kicked him in the nuts, it it wouldn t happen. you believe that this affair is the reason that your son is no longer with us well, yes, if he didn t come into their lives tom would be alive. reporter: in court, prosecutors portrayed gil, not just as a man desperately in love, but also as someone capable of outrageous lies. along with those anonymous text messages gil sent to tom about the affair, jurors also learned he sent texts to linda, posing as a woman named samantha. linda received some disturbing anonymous text messages from a person samantha telling her that tom and she, samantha, were having sex wild sex. reporter: and that wasn t the only fiction gil created. linda testified gil even told her he was in the c-i-a. he had an i.d. card and he said that he sometimes would put trackers in people s mouths?
turns confronting gill. they told him they had a video proving his suv was at the scene. if i look at you and tell you i know you were there. i think you are lying to me, totally. were you 100% sure that that was his white suv? was i 100% sure? i was 100% sure, but i could not physically give you a license plate to confirm that, no. reporter: and when investigators asked gil for his alibi i was home alone. okay. i m always home alone. i live alone. reporter: he was all alone? all alone.
he even bought her a ring. we were having dinner and he proposed, and i said, i can t. how did he take that? well, i know. i know. i know you have a lot to get through, but, you know. i said, yeah, you are a little premature with that. did part of you want to say yes? i think in that moment i probably would have if i if i was single, yeah, i would have. it looked to investigators like gil was growing impatient, maybe eager to get tom out of the way. remember those texts to tom? she told police they came from gil. when she found out, she confronted ohim. i was absolutely furious. what did you say to him? i just screamed at him like, who in the hell do you think you are? why would younk do this? very devious. very, very. according to linda, gil cried, said he only did it because he felt tom should know the truth.
she said he begged for forgiveness and even threatened to harm himself. tom felt h bad that he felt suicidal. some was that kind of guy, you know? i knowf this is a really crazy situation we re in, but i m not going to let him kill himself over it. work this out somehow. linda said she was still worried that gil was suicidal. that s why she decided to postpone telling him the affair was over until after the holidays. she seemed sincere, but investigators had to wonder if linda and gil plotted together to get rid of tom. coming up, linda under the microscope. she took a polygraph? yes. h? passed? i was home alone. this isn t the strongest alibi. that s no alibi. when the good husband continues.bi continues. how can i handle one more thing?
it around or anything or take it out. and he says, well, you know, gil was in the c.i.a. i was like, no, i i i didn t know that. he goes, oh, yeah did you believe that? no. and then, he pulled out an id that said, the c.i.a. on top of it. it had gil s picture on it and his name. and then, it had this m badge in there that said, special officer. the badge was was obviously, you know, from walmart or or kmart or something like that. it was definitely a fake. reporter: nick says he refused to participate and never heard about the plan to scare tom again. you have to wonder what what a juror makes out of all this. reporter: reporter james nani covered it for the local times herald-record. they re hearing about a love triangle, and poisoning, and death and homicide, and a dentist, and emails, and the c.i.a. reporter: police later found the fake cia i.d. on gil s computer and tacked on felony forgery charges. and on a computer server in gil s office,
