He knew an awful lot about her routines, and who she dated. Reporter the one who hacked her. He is trying to get into her Bank Accounts, her emails. Reporter and a third, who talked to police, then to himself inside the drawer was a letter in russian. A blonde beauty, with a dark secret. There were all kinds of things in annas life that she didnt tell anybody about. She did not. Reporter of all the places a beautiful, bright, young russian might end up, frisco, texas might not make your list. But thats where anna kichatova 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 anna after church one afternoon. I was delighted to meet someone who was more, worldly and sophisticated than the runofthemill, suburban american you meet. We just had that connection. I cannot describe it in words. I dont think i have words to describe what i we felt. Reporter like a blossom to bees, the sweetnatured anna attracted a circle of admirers. Safe to say you had a crush on her . You could probably say that, yeah, at some point. I dont think she ever had a problem. Everybody loved her. Well, maybe not everyone. Reporter so many people would soon become potential suspects, when someones love and admiration, turned toxic and deadly. Somewhere in that circle of fans, danger was waiting. But if anna saw it coming, she kept it to herself. And so shed listened to your really deepest secrets but she wouldnt she did. Give you any of her own. No. Reporter her friend donna was able to glean a little about annas 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. Reporter the marriage didnt last long, and the husband dropped out of the picture so there was anna, 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, whod been invited to visit her english class. He was 19 years older. She seemed real nice, real friendly. And had a great smile. And so i just said, you know, would you like to have lunch . Reporter the answer was yes. Lunch turned to dinner, one thing led to another. After i left, we communicated. We emailed. Before finally, you know, said, hey, id like you to come over. You know, and you know, possibly we have, you know, relationship here together. Reporter it was october, 1998. She came without her son. She told me she wanted to kinda, you know, check things out before she brought her son over here. So she was here. And you know, we got married in december of that year. Reporter two months later, igor came to united states, and suddenly bob had a family. Reporter the onetime bachelor was smitten with his young wife and his new fouryearold son. Little boy. You know you know, runnin around, have fun, you know, he was fantastic. Reporter bob formally adopted igor. He was my son. You know, i you know, i wouldnt consider him anything else. Reporter and he meant it. In 2002 fate dealt the family a sucker punch when igor suffered what could have been, a catastropic health crisis, cancer. But with bobs help he pulled through. I care about that child. So ah, we did everything possible. Reporter 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 and she met with me and we clicked instantly. What made you guys click like that . I was new, so 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. Reporter 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, thats my specialty, so it just sort of hit, you know. Good, good buddies. Reporter anna was big on selfimprovement. She was taking a course in public speaking, when she met jerry caspell, and he joined her crowd of admirers. We used to kinda tease each other. I said, you used to be my enemy. You were from a communist country. And she thought that was pretty funny, yeah. Reporter in donna ross, anna found a kindred spirit. Once a professional ballet 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. Reporter as annas world got bigger, her life with bob began to wither. The marriage that had survived a childs illness faltered over time, and anna surprised everyone when she asked bob for a divorce in 2012. For igors sake 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 annas age. He is a professor at the university of dallas. Reporter and annas new man. Good looking, age appropriate, a mildmannered 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 didnt show for work. Michael said he couldnt 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 . Usually go to the house and find, you know, somebody there who didnt wanna talk to the person whos trying to find them. Or you know, theyve gone somewhere and just not told somebody. But this was different. Yes, sir. T your pets from fleas and ticks with frontline plus for dogs and frontline plus for cats. Its two killer ingredients work fast and keep working all month long preventing new flea infestations on your pet. Frontline plus. The number 1 name in flea and tick protection. Lets see, aleve is than tylenol extra strength. And last longer with fewer pills. So why am i still thinking about this . Ill take aleve. Aleve. Proven better on pain. With a lot of other young couples. Then we noticed something. Strange. Oh, could you, uh, make me a burger . Poof youre a burger. [ laughter ] everyone acts like their parents. You have a tattoo. Yes. Fun. Do you not work . So, what kind of mower you got, seth . I dont know. Some kid comes over. We pay him to do it. But its not all bad. Someone even showed us how we can save money by bundling home and auto with progressive. Progressive cant protect you from becoming your parents. But we can protect your home and auto. Progressive cant protect you from becoming your parents. That theres a lobster i in our hot tub . T. Lobster oh, you guys. Theres a jet oh. I needed this. No, i cant believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on our Car Insurance with geico. We could have been doing this a long time ago. So, you guys staying at the hotel . Yeah, we just got married. Oh hoho congratulations thank you. Yeah, im afraid of commitment. And being boiled alive. Oh, shoot. Believe it. Geico could save you 15 or more on Car Insurance. That guys the worst. You wouldnt accept from any one else. So why accept it from your allergy pills . Most pills dont finish the job because they dont relieve nasal congestion. Flonase allergy relief is different. Flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills dont. Flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. Most pills only block one. And 6 is greater than 1. Start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. Flonase. This changes everything. Reporter it was late morning, january 14th, 2015, when anna moses neighbor, David Stafford, thought he spotted trouble across the street at annas house. And had my blinds open. And i noticed that Police Officers came. And were knocking on the the door. So i came out and asked what was going on. And they said that they were following up on a well check. Reporter annas boyfriend, michael stodnick, had called police to say he was worried. He said hed gone to her house the night before to pick her up for a date, but she didnt answer the door. And now her colleagues were saying she hadnt shown up for work. Frisco sgt. Jay reim was one of the officers checking the home. No signs of any type of forced entry, anywhere. Reporter which means, also, you dont really have any excuse to go inside. Correct. Yeah, we didnt we didnt have any reason to go kick in somebodys door because there didnt seem to be anything out of the norm. Reporter the doors were locked, so sgt. Reim asked some officers to find annas 20yearold son to help them get into the house. Igor was by then a Student Living at the university where his mother worked. They show up with the son and the key and the alarm code. You gettin any kind of a read off the son . I didnt talk to the son. He sat in the car. Reporter and thats where igor waited while police went into his moms house. A member of sgt reims team was wearing a body camera. The first thing we wanted to see if 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, hey, theres no car. Reporter but then they looked down. And what they saw was beyond bad. Anna moses, whose sunny presence had touched so many lives, was lying dead on the garage floor. I was standin in the laundry room. And like, is she is she deceased . And 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 the scene pristine for the crime scene and and detectives to arrive. Reporter investigators were there within minutes. One of them was Reuben Mankin of the Texas Rangers. My initial observation was just from coming in through the foyer was that it was a clean house. Then i made a beeline for the the laundry room, which was reporter wait one sec. Clean meaning didnt look like shed interrupted a burglary . Thats correct. Thats correct. Reporter i mean, there was no stuff missing, drawers pulled open . Right. Reporter Something Else was telling on the floor of the garage was annas purse, which still held 300. And nothing else seemed to be missing, except annas car. Ranger mankin surveyed the scene with lead detective brian tschudy. Thats when we notice some shell casings in the garage. Um, just multiple shell casings. Reporter the casings easily identified the murder weapon as a. 22 and a careful look at annas body told them a little more. I observed her to be lyin on her back. She was heavily clothed still wearin, you know, her jacket and a couple of scarves. I i saw what appeared to be a bullet hole in her in her scarf that was wrapped around her neck. And thats when i observed a hole in her neck. Reporter so she was killed presumably by somebody who got into the house and waited for her in the garage . Possibly. Yeah. Or, um she opens the garage door, she pulls in and somebody runs in there, shoots and kills her and takes the car. Reporter all right, so so an alert goes out for the car, right . Correct. Yes, sir. Reporter there were so many scenarios under consideration. This didnt feel like a burglary or a carjacking. The medical examiner outlined annas cause of death. He was able to document that she had been shot six times. Reporter they found a seventh bullet in annas clothing that hadnt penetrated. In fact, it fell onto 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. Yeah. Reporter and fired a bunch of times . Correct. Reporter the trajectory of the bullets suggested anna had gotten out of her car, perhaps seen her assailant, and started to turn away. She doesnt go down with those three rounds. And thats where you have the the followin barrage of bullets on her back, um, that are square in her back. So, like, if we startle you and the doors right there yeah. And you go to turn to run to that door, youre gonna catch it left to right. Reporter there was Something Else and it was, at the very least, odd. Anna may have been shot seven times, but police found eleven 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, anywhere . No, sir. No, sir. Reporter thats kinda weird. Yeah. Reporter right . Yes, sir. Reporter so now the detectives turned 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. Hey, who are you . Oh, hey jeff, im a car thief. What . im here to steal your car because, well, thats my job. What . What . . What . laughing what . . What . what . [crash] what . haha, it happens. And if youve got cutrate Car Insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. So get allstate. And be better protected from mayhem. Like me. You know reliable support when you have it, and that dependability is what we want to give our customers. At comcast, its my job to constantly monitor our network. Prevent problems, and to help provide the most Reliable Service possible. My name is tanya, i work in the Network Operations center for comcast. We are working to make things simple, easy and awesome. Reporter the bulletriddled body of 43yearold anna moses had been found in her garage in a suburb of dallas. Now sgt. Jay reim had the difficult task of breaking the news to her only child. We needed to notify the son. Hes right there at the curb. Hes at the curb. So we couldnt not tell him anything. Reporter after helping police get into the house, 20yearold igor moses was waiting outside, sitting in a car. Whats your name . Igor. Igor . Im jay. Hi. Reporter sgt. Reims bodycam was switched on, but as you can see, it wasnt framed properly. His words, however, were direct and to the point. Theres really no easy way to to tell you whats going on. Okay. Okay . Um your mom is deceased. Mmhmmm. Okay . Um, so right now, weve got to do a lot of things to try to figure out how why mmhmmm. Uh, whats going on. Reporter youve done that kind of notification before, havent you . A lot. Reporter and theyre not pleasant. No. Worst thing to do. Reporter was this one different . It it was different in the response that i received. Reporter in fact, there was basically no response, according to reim. Just a blank stare. Did he cry . Was he emotional . Not at all. Reporter their conversation, if thats what this was, continued. Is your moms car usually here . Yeah. Okay. Is it not here . No. Reporter thats when igor asked a question that seemed to come totally out of left field is she in one piece . Yeah. I mean, i i i dont know exactly. And then that thats what we gotta try to figure out. Reporter is she in one piece . Have you ever heard anybody respond like that . Never. Reporter to a death notification. Never. Reporter but it wouldnt be the only response that left sgt. Reim scratching his head. So ill let you talk to a detective and and well go from there, if youre good with that. I do have class. Even though i know thats kind of insignificant at the moment. Okay. Yeah, i think i think you can get an excuse for that. Reporter igor never made it to class that night. Instead, he was brought here to the Frisco Police department for a formal interview. Investigators had already been briefed about his odd reaction to the news of his mothers death. Later, hed tell her friends he didnt want to have a funeral for her. And also this that whoever had killed anna moses should be forgiven. Igor said he was in class the night his mom was murdered. But after interviewing him for five hours, investigators were still wondering about his unusual reaction. Especially when they learned that right after the interview, that very same night, igor was in the gym playing a game called wallyball with friends. By no means did he seem to be grieving. Just kinda added to us needin to dig a little bit deeper and find out, you know, what was goin on. Reporter this is, what, hours after his mothers been found dead . Thats correct. Reporter and when detectives did dig deeper, they discovered what could be a motive. Anna had a 750,000 Life Insurance policy with just a single beneficiary igor. Hes a person of interest. Igor being the direct beneficiary of a large sum of cash, yes, thats someone were gonna look at. Reporter not long after annas body was found, her friend, donna, read the awful news on facebook from a posting by another friend. That had to be terribly shocking to hear that shed been killed. Completely. Completely, because i didnt know anyone who wished anna any harm. Nobody. I just i couldnt imagine it who didnt love anna . Reporter and whod hate her . Exactly. Reporter donna said she could not picture igor as the killer. Never. Never. Never. I just know igor is not capable of murder. Reporter and another friend, jayshree bihari, remembered how close anna and igor always were. She just adored him. Her son was like the center of her life. Reporter what did she tell you about her son . You know, she just said that, i want him to pursue his passion, which is in music. And she would always go to his concerts. Reporter igor played guitar in a christian rock band, combining two big interests music and religion. He was studying speech pathology at the u. T. Dallas, the same school where his mother worked. She used to even wash his clothes on weekends and when he was at the dorm. Reporter hes in college and shes still doin his laundry. Yes. She will take all his clothes, wash them. Iron them. Get him some food, homemade food and stuff like that. Reporter the last time donna saw anna, anna couldnt contain her excitement about travel plans shed made with igor. She was telling me about her wealthy aunt giving her money so she and igor could go on vacation, and she was really looking forward to that. Reporter but as much as annas friends believed in igor, they still werent sure 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. Reporter day one of the investigation, and igor was just the first of the men in annas life Police Wanted to talk to. The list would be long. And on it would be some names that would qualify as secret admirers, relationships anna moses had never shared with even her closest friends. We cast a broad net. Reporter including her exhusband. C
