pole. she s completely gone? yes. the scene of the crime scene , we were looking for anything that stood out. her sandal. tucked right underneath the hose on the edge. it was obvious this was staged. was there someone who wanted samira out of the way? there was a black female standing outside. mr. frechette had multiple female acquaintances. they all had a common career , they were exotic dancers. two clues. one chilling we had an unknown dna on a rope that came off the victim. i literally looked at it and thought, seriously? that was absolutely stunning. behind the curtain was a very dark story. it was a cold morning in february, cold for a northern florida, that is. crisp, but sunny when the call came in. can i get an officer out here in golden eagle? it s a lady laying in the pool in her backyard, in her pool. it made no sense, really. too cold for a swim. but the lady was not swimming. wasn t even floating. down at the bottom of t
explanations. one in particular. adam saying he only dated other women after samira filed for divorce. well, nothing could be further from the truth, said the detectives. mr. frasch had multiple female acquaintances. several of which looked very similar in stature. yeah. so would these women be seen as suspects? i mean, they re persons of interest. i wouldn t necessarily put them in the suspect category, but if we were and throughout this investigation, everybody s a potential. reporter: and they could not ignore the possibility that one of those other women wanted to take samira s place in adam s life. that one of them could be the woman the neighbor saw in the driveway. so tell me about these girlfriends. what kind of people were they? three of them were strippers. so you actually found yourself kind of traveling around the state, going to strip clubs and tracking people down? i did. i did.
didn t happen, he told us. not while he was living with samira. not until they separated and he thought his marriage was over. probably on to divorce number three, you know, and get out of this and just start on with my own life. so i started dating. and then realized but there weren t relationships all the way through your marriage with samira? no. i never ever had because this is the allegation that s out there. no, that s not true. reporter: in fact, said adam, he and samira were trying to reconcile. during that last month, he d been staying over at the house with her and the children. and they agreed to try again. she was going to call off the divorce, he said. she said she was sorry and that she wanted me back. how d that feel? felt wonderful. i got her back, and she admitted it was very difficult in raising the two girls by herself. reporter: and their final night ended, he said, with them making love, nothing else. murder? wasn t possible, said adam. an
them? did he tell you? so he told investigators some of the marks were from him and his wife, samira, having sexual intercourse the night before, so they were love marks. reporter: my goodness. the specific one under his eye he shared with us that his ten month old child had scratched him. reporter: you re about to hear a recorded conversation. the prosecutor made sure the jury would hear the detectives skepticism about those scratches. by playing recordings of the interrogation. the baby was playing around and she always kind of grabs at my eye and face and stuff. so you re trying to make me believe that a 10-month-old has nails enough to make that type of scratch on your face? yeah. reporter: the prosecutor argued that adam killed samira before leaving for the beach at 8 a.m. on the stand, the m.e. testified that the time of death was unknowable. there s no way of saying the exact time of death. or i should say, once she s placed in the pool. there s just no way to
attempt at an alibi for adam frasch. can t win with a story like that. you believe it s an alibi, but it may just be as likely he really is terrified about her. when you couple a phone call that your wife is dead with the fact you call your wife, not law enforcement, to see, hey, i m being told my wife has passed away, i have the kids, what s going on? add that to the fact that he is not supposed to have custody of the kids at all. it didn t make sense. reporter: and, you know the story adam told of that last happy day with samira? well, security camera tapes from late that night told a very different story. first at an auto repair shop. adam trying to talk to her. samira, driving, backs up the car with the door open and him in it, like she doesn t seem to
