age and no one really knew anything about it or thought a whole lot about it. the sisters estate was estimated to be approximately $5 million. when investigators learned that olgie nobles had been poisoned, the deaths of the norton sisters appeared suspicious. right away, i thought, well, we need to exhume the bodies of the norton girls. but they hit a dead end. both norton sisters had been cremated. so i was afraid we d lost everything. if tim scoggin killed the norton sisters for their money and murdered olgie nobles too, he had committed the perfect crime three times. you can t be around three deaths and one near death under very similar circumstances and just say it s a coincidence. but without forensic evidence, there was no way to
the actual concentration in there was sub lethal but it certainly would be toxic. with leita s permission, investigators exhumed her husband s body five months after he died. his autopsy revealed lethal doses of arsenic in all of his major organs. olgie nobles death was now ruled a homicide. my first thought is that there s somebody that s real close to the nobles that needs them dead for some reason. only two people had access to the food in the nobles home. they had a son who was disabled who lived in the house who, of course, had to be a little suspect. and it was telling, too, that the nobles son showed no signs of arsenic poisoning. the other person was the man who bought the nobles air conditioning business, timothy scoggin.
but leita refused to believe either one was responsible. she had an excellent relationship with her son and tim scoggin was like a member of the family. i didn t know what to think because i just i just couldn t, you know, believe it. leita nobles will look you right into the eye and tell you exactly what she thinks and that s what she did. she looked us right in the eye and told us tim scoggin wasn t doing that, that we were on the wrong track and he would never do that. she trusted him completely. tim scoggin was 33 years old, single and had a close personal relationship with the nobles but a background check revealed an unusual past. before buying the nobles business, scoggin lived in llano, texas, about 130 miles away. while there, he met two elderly sisters, catherine and cordelia

and nobody would have ever known the difference. tim scoggin was arrested and charged with murder and intent to commit murder. he s a very effeminate kind of a man. in fact, when he talked on the phone, people thought he was a woman and he passed himself off as secretaries sometimes and called himself kim. by his voice, you couldn t tell the difference. he had to be a cold, calculating individual. i ve talked to a lot of serial killers, but this guy here was the cold-bloodiest, most ruthless killer that i ve dealt with. scoggin was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences. people kill for money. it s the root of all evil. it really is. that is absolutely true. that s all he done it for was money.
