nearly 29 stab marks, including the slash across his neck from ear to ear. there was a .25-caliber gunshot wound over his right eyebrow and massive amounts of blood all over the master suite, soaked into the bedroom carpet, and splattered all over the bathroom, the sink, the mirror, the floor. his friends had immediate suspicions about who did it. had he been threatened by anyone recently? yes, he has. he has an ex-girlfriend that s been bothering him and following him and slashing tires and things like that. her name is jodi. reporter: but when investigators reach jodi by phone, she insisted she d been nowhere near mesa. for months. this was version one of her story. that was around april you that last saw him, right? early april. you haven t been back in town since then? no, i haven t at all.
must have been torments. in her diary, she writes about how she loves travis fully and completely and she doesn t know any other way to be. he was just her entire focus, and she was extremely obsessed with him. reporter: so obsessed apparently that jodi never took her eye off of travis, no matter how far apart they were. i absolutely know that she was stalking him many times. just like when she went in through the back door when he was kissing another girl on his couch. she s spying on them. that s what s really happening there. she slashed his fires, broke into his e-mail account, hacked into his facebook page, broke into his house and stole his journals. she read his diary. she just did these crazy, stalking behaviors. reporter: jodi has long denied stalking travis. then on june 4, 2008, she made one last visit to her estranged lover s home, arriving in the wee hours of the morning.
very good. i kind of felt like a used piece of toilet paper. reporter: for the victim s family sitting in the courtroom the portrayal of an allegedly domineering and sexual travis was difficult to hear. do me a favor and take a look at this exhibit, see if you recognize it. reporter: text messages from travis appearing to treat jodi as his sex slave. he says that this photo shoot is going to be one of the best experiences of your life and his. he also says you ll rejoice in being a whore that s sole purpose in life is to be mine to have animal sex with and to please me in any way i desire. reporter: jodi even accused travis of being a pedophile. i walked in, and travis was on the bed masturbating. he started grabbing at something on the bed, and i realized they were papers.
to great lengths to do that was because if there was any suspicion it wouldn t be drawn to you, correct? not immediately. that was the point, yes. right. you wanted to the police to look elsewhere, right? i guess. so you call mr. alexander and you left him a message, right? yes. reporter: but despite her early efforts at a cover-up jodi now took the jury through the grisly details of the killing, starting when she dropped travis s new camera. at that point travis flipped out again. he stood up and he stepped out of the shower and he picked me up as he was screaming that i was a stupid idiot and he body-slammed me again on the tile.
any other trial, was watching jodi arias sit down with black and white stripes in the jail and hold a press conference for the media. don t roll the tape yet. but before the press conference, she goes into her little compact, i don t know where you get these in jail, but she s powdering her nose. i m thinking to myself, she s powdering her nose for a press conference. she s just been arrested for murder. who is this woman, jodi arias? and what is this trial going to be like? well, we found out. it s a trial like no other. you are excused.
