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.
