going to stop a nothing until she got what she wanted i want angelina to know, you did not ruin me, you didn' ruin me at all >> in the bible, we are warned that satan disguises himself a an angel of light, and sometimes, he is pretty good a it >> that is all for this editio of dateline. i'm craig melvin thank you for watching >> as we begin
