Welcome to Postmortem. I'm CBS News correspondent Tracy Smith, filling in as host, and today we're discussing the death of 67-year-old Violet Yacobi. On October 10th, 2017, Violet was found dead in her Beverly Hills home, and responding officers initially suspected it might be a suicide, but when the autopsy report determined she died from asphyxia due to neck

compression or strangulation, her case turned into a homicide investigation. Joining me today is 48

hours correspondent Aaron Moriarty, who reported on this case.

It's always great to talk with you, Aaron, and I'm excited to get your take on this.

Well, this is actually a case from your part of the country. And as you know, well, there aren't

a lot of murders in Beverly Hills. The investigators assigned to this case actually had more experience

investigating robberies and home invasions than homicides. But as it turned out, that experience

gave them the skills they needed to crack this case. So it's a very interesting one.

I definitely want to dig into it. But first, a reminder to everyone, if you haven't watched or listened to this episode, Beverly Hills 911, go check it out now and then come back for our conversation.

All right, let's get into it. On the evening of October 10, 2017, Violet's son Daniel and daughter Dina arrived at their mother's home in Beverly Hills, California,

they discovered Violet on the floor of her entryway beneath a large, curving staircase, and Daniel called 911.

Let's take a listen to some portions of that 911 call.

Yeah, we're doing CPR.

You're doing CPR right now?

Yeah.

Do you mean me to walk you through it, or does somebody know it? No. We're both doctors. Okay. We have... We're both doctors. Never mind. Okay, but you know CPR? Yes. Okay. How long ago did you, like, last see her? Like, how long has she been like that? Do you know?
