>> hello, and welcome to dateline. she moved there for her own piece of heaven on earth. life on a sunny island in florida. when she vanished, her friends knew it wasn't her idea to leave. but that was about all they were sure about in this complicated missing persons case. the here is keith morrison with a place on the sand. but >> there is a little island. its own bit of fantasy off of the gulf coast of florida. >> kind of a paradise here. >> it is paradise. it just gets better and better we think. >> anna maria island, where high rise condos has seven miles of unspoiled white sand, unspoiled houses, unspoiled people to. most of them. >> when you come across the bridge, it's a whole different life. you just come across the bridge. it's like ha. >> it is. >> yeah. >> here is where she found her little paradise to. came all the way from germany. sabrina bugler. whether they called her subpoena. or a summed it, so been. they all knew her here on the island. a larger than life person. >> absolutely. the minute you met her, you were just drawn to her. she was just one of those people that you wanted to get to know better. >> even now, looking back on what happened to subpoena on the awful mystery. it just doesn't seem possible. not here. when >> nothing happens on this island, it's sweet town. >> though, and certainly not to her sabina made good things happen here. crazy things, happy things. here at the 50s motel she reimagined, along with tom bugler. within t weeks of meeting. at haley's motel. longtime friends nancy ambrose and susan fox. >> had always been her lifetime dream to have her own resort. haley's came on the market. at the time it was pretty rundown. and we were like, oh, you've got your hands full here. we knew that them could do it. the two of them could turn this around. >> and they did. tom did the fixing. sabina had the ideas. they invited the whole town to their quirky events. dress up parties. >> hello. welcome to haley's motel. please join me for a tour. this is her with jackie moe, her ever-present parrot. she was the star of her own promotional videos for the hotel. >> i hope you like our room so far. all the activities we offer you. >> neighbor barbara hines. >> sabina never saw something that had a broken wing that she didn't try to fix. sabina was a rescuer. >> people, cats, dogs, turtles. when susie fox took over the anne-marie a turtle watch. nesting turtles are a very big deal here. she asked for help. tom and so been were our fourth volunteers. there are nine sections on this island. a mile long. take as many as i needed to give them. >> i watched it with a huge leather back in the water. owns a local newspaper, the islander. >> the leather back was missing. swam in a circle and kept coming back to the beach. sabine jumped in the water without a second thought. was talking to the turtles face. like she could tell a 400 pound turtle to turn around, or will him too. >> so, you get the idea. >> she was just amazing. one of those people that cared about everybody. >> like, nancy ambrose for example. when she was battling cancer and nobody would give her a job because of her demanding treatment schedule. until the day that she met sabina. i explained what my situation was. she was like, great. >> that was one of the happiest days of my life. here she was giving me a chance. >> so, sabina had passions. animals, her motel, her white pontiac convertible. and in 2008, a new passion. campaigning for barack obama. an uphill battle on this republican island. so on election night, sabina was up for a party. she arranged to meet nancy in fact, in what they hope to turned into victory celebration. >> she was so into the election. she wanted obama to win. >> strange that when nancy arrived, she couldn't find sabina. i >> thought she had already left, because i had gotten there late. >> sabina husband tom, had been there earlier to. but without her, nancy didn't worry. >> it wasn't until a couple days later that i realized she was missing. >> how is it possible that the woman who loved celebrate didn't. the woman who loved to talk called no one. the woman who loved her hotel suddenly wasn't there. sabina was gone. >> coming up, first troubling clue. her car with somebody else at the wheel. >> flag started going off. >> who was this mystery driver? >> would've driven through a very rough area. it just came to my mind that maybe she had been carjacked. >> when you know the truth, but we know now. >> when dateline continues. how did olay top expensive creams?

>> yes, and he had permission to drive the car. >> when they check the registration, they learned the convertible belonged to subpoena. and corona had a record. >> he was a known street criminal. had a lengthy arrest history. >> they learned from sabina friends. i there was something wrong with the story of her doing drugs and drinking with a fellow in a smoky partof town. >> she would never be buying drugs. she would not even allow people to smoke around her. she would not allow people to smoke at the hotel property. >> she was kind of a health fanatic. >> she was. had a private personal trainer. she was very in the health. >> so they arrested corona. threw him into a county jail. in the mueller earning, drove over to haley's motel to talk to sabina husband tom. and tom said he hadn't seen sabina in a couple of days. he hadn't file a missing persons report, but did after police came around. >> was he like? what was the impression of the guy? >> he was concerned for her well-being. she wouldn't answer her phone, he couldn't find her. >> and something else, according to tom. sabina never let anybody drive her car. not even him. >> now there was a stolen car, a missing woman, and unknown criminal. not adding up to a good combination for sabina. >> flag started going off. shortly thereafter, detective started getting involved as a missing persons case. >> but then it got worse. when detectives went over the car, they found blood drops in the backseat. a patch in the rear seat had been cut out. so they prove luminol around. found more blood traces in the rear see. her friends like crystal that were horrified. >> then we thought it was him. he killed her, they must have killed her. >> hours of homicide investigation, detective jeff bliss decided to pay a visit to corona in jail. i put my business card on the desk. >> we are homicide detectives, this is not a theft, we need to know the truth now. >> he said i have nothing to do with any murders. then he changed his story. >> corona's new story? he had never met anybody named sabina. just found her car found behind the placed called the gator lounge. not exactly upscale wine bar. in the jailhouse interview, corona claim that it was just a client of opportunity. >> you didn't see anybody did you? >> i don't see nobody inside the car. so that's why i decided to take the car. i go inside, then i see the keys, so i'm like oh you know what i mean? a joyride you know? >> the vehicle is left, like somebody wanted it stolen. so he just took the liberty of stealing that car. >> was the second story any more true than the first? the local paper jumped on all of this of course. lot of joy heard a lot of stories. >> a number of people who speculated that sabine might have gone to town to a obama celebration downtown. the area she would've driven through to go to that party is a very rough area. it just came to my mind that maybe she had been carjacked. >> certainly, something very bad must have happened. something, maybe, that happened in her car. so, was corona her killer? was he finally telling the truth that he stole her car outside that bar? if that was true, how did it get there? and where was subpoena? >> could it be that sabrina had plans that nobody knew about? had this free spirit simply skip town? coming up, there were two women who were at the airport and they were sure that they saw her up ahead. in line. to get onto an airplane. >> when dateline continues. n dateline continues when you have xfinity, you have entertainment built in. which is kind of nice. ah, what is happening. binge-watching is in the bag, when you find all your apps, all in one place. find live sports faster just by using your voice... sports on now. touchdown irish!

when they found her car, there was blood in it. and the fellow who had stolen it had kept changing his story. so the logical conclusion was dark indeed. still, she could have just went back to see her family or something like that? >> yeah right, there was extensive leads and investigation to determine that. >> in fact, apparently sabrina had been seen alive and well at the local airport. her friend had heard the story. >> there were two women who are at this arizona airport and they were sure that they had saw her up ahead in line. to get onto an airplane. >> but when detectives checked out the tip, her passport wasn't used i. >> checking surveillance cameras at the airport, tampa airport. to make sure that she did not leave the country or fly out. >> couple of weeks went by that way. lots of tips, no verifiable sightings. and then finally, they got the dna back from that blood on the car. >> we're able to get her toothbrush and other items for dna comparison. we are able to match that up. that was in fact her blood. >> her husband tom, told the local news reporter that he was prepared for the worst. from that first morning when he was told about her car. >> the second that i knew, when the police told me that they had found her car without her in it and with the keys in the car, i knew that sabina was no longer with us. i knew that something had happened to her immediately. >> so, looks like this guy corona might be on the hook for murder. but beyond the blood, evidence didn't exactly jump out of him. but who else? had to be no made an enemy? >> when detectives started looking at her life, they had to cast a wide net for people that she associated with. after all, sabina was like a magnet. everybody wanted to go to her lavish parties. >> there was a waiting list to get on to her party list. >> exactly. >> she could even get a little racy. for anna maria island. >> one of the more unusual things, she hired people from germany to come to new body painting. new body painting on anne-marie island, you can't do that here. >> but sabrina did what had to be done. it can be a tough business, running and promoting a little motel. margins thin. with the economy beginning to tank in 2008. once was sunny and light, was gray with worry. sabina and tom were in trouble. neighbor barbara hines. >> the real estate market had folded. i knew from subpoena, not from don. that they were highly leveraged. >> please call me for your reservations. while sabrina used her marketing skills to keep the motel afloat. >> how may i help you? >> she and tom couldn't do the same for her marriage. after more than a decade's husband and wife, they were that in name only. but what they did not do, is to force. or divide up the business. >> they were always still good friends. very good friends. they worked well together. >> the romance park, the marriage part? >> the romance part kind of. i >> maybe romance changed. >> it certainly did. detectives couldn't help but discover. tom and serena had taken up with other people, both of them. he was a woman that he had known quite a while. she was a local artist who had once worked at the hotel as a handyman. then there was the matter of the life insurance. how much did he take it on subpoenas life, the cops asked. $100,000 said tom. despite what was apparently an amicable breakup, people on anne-marie island couldn't help but wonder about tom. more than a few said that subpoenas friend karen hodge. >> people whispering. kind of suspecting him in a way. just because they didn't know. >> photographer jackie elk outdid promotional stills for the hotel and did good friends with tom and sabrina. there was no evidence. >> everything was speculative, who did it. it was a who did it. this is a murder mystery of epic proportions. >> so it was. and then, 12 days after sabrina vanished. off the face of the earth. somebody set fire to haley's motel. >> i am sure my mouth was hanging open. just going, can this get any more bizarre. what >> was this all about? >> we just didn't know. dead or alive, where was subpoena? >> coming up, sabrina's husband. that 100,000 policy. wasn't the whole story? >> came up later that it was 300,000. >> money, a motive, or maybe just jealousy. >> i had been caught having sex and room 11 at haley's motel. >> when dateline continues. teline continues a place where everyone lives life well-protected. ♪♪ and even when things go a bit wrong, we've got your back. here, things work the way you wish they would. and better protection costs a whole lot less. you're in good hands with allstate. click or call for a lower auto rate today. i have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. so i'm taking zeposia, a once-daily pill. because i won't let uc stop me from being me. zeposia can help people with uc achieve and maintain remission. and it's the first and only s1p receptor modulator approved for uc. don't take zeposia if you've had a heart attack, chest pain, stroke or mini-stroke, heart failure in the last 6 months, irregular or abnormal heartbeat not corrected by a pacemaker, if you have untreated severe breathing problems during your sleep, or if you take medicines called maois. zeposia may cause serious side effects including infections that can be life-threatening and cause death, slow heart rate, liver or breathing problems, increased blood pressure, macular edema, and swelling and narrowing of the brain's blood vessels. though unlikely, a risk of pml--a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain infection--cannot be ruled out. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, medications, or if you are or plan to become pregnant. if you can become pregnant, use birth control during treatment and for 3 months after you stop taking zeposia. don't let uc stop you from doing you. ask your doctor about once-daily zeposia. when you have xfinity xfi, you have peace of mind don't let uc stop you from doing you. built in at no extra cost. advanced security helps keep your family protected online. pause wifi whenever for ultimate control with the xfinity app. and family-safe browsing gives parents one less thing to worry about. security, control and peace of mind. with xfinity xfi, it's all built in at no extra cost. severe storms -- on saturday evening, powerlines most of the homes sustained damage. it's about 75 miles from mayfield, where in ef3 long track tornado left much of the town back in december. sheriff's officials say three people are missing after a wildfire destroyed near 1000 homes and colorado's boulder county. tens of thousands of homes are still under mandatory evacuation orders. now, back to dateline. >> welcome back to dateline, i'm natalie morales. the missing person case of subpoena bill, or had taken a turn towards the bizarre. 12 days after she disappeared, a fire at her motel had any chance of finding, or also had gone up in flames. keith morrison picks up on our story, a place on the sand. >> the touching of haley's motel and anna maria florida, turned out to be as attractive a mystery as a disappearance of subpoena. but they did know was, it was no accident. it was arson and it started in a building beside the main hotel structure, a building that once served as tom and sabina's living quarters. no one was hurt, but there were questions. was it personal? an attempt to destroy evidence? or wet? around town, some people wondered if tom had something to do with the. others dismissed that as just plain nonsense. photographer jack, covered the -- fire for the island newspaper. >> that's when the mystery really started, wow, another element of this puzzle. >> why would somebody do that?

>> yes. >> if she's declared dead, he gets a lot of insurance money. he gets the ownership of the motel. >> correct. >> yes, funny tom had told the detectives before he held a 100,000 dollar policy on sabina. when he filed papers to declare her dead, it turned out there was a second larger life insurance policy, that he forgot to mention. >> it came up later, it was 300,000. >> the revelation made the newspapers. attorneys for the insurance companies argued that, under florida law, sabina had to be missing at least five years, before she could be declared dead. and any insurance money, paid out. after hearing reporters noticed an unusual group of observers listening to the proceedings. >> the whole back row of seats were taken up by sheriff deputies. >> tom was not successful. >> they denied a death certificate, tom was denied insurance. i could see, how they could deny a death certificate, there was nobody. >> and then the police knew, corona did not kill sabina. they were able to confirm the essentials of the story, so he was convicted of car theft, not murder. detective kenny, who was an island a cop that known sabina and tom for years, decided to have another try, much closer to home. he asked tom for any details, no matter how small, that might take the investigation beyond the conjecture and whispers of suspicion. that floated on the island breeze. >> he wanted to hold -- the whole background of their courtship, their marriage, and how it disintegrated. >> how did it disintegrate? >> he told me that it just slowly, grew apart. and that they stay together, because they were very good friends. and they owned a business together. >> but, this seemed unusual. well they stayed married, they moved in with other people. remember, in the year before subpoena went missing, tom started dating a new woman. and, sabrina took up with a handsome younger man, who once worked at the motel. his name was bill. bill number. >> the man was very charismatic, drop dead gorgeous. >> years later, sabina was 49. and bill was 39, and very different than tom. tom, meanwhile, was sabina's business partner. things got dicey, they found tom -- they found sabina in the hotel room with bill. >> caught him having sex, he said it was not a jealousy thing, it was lack of respect. having sex with his wife in the hotel room. >> not jealous? maybe. still, the detectives knew that kind of thing, could drive some type of person, to do terrible things. tom and bill, did one of them harm sabina? they interviewed bill, the first time, back when sabina's stolen car was found. learned in 2008, they started dating. eventually, they moved into an apartment together. sabina told her friends, she hit the jackpot with bill. friends like joyce. >> she even had his picture, in her wallet. she was so proud that he was so handsome. i can see where she was head over heels. >> maybe this was going to be the love of her life, they were going to have a wonderful future together. >> the last time sabina's friend saw her, she was with bill. jack had never met him before. >> she came over to me, gave me a big kiss and hug, how are you?

did they challenge him? yes they did. but, try as they might, bill cumber did not crack. so they sent him home. but kept an eye on him. >> what made you think he was the guy, who would have killed her? they were going out together. >> they had an argument that day. >> was there any other evidence that pointed to it, besides that? >> without sabina to pay the rent, he was evicted. the detectives got permission to get in, to sweep. >> the first time i entered the apartment, it was a heavy scent of bleach. >> how long after? >> 4 to 5 weeks? >> bleach was still strong at that point? >> we went in and searched it. we found additional blood evidence, with dna. >> what did all of that say to you? >> something bad happened right there. >> bill told the detectives that was innocent blood. sabina once cut herself here. and then they found bill's dna on the driver seat of subpoenas car. but he told detectives, she let him drive it. >> we knew that no one even, her husband was not allowed to drive her car. >> then they looked at his hand. >> he had an injury on his hand was consistent with the friction burn. >> from the shovel? >> getting it on the palm of your hand. >> just from traveling. >> bill said that he had fell off his bike. the more detectives looked at bill camber, the worse it look for him. the reason he did time in prison for example? he was convicted of arson. >> he was jealous of his girlfriend. they had an argument, he tried to burn the house down with her in the kids and. >> turns out that the haley's motel fire was intentionally started with accelerant. bill's shoes were tested later, and had traces of accelerant to. but that was not enough to make a case. so, do they arrest bill and charged with murdering subpoena? no they did not. a nobody case would be very tough said the prosecutor's. there was no proof that the woman was even dead. so the detectives turned up the heat. >> somebody knocking out the door, i want to talk to you. >> we had a legitimate safety concern for other residents. especially if he wound up getting with another female. >> and bill couldn't take it. he left an a maria highland. left the county. unfortunately for him, that was a probation violation. so before long, bill was in jail. while the detectives kept looking for sabrina. everywhere, no trace. then in 2011, three days or she disappeared. ed moss was cleaning brush on the island on the beach. >> underneath a lot, there was kind of a small purse. looked stolen said head. he showed it to a deputy. >> his eyes got really big. he looked at me and said, you have no idea what you have just a. >> it was my sabina purse. her drivers license confirmed. >> we had this league. as far as the purse being recovered, it was only two blocks to the north of where they actually lived. so >> detectives kenny endless brought an army of police equipment and started searching the area for her remains. after weeks of digging through the sand ambush, nothing. >> both of us were obsessed with this case. we know he did. >> the other thing that he knew was that tom did do it. >> remember, some people on the island had been suspicious of tom. detectives had long since cleared him. >> i could tell that he didn't do it. we alibied him. we did everything that needed to be done to make sure. my >> parents his attempt to cash at the insurance policy so quickly was a matter of survival. >> i never thought that tom had anything to do with this. >> so with tom in the clear, detectives consulted with other jurisdictions on how they handled nobody cases. lined up all of the forensics and circumstantial evidence and finally the prosecutor told him they were ready. in 2012, four years after sabrina vanished, bill comer was indicted for second-degree murder. but it was not going to be an easy case. >> obviously, evidence that goes with the body. cause of death, manner of death. we didn't have that. but >> would it take for a jury to believe that handsome bill was a killer?
