stacked up all in one neat pile. and then angie laying on the bed, covered in blood. her chest area was pretty caved in with stab wounds. this was a vicious assault. 18 stab wounds, 10 punctured the heart. josh and patrick were assistant district attorney s in dallas at the time. they say whoever stabbed angie was intent on killing her. that many wounds could certainly suggest rage, anger at the victim. absolutely. from what you could tell, did angie samota have any enemies? it seemed like she had broken some hearts. but she was the type of person that did not have enemies. everyone seemed to like her a lot. the only people that seemed to be mad at her were ex-boyfriends or people that wanted to be her boyfriend. police immediately focused on the man in angie s life, starting with ben, her then boyfriend. ben told police a
boyfriend, ben, was not present. ben was aware of the fact that angie, russell, and i were all going out together. at least angie s friend, evelyn, ben didn t seem like the type to get jealous or violent. you could never imagine ben hurting angie? i could never imagine that. the evening ended at 1:00 a. m. angie dropped russell off from his apartment, which was walking distance from her own. and then took anita home. she thought about spending the night at angie s but decided against it. what was the last thing you said to each other? see you tomorrow at the football game. she doesn t meet me there, very strange. because she was a woman of her word. i remember saying, i wonder why angie is. i came home, and my roommate said, there s something i need to tell you. she said, umm, you might want to sit down. she goes, angie
story that sounded a bit suspicious. he said that after dropping off anita after their night out, angie stopped by his place, waking up him for a brief visit, an then drove home. within minutes of reaching her condo, ben says angie called him at around 1:45 a. m. in that phone call, ben says angie told him she let a man she didn t know into her home in the middle of the night. a man who had asked to use her phone and bathroom. ben these angie hung up, promising to call him back a few minutes later. but she never did, ben said, and she didn t answer his calls. concerned, ben told police he drove to her condo. but angie wasn t answering her locked outside, calling police on the early generation mobile phone in his truck. and sounding to them, oddly calm. police weren t sure what to make of ben and his version of events. so there was no way to tell
hours after angie s murder. make her boyfriend, ben, a suspect. the man who made that calm 911 call that police found suspicious. to assume that a very intelligence young lady is going to throw the door open to a stranger at 1:30 in the morning to use the bathroom, but is so afraid of this person, that she picks up the phone and calls her boyfriend. and then hangs up the phone willingly, and yet this is supposed to be the one that kills her? it doesn t make sense. you find ben s actions suspicious? extremely suspicious. she and the others on the defense team didn t point their fingers only at ben. but also at ex-boyfriend lance, at russell, and at any other man who could have been invited by angie into her home. it almost seems as if she was overcome by someone she knew. or someone holding a knife. it could still be someone
was murdered last night and the police want you to call them back. what did you think? i didn t want to believe it at first. beyond that, i started with the whole would have, could have, should have. could i have prevented it, should i have spent the night? would things have been different? but she was not the last person to see angie alive. it turns out angie s boyfriend, ben, was that person. she had stopped by his place on her way home after dropping off anita. later that night, it was ben who called police to angie s condo. and what got their attention was not just what ben said, but how he sounded when he said it. does he sound frantic, panicked? investigators didn t think so. coming up police start focusing on ben, but soon the list of suspects gets longer. he was a pretty scary guy.
