1
00:00:04,967 --> 00:00:06,600
[phone ringing]
2
00:00:11,967 --> 00:00:14,467
This is clearly
a targeted attack.
3
00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:18,700
Anna Lisa was a beautiful,
stunning woman.
4
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:20,300
Anybody that spoke
about her
5
00:00:20,367 --> 00:00:22,467
always spoke about how nice
she was.
6
00:00:22,467 --> 00:00:26,400
[man] She was stabbed
in the face, in the neck
and in the chest.
7
00:00:26,467 --> 00:00:29,467
Who could have been
this vicious to do this
8
00:00:29,467 --> 00:00:30,567
to this woman?
9
00:00:30,567 --> 00:00:34,400
The word was that this was
probably someone she knew.
10
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:36,800
This is about winning
and losing to people
like this.
11
00:00:36,867 --> 00:00:39,200
[man 2] I knew that
he was lying to us
about something.
12
00:00:39,266 --> 00:00:42,467
Clearly, there was so
much more going on.
13
00:00:42,467 --> 00:00:45,467
We just had to figure out
what it was.
14
00:00:46,767 --> 00:00:48,600
[dial tone beeps]
15
00:00:50,266 --> 00:00:54,600
[female narrator] Every day
in North America, dozens
of people are murdered.
16
00:00:54,667 --> 00:00:57,200
The key to solving
the toughest
of these homicides
17
00:00:57,266 --> 00:01:00,667
lies in the final 24 hours
of the victim's life.
18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,967
To crack the case,
19
00:01:02,967 --> 00:01:06,500
detectives must reconstruct
that critical timeline.
20
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:09,266
The minutes and hours
containing evidence
21
00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:12,867
that can help unlock
the mystery
and catch the killer.
22
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,000
Located just 34 miles
northeast of wealthy
Manhattan,
23
00:01:26,066 --> 00:01:29,600
Stamford, Connecticut
has become a white collar
hub of its own.
24
00:01:29,667 --> 00:01:32,867
Stamford is a very
vibrant city.
25
00:01:32,867 --> 00:01:36,266
Its motto is,
"The city that works."
26
00:01:36,266 --> 00:01:40,367
It's just very affluent,
full of young professionals.
27
00:01:40,367 --> 00:01:45,600
The downtown is just saturated
with Fortune 500 companies,
28
00:01:45,667 --> 00:01:47,867
startups, restaurants.
29
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:52,467
You have waterways
and suburbs.
30
00:01:52,467 --> 00:01:54,200
It's a beautiful place
to live.
31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,867
[female narrator] But for one
resident, that beautiful
place turns ugly.
32
00:02:01,867 --> 00:02:04,400
Just afternoon on
a chilly November day,
33
00:02:04,467 --> 00:02:07,166
a woman dials 911
from the marina.
34
00:02:15,066 --> 00:02:18,200
It is a female caller relating
that her neighbor
35
00:02:18,266 --> 00:02:21,567
was attacked
and she saw a male.
36
00:02:21,567 --> 00:02:22,967
She can hear some screaming.
37
00:02:28,266 --> 00:02:30,100
And she gives an address.
38
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,100
The address that the 911
caller gave
39
00:02:38,166 --> 00:02:40,667
was an industrial area
and there were
40
00:02:40,667 --> 00:02:42,900
no residences there.
41
00:02:42,967 --> 00:02:46,867
So the dispatcher is trying
to confirm that address
42
00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:51,100
and all of a sudden,
the 911 caller hung up.
43
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,567
[dial tone beeps]
44
00:02:54,567 --> 00:02:57,367
[female narrator] Based on
the location of
the Marina payphone,
45
00:02:57,367 --> 00:03:00,166
the dispatcher locates
a similar sounding address
46
00:03:00,166 --> 00:03:01,867
less than a mile away.
47
00:03:02,867 --> 00:03:07,300
123 Harbor Drive,
which is in a section
48
00:03:07,367 --> 00:03:10,467
of the city called Chapin,
a very affluent area,
49
00:03:10,467 --> 00:03:13,967
not an area that we consider
to be high crime.
50
00:03:13,967 --> 00:03:17,467
Uniformed police officer
pulls up to the condo.
51
00:03:19,467 --> 00:03:22,300
He tries the door
which is unlocked
52
00:03:22,367 --> 00:03:27,000
and he opens up that door
and is now looking at a...
53
00:03:27,066 --> 00:03:31,000
just a tremendously violent
scene in the foyer.
54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,600
There is a body of a female
lying on her back.
55
00:03:37,667 --> 00:03:39,967
[female narrator] The young
woman is dead.
56
00:03:39,967 --> 00:03:41,500
[Alison] There's a lot
of blood.
57
00:03:41,567 --> 00:03:42,834
She has been attacked.
58
00:03:42,834 --> 00:03:45,300
There's a dumbbell nearby
that has obviously been used
59
00:03:45,367 --> 00:03:47,300
in the attack because
it has blood on it.
60
00:03:47,367 --> 00:03:50,500
The responding officer starts
notifying dispatch
61
00:03:50,567 --> 00:03:52,667
and also starts
crime scene security.
62
00:03:52,667 --> 00:03:54,567
In other words,
no one's coming in.
63
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:56,567
He's just shutting down
the entire area.
64
00:03:56,567 --> 00:04:00,066
[camera shutter clicks]
65
00:04:00,066 --> 00:04:03,066
[female narrator] Detective
Greg Holt with the Stamford
Police Department's
66
00:04:03,066 --> 00:04:07,200
Major Crime Squad is tasked
to lead the investigation.
67
00:04:07,266 --> 00:04:11,667
I arrive on scene,
the CSI team
68
00:04:11,667 --> 00:04:13,900
start to process
the crime scene,
69
00:04:13,967 --> 00:04:15,400
start to process the body.
70
00:04:15,467 --> 00:04:18,400
They're documenting it
with photography,
71
00:04:18,467 --> 00:04:20,400
with measurements.
72
00:04:23,467 --> 00:04:25,200
They're dusting for prints.
73
00:04:25,266 --> 00:04:27,667
There is overturned furniture.
74
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:30,367
There's potted plants,
potting soil everywhere.
75
00:04:31,767 --> 00:04:35,200
The victim was stabbed
in the face, in the neck
76
00:04:35,266 --> 00:04:37,800
and in the chest.
77
00:04:37,867 --> 00:04:41,500
The stab wounds were
interesting because
78
00:04:41,567 --> 00:04:45,200
you have that one in the face
which could have occurred
79
00:04:45,266 --> 00:04:50,400
during a struggle
or it could be there
to disfigure that victim.
80
00:04:56,567 --> 00:04:59,467
The victim is
Anna Lisa Raymundo
81
00:04:59,467 --> 00:05:03,100
and this is her condo.
82
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,800
[female narrator]
That 32-year-old woman
is an executive
83
00:05:05,867 --> 00:05:07,967
at a pharmaceutical
company.
84
00:05:07,967 --> 00:05:14,000
A hair was located laying
on the victim's chest,
85
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,467
a single hair
that was collected.
86
00:05:17,467 --> 00:05:21,700
One of the detectives
had entered the powder room,
87
00:05:21,767 --> 00:05:26,700
and he noticed a minute drop
of blood just below
88
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:29,266
one of the handles
to the faucet.
89
00:05:29,266 --> 00:05:33,200
And that was collected
for future processing.
90
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:37,400
There is no forced entry
visible at the front door.
91
00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:42,000
It was more likely that
the perpetrator had knocked
92
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,467
on the door and the victim
allowed the perp
93
00:05:45,467 --> 00:05:46,700
into the house.
94
00:05:46,767 --> 00:05:48,800
Why would you let someone
into the house
95
00:05:48,867 --> 00:05:50,500
if you didn't know them?
96
00:05:51,967 --> 00:05:54,467
[female narrator] After
their initial review
of the crime scene,
97
00:05:54,467 --> 00:05:57,467
detectives have an idea
what happened next.
98
00:06:01,467 --> 00:06:04,800
[Greg] It is clear to us
it's a blitz attack
right there.
99
00:06:04,867 --> 00:06:06,367
It doesn't go upstairs.
100
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,667
It was obvious that she fought
for her life
101
00:06:11,667 --> 00:06:14,000
literally in that foyer
102
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,166
and the perpetrator
grabbed the barbell
103
00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:18,767
and struck her with it.
104
00:06:18,767 --> 00:06:22,700
And that may have stunned
the victim momentarily.
105
00:06:22,767 --> 00:06:24,667
Got her down
and then stabbed her.
106
00:06:26,367 --> 00:06:28,800
When we see the wounds,
it was almost like
an overkill.
107
00:06:28,867 --> 00:06:32,667
She has hair ripped out,
there's stab wounds
all over her body.
108
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:34,467
So you're running things
through your head like
109
00:06:34,467 --> 00:06:37,367
who could have been
this vicious to do this
to this woman?
110
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,266
[female narrator] With
no immediate suspects,
detectives want to know
111
00:06:45,266 --> 00:06:48,467
who the 911 caller was
that identified herself
112
00:06:48,467 --> 00:06:50,200
as Anna Lisa's neighbor?
113
00:06:51,867 --> 00:06:55,300
[Greg] We immediately
sent down personnel
to that payphone
114
00:06:55,367 --> 00:06:57,867
half a mile
from the crime scene.
115
00:06:57,867 --> 00:07:03,400
It is a huge lead that
there was a actual eyewitness
116
00:07:03,467 --> 00:07:06,867
to at least the beginning
of this homicide.
117
00:07:06,867 --> 00:07:09,767
[female narrator] Police
process the payphone
for prints.
118
00:07:09,767 --> 00:07:11,767
At a restaurant close
to the phone,
119
00:07:11,767 --> 00:07:14,166
officers question patrons
and staff.
120
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:17,567
Did anyone see the mystery
woman who made the call?
121
00:07:17,567 --> 00:07:20,467
[Greg] Unfortunately,
customers were coming
and going,
122
00:07:20,467 --> 00:07:23,166
but no one saw anybody
on the phone
123
00:07:23,166 --> 00:07:26,066
and there was nothing
to gain of evidentiary value
124
00:07:26,066 --> 00:07:28,400
from the phone
or the receiver.
125
00:07:28,467 --> 00:07:31,066
[female narrator]
While forensics technicians
dig deeper
126
00:07:31,066 --> 00:07:32,433
into the crime scene,
127
00:07:32,433 --> 00:07:36,000
Detective Holt has the grim
task of notifying the victim's
128
00:07:36,066 --> 00:07:37,266
next of kin.
129
00:07:37,266 --> 00:07:40,000
Mr. and Mrs. Raymundo
are obviously
130
00:07:40,066 --> 00:07:42,266
completely stunned.
131
00:07:42,266 --> 00:07:44,066
[female narrator] Detectives
learn that Anna Lisa
132
00:07:44,066 --> 00:07:46,767
was a highly accomplished
and successful young woman.
133
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:49,500
[Eve] Anna Lisa was
a Harvard graduate.
134
00:07:49,567 --> 00:07:53,200
She went on to get
her Master's at Columbia
135
00:07:53,266 --> 00:07:55,166
and then she started
her career
136
00:07:55,166 --> 00:07:57,967
in the pharmaceutical
business.
137
00:07:57,967 --> 00:08:00,867
Anna Lisa not only was
very intelligent,
138
00:08:00,867 --> 00:08:04,000
but was very well liked.
She was very athletic.
139
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:06,000
[Alison] She was a beautiful,
stunning woman.
140
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,166
Anybody that spoke about her
always spoke about
141
00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:09,467
how nice she was.
142
00:08:09,467 --> 00:08:12,867
That she was bubbly
and caring and very involved
143
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:14,367
with her family and friends.
144
00:08:15,567 --> 00:08:19,967
Mrs. Raymundo, the pleading
that was in her eyes,
145
00:08:19,967 --> 00:08:24,166
she was begging us to find out
what happened to
146
00:08:24,166 --> 00:08:25,700
their lovely daughter.
147
00:08:28,667 --> 00:08:31,867
[female narrator] To catch
Anna Lisa's killer,
Detective Holt
148
00:08:31,867 --> 00:08:35,467
must put together the last
24 hours of her life.
149
00:08:35,467 --> 00:08:39,567
[Greg] Anna Lisa had called
her mom at 10:34,
150
00:08:39,567 --> 00:08:42,667
the morning of the homicide.
Didn't get in touch with her,
151
00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:44,266
but left a voicemail.
152
00:08:44,266 --> 00:08:48,467
That was very instrumental
in narrowing that
timeline down.
153
00:08:48,467 --> 00:08:53,600
So now we had 10:34
to the time of the 911 call
154
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,900
at approximately 12:00 p.m.
as the window
155
00:08:56,967 --> 00:08:59,100
for this homicide occurring.
156
00:09:00,767 --> 00:09:03,367
[female narrator] Anna Lisa's
parents report their daughter
had been
157
00:09:03,367 --> 00:09:05,400
working at home
when the killer struck.
158
00:09:05,467 --> 00:09:08,100
Was this a robbery gone wrong?
159
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,800
Anna Lisa's pocketbook
and possessions
160
00:09:10,867 --> 00:09:12,200
was still there.
161
00:09:12,266 --> 00:09:14,000
Didn't appear that anything
was missing.
162
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,467
So it didn't look like it was
a robbery at that time.
163
00:09:16,467 --> 00:09:20,066
[Greg] There's no evidence
that the perpetrator went
164
00:09:20,066 --> 00:09:22,300
any further than that foyer.
165
00:09:22,367 --> 00:09:25,266
This is clearly
a targeted attack.
166
00:09:25,266 --> 00:09:28,100
They went to
that specific door
167
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,567
and she allowed them
into her house.
168
00:09:31,567 --> 00:09:35,400
[female narrator] The question
is, who came knocking on
Anna Lisa's door?
169
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,400
That evening, Anna Lisa's
neighbors start coming home
170
00:09:39,467 --> 00:09:42,367
from work only to find
their access blocked
171
00:09:42,367 --> 00:09:43,900
by the crime scene.
172
00:09:43,967 --> 00:09:46,867
It's dark, and a car pulls in.
173
00:09:46,867 --> 00:09:51,000
And a male, white, gets out
and he wants to go home
174
00:09:51,066 --> 00:09:54,367
and he is asked,
"Where do you live?"
175
00:09:54,367 --> 00:09:58,266
And he points towards
our primary crime scene.
176
00:10:02,367 --> 00:10:04,667
He's identified as
Nelson Sessler,
177
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:08,266
boyfriend of the victim,
Anna Lisa Raymundo.
178
00:10:08,266 --> 00:10:12,000
So now we know that we have
to talk to this dude.
179
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,367
We take him down
to the station for what
180
00:10:14,367 --> 00:10:18,100
turns into a marathon
interview overnight.
181
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:22,567
In four out of five murder
cases, the suspect and victim
182
00:10:22,567 --> 00:10:23,800
are known to each other.
183
00:10:23,867 --> 00:10:27,300
So in this case, you'd want to
examine the intimate partner
184
00:10:27,367 --> 00:10:30,100
because they could be one
of the most likely killers.
185
00:10:32,567 --> 00:10:36,200
The interesting thing
is Nelson Sessler never asked,
186
00:10:36,266 --> 00:10:41,500
"Why are you at my house?
Is Anna Lisa Raymundo okay?
187
00:10:41,567 --> 00:10:44,500
Is everything okay?"
All of the standard questions
188
00:10:44,567 --> 00:10:47,300
that a civilian might ask
the police,
189
00:10:47,367 --> 00:10:49,667
particularly where
they're intimately involved
190
00:10:49,667 --> 00:10:52,400
with somebody at
that crime scene.
191
00:10:53,266 --> 00:10:55,400
He was very, not emotional.
192
00:10:55,467 --> 00:10:58,700
He was like, very relaxed,
which was very unusual.
193
00:10:58,767 --> 00:11:01,600
Clearly, there was so much
more going on that
194
00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:05,567
he isn't being forthright
about, and we just had
195
00:11:05,567 --> 00:11:07,467
to figure out what it was.
196
00:11:11,066 --> 00:11:12,200
[female narrator] Hours after
the brutal murder
197
00:11:12,266 --> 00:11:14,667
of 32-year-old
Anna Lisa Raymundo,
198
00:11:14,667 --> 00:11:17,100
Stamford detectives want
to know if her boyfriend
199
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:19,800
Nelson Sessler is the killer.
200
00:11:19,867 --> 00:11:22,166
Nelson says he wants
to cooperate,
201
00:11:22,166 --> 00:11:25,066
but something's off about
the way he's behaving.
202
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:28,300
[Greg] When we've disclosed
to him that Anna Lisa
was the victim
203
00:11:28,367 --> 00:11:29,800
of a homicide.
204
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,166
There was no demonstrative,
"Oh, my gosh, what happened
to her?"
205
00:11:35,166 --> 00:11:38,900
No tears, just
a deadpan individual.
206
00:11:38,967 --> 00:11:42,667
He was not appearing like
he wants to help us
207
00:11:42,667 --> 00:11:44,266
with the investigation.
208
00:11:44,266 --> 00:11:47,567
If we asked him a question,
we would get a yes or a no.
209
00:11:47,567 --> 00:11:51,100
Whatever information
we are getting
from Nelson Sessler,
210
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:52,767
it's like pulling teeth.
211
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:55,166
He would not volunteer
anything.
212
00:11:56,467 --> 00:11:59,266
[female narrator] Eventually,
after hours of interview,
213
00:11:59,266 --> 00:12:02,066
investigators are able
to pull some information
214
00:12:02,066 --> 00:12:03,300
out of Nelson.
215
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:06,767
We learned that he has
a residence within the city
216
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:10,567
of Stamford, but he also
resides occasionally
217
00:12:10,567 --> 00:12:13,266
at Anna Lisa's condo.
218
00:12:13,266 --> 00:12:17,200
Nelson was a couple
of years older than Anna Lisa.
219
00:12:17,266 --> 00:12:21,266
They had been dating pretty
seriously for at least a year.
220
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:23,100
They were talking
about marriage.
221
00:12:24,567 --> 00:12:28,166
[female narrator]
Did this young couple's love
somehow end in murder?
222
00:12:30,767 --> 00:12:33,867
Investigators know
that Anna Lisa was
attacked sometime
223
00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:37,400
between 10:34 a.m.
and 12:00 noon.
224
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,467
Where was Nelson at that time?
225
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,667
We learned that Nelson had
been at her place.
226
00:12:46,667 --> 00:12:48,800
He leaves for work around
eight o'clock in the morning
227
00:12:48,867 --> 00:12:50,567
and Anna Lisa is home.
228
00:12:50,567 --> 00:12:53,467
[Greg] Nelson Sessler said
he went to his office,
229
00:12:53,467 --> 00:12:56,066
stayed all day,
did not leave for lunch,
230
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:58,667
then at the end of the day,
drives home.
231
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:01,600
If what he has told us
is true,
232
00:13:01,667 --> 00:13:05,300
he would have been
the last person
to see her alive
233
00:13:05,367 --> 00:13:09,200
as he left for work
and left her at the house.
234
00:13:11,867 --> 00:13:15,800
He tells us that he works
at Purdue Pharma,
235
00:13:15,867 --> 00:13:19,000
which is a gigantic
drug company.
236
00:13:19,066 --> 00:13:22,367
We also learned that
Anna Lisa Raymundo worked
237
00:13:22,367 --> 00:13:24,266
at Purdue Pharma.
238
00:13:24,266 --> 00:13:27,166
[female narrator] The couple
began dating as co-workers.
239
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:30,867
But recently Anna Lisa moved
on to a different company.
240
00:13:30,867 --> 00:13:33,367
Detectives wonder if the move
sparked a change
241
00:13:33,367 --> 00:13:35,100
in the relationship?
242
00:13:35,166 --> 00:13:38,300
We asked him,
"Are you dating anyone else?
243
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:40,667
Do you have
another girlfriend?
Are you married?"
244
00:13:40,667 --> 00:13:42,200
"No, no, no.
245
00:13:42,266 --> 00:13:44,667
Anna Lisa's it. There was
no other female involved
246
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:46,266
in his life."
247
00:13:46,266 --> 00:13:48,967
[female narrator] According
to Nelson, Anna Lisa
was well liked
248
00:13:48,967 --> 00:13:50,667
and had no enemies at work.
249
00:13:50,667 --> 00:13:53,867
But he was concerned about
her behavior at home.
250
00:13:53,867 --> 00:13:57,200
He told Anna Lisa that
she shouldn't walk
251
00:13:57,266 --> 00:14:00,100
in front of windows
or be careful about somebody
252
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:01,200
following her.
253
00:14:01,266 --> 00:14:03,467
Just be mindful
of your safety.
254
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:06,600
Somebody might
see you parading in front
of a window.
255
00:14:06,667 --> 00:14:09,266
[female narrator] Nelson
suggests Anna Lisa
may have been attacked
256
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:10,767
by a peeping tom.
257
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:13,400
But Holt has already
examined her condo.
258
00:14:13,467 --> 00:14:15,867
And Nelson's story
doesn't ring true.
259
00:14:15,867 --> 00:14:18,567
[Greg] What window
are you talking about, Nelson?
260
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:21,066
Unless you are across the way
in another condo
261
00:14:21,066 --> 00:14:24,200
on the second floor.
You couldn't see
into her unit.
262
00:14:24,266 --> 00:14:26,166
It didn't make any sense.
263
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:28,867
[female narrator] Holt wonders
if Nelson is giving
a false lead
264
00:14:28,867 --> 00:14:31,567
to point police
in the wrong direction.
265
00:14:31,567 --> 00:14:36,667
[Greg] I knew 100% that
Nelson Sessler
266
00:14:36,667 --> 00:14:39,567
was not being truthful
with us.
267
00:14:39,567 --> 00:14:41,867
I knew that he was lying
to us about something.
268
00:14:41,867 --> 00:14:44,200
I knew that he was
withholding information.
269
00:14:44,266 --> 00:14:46,567
I just didn't know what.
270
00:14:46,567 --> 00:14:49,600
[female narrator] If talking
to Nelson doesn't
reveal the truth,
271
00:14:49,667 --> 00:14:51,967
maybe the physical
evidence will.
272
00:14:53,066 --> 00:14:56,600
Detectives know that Anna Lisa
put up a big fight.
273
00:14:56,667 --> 00:15:00,300
If Nelson was her attacker,
he'd likely have scratches,
274
00:15:00,367 --> 00:15:02,400
cuts and bruises on his body.
275
00:15:02,467 --> 00:15:06,500
[Greg] We had one of our CSIs
come in and photograph him
276
00:15:06,567 --> 00:15:09,500
from the waist up without
a shirt on front and back,
277
00:15:09,567 --> 00:15:12,500
looking for any wounds,
but we didn't see
278
00:15:12,567 --> 00:15:16,100
any scratches on him.
We didn't see any marks
on him.
279
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,166
There was nothing to indicate
that he had been in a fight.
280
00:15:20,867 --> 00:15:23,166
[female narrator] Nelson says
he was at work.
281
00:15:23,166 --> 00:15:26,100
So investigators contact
security at Purdue Pharma
282
00:15:26,166 --> 00:15:27,767
to check his alibi.
283
00:15:27,767 --> 00:15:30,500
Purdue Pharma has
extremely tight security.
284
00:15:30,567 --> 00:15:33,467
Everything is closed circuit
television cameras.
285
00:15:33,467 --> 00:15:36,300
You have to swipe a card key
wherever you go
286
00:15:36,367 --> 00:15:38,266
within the company.
287
00:15:38,266 --> 00:15:41,667
They pulled up all of
their CCTV footage,
288
00:15:41,667 --> 00:15:44,266
and showed him entering
the parking garage
289
00:15:44,266 --> 00:15:46,166
that morning.
They pulled up all of
290
00:15:46,166 --> 00:15:49,500
the computer records showing
that he swiped his way
291
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:51,567
into the building,
entered his office.
292
00:15:51,567 --> 00:15:54,100
And then everywhere
that he went within
293
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:58,066
the Purdue Pharma
facility that day,
he was card swiping.
294
00:15:58,066 --> 00:16:00,400
He had an ironclad alibi
295
00:16:00,467 --> 00:16:03,467
from the time that he left
the homicide location
296
00:16:03,467 --> 00:16:06,000
at approximately 8:00 a.m.
until the time that
297
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
he returned home
in the same clothes
that he left in.
298
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,100
[female narrator] There is
no way Nelson attacked
and killed Anna Lisa.
299
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:17,266
Holt is suspicious that Nelson
is hiding something,
300
00:16:17,266 --> 00:16:19,500
but with no evidence
against him,
301
00:16:19,567 --> 00:16:21,367
they have to let Nelson go.
302
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:26,767
Investigators re-listen
to the one piece of evidence
303
00:16:26,767 --> 00:16:30,266
they do have...
the recording
of the 911 caller.
304
00:16:39,367 --> 00:16:42,000
They need to find the person
who claimed to be a neighbor
305
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,500
and a witness to the murder.
306
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:51,166
[Keira] Typically, when
someone's calling
from a payphone,
307
00:16:51,166 --> 00:16:53,300
it means that they don't want
their own number
308
00:16:53,367 --> 00:16:56,266
or their own phone information
to be recorded.
309
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:58,700
It could also be that
they're in close proximity
310
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:01,767
to the killer
and don't want to be overheard
making the call
311
00:17:01,767 --> 00:17:05,400
or don't want people to know
that they've come forward
with information.
312
00:17:05,467 --> 00:17:08,100
[Greg] We had a tape recording
of the 911 call
313
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:10,867
and we had been playing that
at Purdue Pharma.
314
00:17:10,867 --> 00:17:14,100
We'd been playing it to folks
around the condo
315
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:17,900
that resided there, thinking
maybe it was a housekeeper,
316
00:17:17,967 --> 00:17:19,367
maybe it was a babysitter.
317
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:21,767
We were including that
in our articles
318
00:17:21,767 --> 00:17:24,100
to have this person
come forward.
319
00:17:24,166 --> 00:17:25,767
And that did not happen.
320
00:17:25,767 --> 00:17:30,367
We exhausted every single
avenue that we could think of
321
00:17:30,367 --> 00:17:35,166
to identify the 911 caller
and it was completely
322
00:17:35,166 --> 00:17:36,934
a dead end on all fronts.
323
00:17:36,934 --> 00:17:39,900
[female narrator] Canvassing
Anna Lisa's neighborhood
doesn't help police
324
00:17:39,967 --> 00:17:41,667
find the 911 caller.
325
00:17:42,667 --> 00:17:46,100
But it does produce
a terrifying new lead.
326
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:48,767
[Greg] An individual had been
bragging,
327
00:17:48,767 --> 00:17:52,300
bragging about killing
a woman, stabbing a woman
with a knife.
328
00:17:52,367 --> 00:17:56,767
It was seen by someone
that he had blood
on a sneaker.
329
00:17:56,767 --> 00:18:01,400
We are now thinking
this could be the perpetrator.
330
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,867
[female narrator] Word on
the street is the suspect
is part of a gang
331
00:18:09,867 --> 00:18:12,667
of thieves who operate
on the waterfront.
332
00:18:12,667 --> 00:18:16,200
Property crimes was
investigating boat burglaries
333
00:18:16,266 --> 00:18:17,467
out on the docks.
334
00:18:17,467 --> 00:18:20,567
Boat burglars were
stealing high end equipment
335
00:18:20,567 --> 00:18:24,667
off of the yachts ward
in the area where
Anna Lisa lived.
336
00:18:24,667 --> 00:18:27,000
Because it is
an affluent area,
337
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,800
it definitely attracts
criminals breaking into homes,
338
00:18:30,867 --> 00:18:33,000
stealing things from boats.
339
00:18:33,066 --> 00:18:36,467
[female narrator]
As Stamford Police work
to identify the suspect,
340
00:18:36,467 --> 00:18:38,700
they get a call about
a suspicious car
341
00:18:38,767 --> 00:18:42,367
seen in the marina on the day
of Anna Lisa's murder.
342
00:18:42,367 --> 00:18:46,600
[Greg] There was a black car
filled with saltwater
fishing gear,
343
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:49,867
brass instrumentation,
probably stolen.
344
00:18:49,867 --> 00:18:52,600
[female narrator] The witness
recorded the vehicle's
license plate
345
00:18:52,667 --> 00:18:55,000
which police are able
to connect to a name.
346
00:18:55,066 --> 00:18:58,567
41-year-old, Gary Riley.
347
00:18:58,567 --> 00:19:00,567
[Greg] Gary Riley
was identified.
348
00:19:00,567 --> 00:19:03,867
He has a criminal record
and a burglary warrant
349
00:19:03,867 --> 00:19:05,166
that was out on him.
350
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,066
He had been seen on the docks
the day of the homicide
351
00:19:10,066 --> 00:19:13,867
between 11:00 a.m.
and 12:00 p.m.
352
00:19:13,867 --> 00:19:16,667
[female narrator] Gary Riley
is a thief who was seen
in the vicinity
353
00:19:16,667 --> 00:19:18,500
at the time of the murder.
354
00:19:18,567 --> 00:19:21,266
Now detectives wonder
if he's also a killer.
355
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:26,400
We had to go out and scoop
him up as fast as possible.
356
00:19:31,567 --> 00:19:33,700
[female narrator] Days after
the murder of Anna Lisa
Raymundo,
357
00:19:33,767 --> 00:19:37,467
Stamford police
are looking for the guy
who said he did it.
358
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:40,000
A known criminal
named Gary Riley.
359
00:19:40,066 --> 00:19:43,867
We are talking to people
that were trying to locate him
360
00:19:43,867 --> 00:19:47,300
and we heard eventually
that he will was holed up
361
00:19:47,367 --> 00:19:49,066
in a seedy motel.
362
00:19:49,066 --> 00:19:52,200
That's how he was
ultimately located.
363
00:19:52,266 --> 00:19:54,467
We went down to the lockup
and brought him up
364
00:19:54,467 --> 00:19:55,700
to the interview room.
365
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:59,367
He's tweaking constantly
because he's either high
366
00:19:59,367 --> 00:20:01,700
or he needs to get high.
367
00:20:01,767 --> 00:20:04,200
[female narrator] It doesn't
take long for detectives
to figure out
368
00:20:04,266 --> 00:20:06,667
what Gary knows about
Anna Lisa's murder.
369
00:20:07,867 --> 00:20:10,467
[Greg] On top of being
an obvious liar,
370
00:20:10,467 --> 00:20:13,667
Gary Riley just didn't know
any details of it.
371
00:20:13,667 --> 00:20:15,967
Other than what you could have
learned on the news,
372
00:20:15,967 --> 00:20:19,200
in the newspaper. The more
we talk to him,
373
00:20:19,266 --> 00:20:25,667
the more we are realizing
that he is just a braggart.
374
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:28,600
[female narrator] Incredibly,
it seems that Gary
was taking credit
375
00:20:28,667 --> 00:20:33,000
on the street for a murder
he knows almost nothing about.
376
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,100
Sometimes people want
to cultivate a reputation,
377
00:20:36,166 --> 00:20:39,100
so other people
in the community
are afraid of them.
378
00:20:39,166 --> 00:20:42,867
[Greg] He tries to be bigger
than what he actually is
379
00:20:42,867 --> 00:20:44,266
when he's out there down
the street.
380
00:20:44,266 --> 00:20:46,000
"Hey, look at me,
I killed this person.
381
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,467
I'm a pretty
dangerous individual."
382
00:20:48,467 --> 00:20:50,400
Now, these are petty
criminals,
383
00:20:50,467 --> 00:20:52,600
and they're not
the brightest people on Earth.
384
00:20:52,667 --> 00:20:55,567
[female narrator] Under
interrogation,
Gary smartens up
385
00:20:55,567 --> 00:20:59,700
and confesses to what
he really saw when
Anna Lisa was killed.
386
00:20:59,767 --> 00:21:03,100
Riley is telling us that
he and his partner
387
00:21:03,166 --> 00:21:05,600
named Matt McCabe are
on the docks
388
00:21:05,667 --> 00:21:09,367
burglarizing boats with
a black auto filled
389
00:21:09,367 --> 00:21:12,066
with stolen
high end equipment.
390
00:21:12,066 --> 00:21:14,867
And they see all
of the police activity
391
00:21:14,867 --> 00:21:17,600
and they're thinking, "Oh,
my God, somebody spotted us.
392
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:19,166
They're after us."
393
00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:22,066
So they started fleeing
the area.
394
00:21:22,066 --> 00:21:24,266
[female narrator] Gary escapes
the scene on foot.
395
00:21:24,266 --> 00:21:27,100
But his partner Matt
takes the car.
396
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,166
Matt McCabe took off
with that black auto.
397
00:21:30,166 --> 00:21:32,400
Gary Riley never
saw the auto again.
398
00:21:32,467 --> 00:21:36,467
Gary Riley is saying,
"I didn't do it,
but maybe he did it."
399
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:39,400
Riley turned us on
to Matthew McCabe.
400
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:44,266
[female narrator] Gary Riley
is charged with theft,
401
00:21:44,266 --> 00:21:47,100
but he played no part
in Anna Lisa's murder.
402
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:50,266
We were able to conclude
that other than being
403
00:21:50,266 --> 00:21:54,467
on the scene between 11:00 am
and 12:00 pm
404
00:21:54,467 --> 00:21:56,300
during the commission of both
burglaries,
405
00:21:56,367 --> 00:22:00,066
Gary Riley was not involved
in our homicide.
406
00:22:00,066 --> 00:22:03,467
[female narrator] Detectives
turn their attention
to Gary's partner in crime.
407
00:22:03,467 --> 00:22:05,266
Matt McCabe.
408
00:22:05,266 --> 00:22:09,467
Did Matt McCabe attack
and kill Anna Lisa Raymundo?
409
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:12,367
Detectives are wondering
if Gary's accomplice Matt
410
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:13,734
could be the real killer?
411
00:22:13,734 --> 00:22:16,900
No one can be eliminated as
a suspect until they find him
412
00:22:16,967 --> 00:22:19,266
and this elusive car.
413
00:22:19,266 --> 00:22:22,667
We're thinking that
Matt McCabe may have fled
414
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:26,166
the jurisdiction after
the homicide
in that black auto.
415
00:22:28,667 --> 00:22:30,166
[female narrator] After weeks
of searching,
416
00:22:30,166 --> 00:22:32,667
investigators find no trace
of Matt McCabe
417
00:22:32,667 --> 00:22:34,967
in the vicinity.
418
00:22:34,967 --> 00:22:38,266
Then they get a lucky
hit from 1300 miles south
419
00:22:38,266 --> 00:22:39,667
in Fort Lauderdale.
420
00:22:39,667 --> 00:22:44,266
Matt McCabe was arrested
in Florida,
421
00:22:44,266 --> 00:22:47,000
not in connection
with our homicide at all.
422
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,900
It was burglary, property
crimes
423
00:22:48,967 --> 00:22:51,667
and he had ended up
being collared
424
00:22:51,667 --> 00:22:53,767
and he was being held on bail.
425
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,767
[female narrator] Detectives
immediately traveled
to the Fort Lauderdale prison
426
00:22:59,767 --> 00:23:01,467
to question Matt McCabe.
427
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:07,467
[Greg] We interviewed him
at length, he responded
to our questions,
428
00:23:07,467 --> 00:23:08,767
he didn't lawyer up.
429
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:11,467
He clearly admitted
to being a burglar.
430
00:23:11,467 --> 00:23:15,066
But he said I didn't have
anything to do with
this homicide.
431
00:23:15,066 --> 00:23:17,166
I didn't have anything
to do with it.
432
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:19,300
He allowed us to take
a buccal swab
433
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:21,000
and head hair for comparison.
434
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:25,066
[female narrator] Holt then
asks about the black car
McCabe used
435
00:23:25,066 --> 00:23:28,867
during his boat heists on
the day of Anna Lisa's murder.
436
00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:31,567
[Greg] Matt McCabe told us
that he had taken that car
437
00:23:31,567 --> 00:23:34,000
to a salvage yard,
wrecking yard.
438
00:23:34,066 --> 00:23:36,567
And we're like, "Well,
do you remember where?"
439
00:23:36,567 --> 00:23:39,667
McCabe either can't remember
where the vehicle is,
440
00:23:39,667 --> 00:23:42,166
or he doesn't want
police to find it.
441
00:23:42,166 --> 00:23:46,300
[Greg] The auto might contain
evidence from the homicide
442
00:23:46,367 --> 00:23:50,467
if people that were in that
auto had been involved
443
00:23:50,467 --> 00:23:51,800
in the commission
of the homicide,
444
00:23:51,867 --> 00:23:53,767
so that's why we wanted
to locate it
445
00:23:53,767 --> 00:23:56,266
and see if there was
any forensic evidence in it,
446
00:23:56,266 --> 00:23:57,567
namely some blood.
447
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:02,967
So we go to Fort Lauderdale
Police Department,
448
00:24:02,967 --> 00:24:06,100
and we asked them for a list
of salvage yards
449
00:24:06,166 --> 00:24:07,433
in their jurisdiction.
450
00:24:07,433 --> 00:24:10,100
We get it and we're starting
to canvass these yards,
451
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,100
but we cannot locate the auto.
452
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:14,800
It was probably scrapped
and crushed.
453
00:24:14,867 --> 00:24:17,767
[female narrator]
The mysterious black car
is never found.
454
00:24:17,767 --> 00:24:21,567
But investigators do return
to Stamford with McCabe's DNA
455
00:24:21,567 --> 00:24:24,600
to submit it to
their lab for analysis.
456
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:29,200
Is it a match to the hair
and blood found at
the crime scene?
457
00:24:29,266 --> 00:24:32,367
[Greg] The Connecticut
State Police
forensic laboratory
458
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:36,400
compared the samples
that we took from Matt McCabe
459
00:24:36,467 --> 00:24:40,467
against DNA that was collected
at the crime scene
460
00:24:40,467 --> 00:24:45,266
and his buccal swab and pair
did not match the recovered
461
00:24:45,266 --> 00:24:47,266
forensic evidence at
the scene.
462
00:24:47,266 --> 00:24:51,066
[female narrator] Matt McCabe
is eliminated as a suspect.
463
00:24:51,066 --> 00:24:55,567
Stamford police are
no closer to finding
who killed Anna Lisa.
464
00:24:55,567 --> 00:24:58,767
The police were feeling a lot
of pressure to solve the case.
465
00:24:58,767 --> 00:25:03,000
The family was calling
the newspaper all the time,
466
00:25:03,066 --> 00:25:04,967
they wanted justice
for their daughter.
467
00:25:04,967 --> 00:25:07,200
The public wanted to know
what was going on.
468
00:25:07,266 --> 00:25:10,200
I definitely think the police
had a lot of pressure
at that time.
469
00:25:12,066 --> 00:25:15,200
[female narrator] Four
and a half months pass after
Anna Lisa's murder.
470
00:25:15,266 --> 00:25:18,667
When the case suddenly
breaks wide open.
471
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:21,000
[Greg] I arrive at
the squad room.
472
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,100
And there is a female
detective Alison Carpentier
473
00:25:25,166 --> 00:25:29,100
from Westchester County,
New York Police Department.
474
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:32,767
[female narrator] Detective
Alison Carpentier is
a 14-year veteran homicide
475
00:25:32,767 --> 00:25:36,467
detective of the Westchester
County Police Department.
476
00:25:36,467 --> 00:25:38,300
[Alison] When I arrived
at Stamford Police Department,
477
00:25:38,367 --> 00:25:41,266
I'm introduced to a detective
by the name of Greg Holt.
478
00:25:41,266 --> 00:25:43,467
And I said everybody thinks
that I should come here
479
00:25:43,467 --> 00:25:44,800
and speak to you guys.
480
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,567
[Greg] I am kind of wondering,
"Okay, what's going on?"
481
00:25:48,567 --> 00:25:51,867
[female narrator] Detective
Carpentier is working on
an attempted murder case
482
00:25:51,867 --> 00:25:54,867
up in New York State
that might be connected
to someone
483
00:25:54,867 --> 00:25:56,600
in Holt's jurisdiction.
484
00:25:56,667 --> 00:26:00,066
Greg Holt is like why would
you think your investigation
485
00:26:00,066 --> 00:26:02,600
is involved
with my investigation?
486
00:26:02,667 --> 00:26:05,367
And I tell him that we believe
our investigation courses
487
00:26:05,367 --> 00:26:08,100
over to a gentleman
named Nelson Sessler.
488
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:12,100
We believe that Nelson Sessler
is involved with this woman
489
00:26:12,166 --> 00:26:13,400
who attempted
to kill her husband.
490
00:26:13,467 --> 00:26:15,266
[female narrator]
Nelson Sessler was also
491
00:26:15,266 --> 00:26:17,767
Anna Lisa Raymundo's
boyfriend.
492
00:26:17,767 --> 00:26:21,200
And I said, "Nelson Sessler.
Oh, baby, here we go."
493
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:26,467
[female narrator] Four
and a half months after
the murder
494
00:26:26,467 --> 00:26:27,700
of Anna Lisa Raymundo,
495
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:30,467
Detective Alison Carpentier
from upstate New York
496
00:26:30,467 --> 00:26:34,000
tells Connecticut detective
Greg Holt to take
a second look
497
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
at the victim's boyfriend,
Nelson Sessler.
498
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:40,467
He's been linked to
an attempted homicide
499
00:26:40,467 --> 00:26:44,200
that happened just two days
ago, in neighboring
Westchester County.
500
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:49,467
[Alison] I got a call from
my patrol sergeant
and tells me that
501
00:26:49,467 --> 00:26:50,867
I need to respond
over to a crime scene.
502
00:26:50,867 --> 00:26:52,367
It's in a parking lot.
503
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:56,900
Upon arriving on our scene,
we realize there's a victim,
504
00:26:56,967 --> 00:27:00,066
a male victim named Paul,
that is in an ambulance
505
00:27:00,066 --> 00:27:03,467
being rushed in
to the emergency room
for a major surgery
506
00:27:03,467 --> 00:27:05,200
to save his life.
507
00:27:05,266 --> 00:27:08,000
At the scene itself
is a woman.
508
00:27:08,066 --> 00:27:10,567
She's being held by patrolmen.
509
00:27:10,567 --> 00:27:14,100
And we learned that she had
just stabbed her husband.
510
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:17,700
[female narrator] The attacker
is 33-year-old
Sheila Davalloo.
511
00:27:20,567 --> 00:27:22,567
[Alison] Right after
her husband gets out
of surgery,
512
00:27:22,567 --> 00:27:24,100
we learn what happened.
513
00:27:25,967 --> 00:27:27,967
Him and his wife
were playing a game,
514
00:27:27,967 --> 00:27:29,900
Sheila tells him that
it would be fun,
515
00:27:29,967 --> 00:27:32,367
just something to make
them be a little closer.
516
00:27:32,367 --> 00:27:35,700
Paul describes to us
that their relationship
has separated
517
00:27:35,767 --> 00:27:37,600
a little bit
and he was spending
a lot of time at work.
518
00:27:37,667 --> 00:27:40,867
So he was very into playing
this game with his wife.
519
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:44,100
Sheila describes to him
that she'll blindfold him
520
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:47,467
and then put items up
to his chest and he can,
you know,
521
00:27:47,467 --> 00:27:48,667
guess what they are.
522
00:27:50,567 --> 00:27:52,867
And she starts to play
this game with Paul.
523
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,900
[female narrator] According
to Sheila's husband, Paul,
the game began
524
00:27:57,967 --> 00:27:59,166
innocently enough.
525
00:28:04,467 --> 00:28:06,867
Then suddenly he feels pain.
526
00:28:06,867 --> 00:28:09,767
Paul feels a very sharp
object in his chest.
527
00:28:09,767 --> 00:28:11,000
And he says what was that?
528
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,667
And she's like, "Oh, it was
the back of a candle.
529
00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:14,500
It has like a wire on it."
530
00:28:14,567 --> 00:28:17,467
And so he's like,
"Oh, alright.
I guess it wasn't that bad."
531
00:28:17,467 --> 00:28:21,967
But within minutes, he feels
another thrust of the knife
532
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:23,300
in his chest.
533
00:28:23,367 --> 00:28:25,767
[female narrator] Sheila
claims it was an accident.
534
00:28:25,767 --> 00:28:28,867
But then she stabs him again.
535
00:28:28,867 --> 00:28:31,767
Paul's insisting at
this point, "Please take me
to the hospital.
536
00:28:31,767 --> 00:28:33,333
I'm bleeding. I need help."
537
00:28:33,333 --> 00:28:35,567
[female narrator] Sheila says
she's calling for
an ambulance,
538
00:28:35,567 --> 00:28:37,400
but they're too busy
to respond.
539
00:28:37,467 --> 00:28:38,767
She tells Paul
they can't come here.
540
00:28:38,767 --> 00:28:40,667
They're on a lot
of emergencies.
541
00:28:40,667 --> 00:28:43,867
[female narrator] Eventually,
Paul convinces Sheila
to take him to the hospital.
542
00:28:46,567 --> 00:28:48,867
[Alison] Instead
of driving him to
the emergency room,
543
00:28:48,867 --> 00:28:51,100
she drives him to a wooded
area in the back
544
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:52,767
of the parking lot.
545
00:28:52,767 --> 00:28:55,867
She stabs him again
and then she tries to drag him
546
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:58,900
into the woods. Paul starts
screaming, "Help me. Help me."
547
00:28:58,967 --> 00:29:02,166
And then people that are
in the parking lot come over
548
00:29:02,166 --> 00:29:05,100
and they were able
to help Paul and call
for an ambulance.
549
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,867
We bring Sheila Davalloo back
to our headquarters.
550
00:29:12,867 --> 00:29:15,900
In the beginning,
we let Sheila believe
that Paul's injuries
551
00:29:15,967 --> 00:29:17,300
are very severe.
552
00:29:17,300 --> 00:29:19,567
We don't know if he's going
to make it, it doesn't
look good.
553
00:29:19,567 --> 00:29:22,266
We let her believe that
because you want as much lies
554
00:29:22,266 --> 00:29:24,300
as you want truth when
you're interviewing somebody.
555
00:29:24,367 --> 00:29:27,100
So Sheila is telling her
little tale thinking
556
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:28,700
we're never going
to find out the truth.
557
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:33,066
She goes into this whole story
of how Paul came home injured
already
558
00:29:33,066 --> 00:29:36,166
and she rushes
to get him some help.
559
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:39,166
[female narrator] Detective
Carpentier knows
Sheila's lying,
560
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:42,266
but she needs hard evidence
to hold her in custody.
561
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:45,800
[Alison] So we start going
through Sheila's phone.
562
00:29:45,867 --> 00:29:48,900
And we learned she didn't call
911 from that cell phone
563
00:29:48,967 --> 00:29:51,567
or the home phone,
but she does call a person
564
00:29:51,567 --> 00:29:54,667
in her contacts right after
she stabs her husband.
565
00:29:54,667 --> 00:29:59,567
Sheila calls Nelson Sessler
and makes a date
for that night.
566
00:29:59,567 --> 00:30:02,700
[female narrator]
Nelson Sessler, Anna Lisa's
reticent boyfriend
567
00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:05,100
is now connected
to Sheila Davalloo,
568
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:07,867
who tried to murder her
husband.
569
00:30:07,867 --> 00:30:11,166
Detective Carpentier now wants
to know if Nelson Sessler
570
00:30:11,166 --> 00:30:14,500
is also involved
in that attempted murder.
571
00:30:14,567 --> 00:30:17,367
Me and my partners
show up at Nelson
Sessla's apartment.
572
00:30:17,367 --> 00:30:19,567
We're knocking on the door,
nobody's answering,
573
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:21,567
so we knock on a neighbor
of his,
574
00:30:21,567 --> 00:30:24,500
a gentleman answers the door
and I said, "You know,
575
00:30:24,567 --> 00:30:26,166
Nelson Sessla?" He tells me,
"Yes."
576
00:30:26,166 --> 00:30:27,667
He goes, "I know what
this is about.
577
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:29,266
This is about his girlfriend
that was murdered."
578
00:30:30,767 --> 00:30:32,667
And I said his girlfriend
that was murdered?
579
00:30:32,667 --> 00:30:34,166
I don't know anything
about that.
580
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,767
He goes, "Well, then I think
you need to get your answers
581
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:37,567
from Stamford
police department."
582
00:30:37,567 --> 00:30:41,867
So from Nelson's apartment,
we drive over to Stamford
Police Department.
583
00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:43,667
[female narrator] At Stamford
police station,
584
00:30:43,667 --> 00:30:46,600
the detectives exchange
information on their cases.
585
00:30:46,667 --> 00:30:49,066
I asked to see
the crime scene photos.
586
00:30:49,066 --> 00:30:50,600
We're going through with them.
587
00:30:52,467 --> 00:30:54,467
When I looked at the crime
scene in Stamford,
588
00:30:54,467 --> 00:30:57,166
I remember just saying,
"Why is it such a bloodbath?"
589
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:02,767
Why is their hair pulling?
Women pull hair,
590
00:31:02,767 --> 00:31:05,266
we kick, we pull hair.
This was a catfight.
591
00:31:05,266 --> 00:31:08,467
[female narrator]
Detective Carpentier suspects
the attacker might have been
592
00:31:08,467 --> 00:31:12,000
a woman and her suspicions
are about to get stronger.
593
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,567
[Alison] They report to me
that they have a 911 call
594
00:31:14,567 --> 00:31:16,367
from the day
of their homicide.
595
00:31:16,367 --> 00:31:19,367
I said can you do me a favor?
Can I hear that 911 tape?
596
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:30,700
Immediately, because I had
just interviewed Sheila
597
00:31:30,767 --> 00:31:32,767
for 12 hours straight,
598
00:31:32,767 --> 00:31:37,066
I said to them, "I believe
I know who that caller is."
599
00:31:37,066 --> 00:31:38,667
That person
is Sheila Davalloo.
600
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:43,567
[female narrator]
The mysterious 911 caller
is suddenly revealed.
601
00:31:43,567 --> 00:31:45,500
Sheila Davalloo.
602
00:31:45,567 --> 00:31:47,567
She just tried to kill
her husband.
603
00:31:47,567 --> 00:31:50,266
And now she's placed
at a Stamford payphone
604
00:31:50,266 --> 00:31:52,467
less than a mile
from Anna Lisa's condo
605
00:31:52,467 --> 00:31:54,367
on the day Anna Lisa
was killed.
606
00:31:55,867 --> 00:31:58,567
Sheila Davalloo is now
the prime suspect
607
00:31:58,567 --> 00:32:00,567
in the murder of
Anna Lisa Raymundo.
608
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:03,100
I'm thinking to myself,
this person could have
609
00:32:03,166 --> 00:32:04,767
actually killed Anna Lisa.
610
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,567
[female narrator] But if
it was Sheila,
investigators have no idea
611
00:32:10,567 --> 00:32:13,367
what might trigger such
a vicious attack.
612
00:32:13,367 --> 00:32:16,300
Is Anna Lisa's boyfriend,
Nelson Sessler,
613
00:32:16,367 --> 00:32:18,367
somehow involved?
614
00:32:18,367 --> 00:32:21,200
I said, "Did Nelson
ever mention a person
615
00:32:21,266 --> 00:32:24,200
named Sheila or did they come
up in your investigation?"
616
00:32:24,266 --> 00:32:27,300
And they didn't know
anything about Sheila Davalloo
at that time.
617
00:32:27,367 --> 00:32:31,700
Nelson Sessler never
mentioned the name
of Sheila Davalloo at all.
618
00:32:31,767 --> 00:32:35,567
[Greg] In the hours and hours
and hours that we spent with
619
00:32:35,567 --> 00:32:37,066
Nelson Sessler.
620
00:32:37,066 --> 00:32:41,200
He was asked repeatedly,
"Are there any other females
in your life?"
621
00:32:41,266 --> 00:32:43,967
He never volunteered
Sheila Davalloo.
622
00:32:43,967 --> 00:32:49,266
He was lying to us by omission
and lying to us directly.
623
00:32:49,266 --> 00:32:52,867
And we wanted to know more
about his connection
624
00:32:52,867 --> 00:32:54,500
with Sheila Davalloo.
625
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:57,600
[female narrator]
Investigators bring Sessler
in again for questioning.
626
00:32:57,667 --> 00:33:01,100
They want to know about
his relationship
with Sheila Davalloo.
627
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:04,200
And this time, they need him
to tell the truth.
628
00:33:04,266 --> 00:33:05,667
Are they friends?
629
00:33:05,667 --> 00:33:07,367
Why were you coming
over there for dinner?
630
00:33:07,367 --> 00:33:09,200
-[phone ringing]
-[Alison] Why does Sheila stab
her husband
631
00:33:09,266 --> 00:33:11,867
and then make a call
to Nelson? Is he part of it?
632
00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:14,867
[female narrator] Detectives
find out there's
a surprising connection.
633
00:33:14,867 --> 00:33:18,066
We learned that Nelson Sessler
is a colleague of Sheila's.
634
00:33:18,066 --> 00:33:20,767
Sheila works at Purdue also.
635
00:33:20,767 --> 00:33:25,100
Anna Lisa, Nelson Sessler,
Sheila Davalloo
all work together
636
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,066
at Purdue Pharma.
637
00:33:27,066 --> 00:33:29,867
[Alison] Nelson is telling me
that him and Sheila
are just friends,
638
00:33:29,867 --> 00:33:32,900
co-workers, they go out
for drinks once in a while,
639
00:33:32,967 --> 00:33:34,767
and that since she has these
two dogs,
640
00:33:34,767 --> 00:33:36,700
he helps her walk them.
641
00:33:36,767 --> 00:33:40,000
[female narrator]
Detective Carpentier
doesn't buy it.
642
00:33:40,066 --> 00:33:42,100
I just looked at Nelson
in the eye and I said,
643
00:33:42,166 --> 00:33:44,867
"Nelson, we know
you're not driving from
Connecticut to New York
644
00:33:44,867 --> 00:33:46,367
without getting laid."
645
00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:50,800
And then he finally admits
that he's having an affair
with Sheila.
646
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,266
The fact that police pointedly
questioned Nelson on
647
00:33:57,266 --> 00:33:59,100
who his exes were.
648
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,467
But that Sheila
was omitted entirely.
649
00:34:01,467 --> 00:34:04,367
It seems for a reason,
as though Nelson perhaps had
650
00:34:04,367 --> 00:34:06,500
some lingering concerns
back then
651
00:34:06,567 --> 00:34:09,000
that she has something
to do with this murder.
652
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,166
To me, the omission
appears deliberate.
653
00:34:13,166 --> 00:34:17,467
[Greg] We did a search warrant
on Sheila Davalloo's condo.
654
00:34:17,467 --> 00:34:21,567
We are locating photographs
of her and Nelson Sessler.
655
00:34:21,567 --> 00:34:26,600
Tickets for a Giants
football game,
photograph on a ski trip.
656
00:34:26,667 --> 00:34:28,400
[female narrator]
In her bedroom closet,
657
00:34:28,467 --> 00:34:30,467
they find something
more sinister.
658
00:34:30,467 --> 00:34:34,900
[Greg] We locate a box
that housed
night vision goggles,
659
00:34:34,967 --> 00:34:37,667
and now we're thinking
could she have been doing
660
00:34:37,667 --> 00:34:41,166
surveillance on Anna Lisa?
661
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:45,567
That goes back to the comment
by Nelson Sessler,
662
00:34:45,567 --> 00:34:48,900
of parading in front
of a window that people
663
00:34:48,967 --> 00:34:50,166
might see you.
664
00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:52,867
We're trying to put
those two together.
665
00:34:52,867 --> 00:34:55,100
[female narrator] If Sheila
was stalking Anna Lisa,
666
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:56,667
was she acting alone?
667
00:34:56,667 --> 00:34:58,900
Or was Nelson in on it?
668
00:34:58,967 --> 00:35:03,000
[Greg] I wonder if he knows
that his girlfriend
669
00:35:03,066 --> 00:35:06,500
is doing surveillance
on his girlfriend?
670
00:35:11,166 --> 00:35:12,400
[female narrator]
Investigators have
discovered that
671
00:35:12,467 --> 00:35:13,767
Anna Lisa Raymundo's
boyfriend,
672
00:35:13,767 --> 00:35:16,900
Nelson Sessler had
a second relationship
673
00:35:16,967 --> 00:35:20,266
with a married woman,
Sheila Davalloo.
674
00:35:20,266 --> 00:35:23,266
Now detectives from two states
need to determine
675
00:35:23,266 --> 00:35:26,767
if Sheila and Nelson conspired
and executed a plan
676
00:35:26,767 --> 00:35:28,300
to murder Anna Lisa.
677
00:35:28,367 --> 00:35:30,800
[Alison] While we were
interviewing Nelson Sessler,
678
00:35:30,867 --> 00:35:34,000
he tells us that a couple
years prior at the time
679
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,667
he was also seeing
Anna Lisa.
680
00:35:35,667 --> 00:35:38,000
So he's seeing both women
at the same time.
681
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,266
He tells us that he felt
a more of a connection
682
00:35:41,266 --> 00:35:44,166
with Anna Lisa and that
he broke things off
with Sheila
683
00:35:44,166 --> 00:35:46,367
and they remained friends.
684
00:35:46,367 --> 00:35:49,166
[female narrator] Nelson
insists he was in
a monogamous relationship
685
00:35:49,166 --> 00:35:51,367
with Anna Lisa at
the time of her murder.
686
00:35:51,367 --> 00:35:54,367
He says that he hadn't seen
Sheila and that
687
00:35:54,367 --> 00:35:56,467
he only started sleeping
with her again
688
00:35:56,467 --> 00:35:58,166
after Anna Lisa died
689
00:35:58,166 --> 00:36:01,000
because Sheila was
a big comfort to him.
690
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
[female narrator] Nelson
maintains that Sheila
told him she was single.
691
00:36:05,066 --> 00:36:08,667
Nelson didn't believe that
Sheila was currently married.
692
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,900
Nelson Sessler later said
that she was saying that
693
00:36:11,967 --> 00:36:15,200
she was divorced,
and she would invite him
to dinner
694
00:36:15,266 --> 00:36:16,900
about once a week.
695
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:19,467
[female narrator] Detectives
find Nelson's story hard
to believe.
696
00:36:19,467 --> 00:36:21,667
How could he have stayed
at Sheila's house
697
00:36:21,667 --> 00:36:23,567
without knowing
she was married
698
00:36:23,567 --> 00:36:25,200
and living with her husband?
699
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,667
Remarkably, it's her husband
Paul who corroborates
Nelson story.
700
00:36:29,667 --> 00:36:31,500
When she would invite
Nelson over,
701
00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:34,400
she would clean out
any pictures of her husband
702
00:36:34,467 --> 00:36:37,400
and she would tell her
husband that she was having
703
00:36:37,467 --> 00:36:40,000
her brother over. Now,
her brother had
704
00:36:40,066 --> 00:36:42,266
some mental issues.
705
00:36:42,266 --> 00:36:45,200
Paul said that Sheila used
the excuse that
706
00:36:45,266 --> 00:36:47,700
her handicapped brother
would be sleeping over.
707
00:36:47,767 --> 00:36:50,767
And he would be upset
if he knew Sheila was married.
708
00:36:50,767 --> 00:36:53,000
So Paul thought he was being
a good husband
709
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,467
and would spend many nights
out of the home.
710
00:36:55,467 --> 00:36:58,100
So Sheila supposedly could
have her handicapped brother
711
00:36:58,100 --> 00:36:59,433
sleep over.
712
00:36:59,433 --> 00:37:02,100
We learned that her brother
has never stayed in her home
713
00:37:02,166 --> 00:37:05,567
and that those occasions,
she was having
Nelson sleep over.
714
00:37:05,567 --> 00:37:09,767
"The brother," quote, unquote,
was Nelson Sessler.
715
00:37:09,767 --> 00:37:13,266
[female narrator] It appears
that Nelson was telling
detectives the truth.
716
00:37:13,266 --> 00:37:17,100
Sheila was lying to both
her husband Paul and to him.
717
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:19,367
She was kind of covering
all our bases, you know,
718
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:23,100
like lying to Paul Christos,
lying to Nelson Sessler.
719
00:37:23,166 --> 00:37:26,100
And I think at some point,
maybe she just couldn't
keep up
720
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:29,100
this whole charade anymore.
721
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:32,100
[female narrator] Detectives
contact security
at Purdue Pharma.
722
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:35,467
This time to track
the movements
of Sheila Davalloo
723
00:37:35,467 --> 00:37:37,967
on the day Anna Lisa
was murdered.
724
00:37:37,967 --> 00:37:42,467
[Greg] We learned that
at 10:53 a.m. on the morning
of the homicide,
725
00:37:42,467 --> 00:37:47,000
Sheila Davalloo leaves
the property of Purdue Pharma.
726
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,700
At 1:53 p.m., Sheila Davalloo
reentered the property
727
00:37:51,767 --> 00:37:54,166
of Purdue Pharma
and went back to work.
728
00:37:54,166 --> 00:37:57,767
She was on CCTV
and she had to use her card
729
00:37:57,767 --> 00:38:00,066
to get to the garage
to get her car.
730
00:38:00,066 --> 00:38:03,166
[female narrator] Not only
do detectives know that Sheila
was out of the office
731
00:38:03,166 --> 00:38:04,967
during the time of the murder,
732
00:38:04,967 --> 00:38:08,000
her cell phone records
also reveal where she went.
733
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,667
Sheila Davalloo's cell phone
showed that she pinged within
734
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:18,300
the confines of Stamford,
right near Anna Lisa's condo.
735
00:38:18,367 --> 00:38:20,767
[female narrator]
The tracking data puts
Sheila at the crime scene
736
00:38:20,767 --> 00:38:22,767
at the time
of Anna Lisa's murder.
737
00:38:22,767 --> 00:38:26,166
But there's one final piece
of evidence against Sheila
738
00:38:26,166 --> 00:38:28,300
that proves the most damning.
739
00:38:28,367 --> 00:38:32,800
[Greg] The drop of blood below
the faucet handle
740
00:38:32,867 --> 00:38:36,100
in the powder room
at Anna Lisa's condo.
741
00:38:36,166 --> 00:38:40,066
The DNA comes back
to Sheila Davalloo.
742
00:38:40,066 --> 00:38:42,000
We knew we had her.
743
00:38:42,066 --> 00:38:45,500
[female narrator]
Investigators are finally able
to piece together the events
744
00:38:45,567 --> 00:38:49,467
in the final 24 hours
that led to Anna Lisa
Raymundo's murder.
745
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,900
[Greg] Nelson Sessler
had spent the night
at Anna Lisa's condo,
746
00:38:54,967 --> 00:38:57,100
they both get up
in the morning
at eight o'clock,
747
00:38:57,166 --> 00:38:58,266
give or take.
748
00:38:58,266 --> 00:39:01,100
Nelson Sessler
subsequently leaves for work
749
00:39:01,166 --> 00:39:05,567
around 8:30. At 10:34 a.m.,
750
00:39:05,567 --> 00:39:09,066
Anna Lisa makes a phone call
to her mom,
751
00:39:09,066 --> 00:39:11,266
does not get her mom
on the phone,
752
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:14,166
but leaves a message.
753
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:18,000
[female narrator]
At 10:53 a.m.,
Sheila Davalloo leaves
754
00:39:18,066 --> 00:39:19,367
the building where she works.
755
00:39:19,367 --> 00:39:21,967
Between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm,
756
00:39:21,967 --> 00:39:24,700
Sheila Davalloo walks up
to Anna Lisa's apartment,
757
00:39:24,767 --> 00:39:28,600
knocks on the door
and obviously Anna Lisa
opens it.
758
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:31,867
We believe that Sheila took
Anna Lisa by surprise,
759
00:39:31,867 --> 00:39:33,767
and that's where
the attack starts.
760
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:48,100
[Greg] At approximately
12:00 pm,
Sheila Davalloo makes
761
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:51,066
a 911 call into the central
dispatch center
762
00:39:51,066 --> 00:39:53,266
for the city of Stamford
Police Department,
763
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:56,400
indicating that her friend
had been attacked by a male.
764
00:40:00,567 --> 00:40:04,667
At 1:53 pm, Sheila Davalloo
reenters her workplace
765
00:40:04,667 --> 00:40:06,367
at Purdue.
766
00:40:06,367 --> 00:40:11,166
At four o'clock while at work,
she actually leaves Nelson
a voicemail on his phone,
767
00:40:11,166 --> 00:40:12,867
telling him to have
a good weekend.
768
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:20,166
[Greg] Sheila Davalloo killed
Anna Lisa Raymundo
769
00:40:20,166 --> 00:40:24,400
because she was interfering
with her relationship
770
00:40:24,467 --> 00:40:25,967
with Nelson Sessler.
771
00:40:25,967 --> 00:40:28,600
The only way to get her out
of the picture in her mind
772
00:40:28,667 --> 00:40:30,767
was to kill her.
773
00:40:30,767 --> 00:40:33,900
She planned this, she knew
what she was going to do.
774
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,100
This is about winning
and losing to people
like this.
775
00:40:38,166 --> 00:40:41,767
Sheila's ongoing obsession
with Nelson,
776
00:40:41,767 --> 00:40:45,800
whereby she is simultaneously
fixated on him
777
00:40:45,867 --> 00:40:49,100
and reveres him,
and at the same time,
778
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,266
she's prepared to take
extreme steps
779
00:40:51,266 --> 00:40:52,767
to make sure she wins.
780
00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:56,467
And she will take and have
what she wants.
781
00:40:56,467 --> 00:40:59,166
[female narrator] In the weeks
following Anna Lisa's death,
782
00:40:59,166 --> 00:41:01,867
Sheila rekindles
the relationship with Nelson,
783
00:41:01,867 --> 00:41:05,900
who has no idea she
is Anna Lisa's killer.
784
00:41:05,967 --> 00:41:08,166
I believe Sheila would have
gotten away with the murder
785
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:10,667
of Anna Lisa had she not
attempted to kill her husband.
786
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:15,767
[Greg] Sheila Davalloo
was convicted
in New York State
787
00:41:15,767 --> 00:41:18,467
for the attempted homicide
of her husband.
788
00:41:18,467 --> 00:41:24,166
She was sentenced to 25 years
in a New York state prison.
789
00:41:24,166 --> 00:41:28,767
She was convicted as well
in the city of Stamford
790
00:41:28,767 --> 00:41:31,967
for the homicide of Anna Lisa
Raymundo.
791
00:41:31,967 --> 00:41:34,767
Sentencing for that
was 50 years.
792
00:41:35,867 --> 00:41:38,100
So for all intents
and purposes,
793
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:39,567
she has life in prison.
794
00:41:41,567 --> 00:41:45,166
There's no such thing
as closure for
a homicide victim's family.
795
00:41:45,166 --> 00:41:47,266
It's with them for the rest
of their life.
796
00:41:47,266 --> 00:41:50,500
They lost a wonderful
human being.
797
00:41:50,567 --> 00:41:52,700
[Alison] Anna Lisa's loss
was so sad.
798
00:41:52,767 --> 00:41:55,900
She was so loved by
her friends and family.
799
00:41:55,967 --> 00:41:58,667
She had such a bright future,
she was just beginning
800
00:41:58,667 --> 00:42:00,166
to come into her own.
801
00:42:00,166 --> 00:42:02,066
Such a life cut so short.
802
00:42:02,066 --> 00:42:03,867
So sad for her whole family.
