Everything you hear in today's episode comes directly from court documents, police reports,

deposition transcripts, and on-the-record testimony. A reminder that everyone is innocent until proven

guilty in a court of law. One person police interviewed said Rebecca Schwartz was a devil. Another said she was magnetic and charming one minute, cutthroat the next.

Rebecca was the wife of Dr. Stephen Schwartz from outside Tampa, Florida. CBS's 48 Hours, who did an episode on this case earlier this year, reported

that the couple met through a dating service. But Rebecca's former daughter-in-law testified

that she heard Rebecca orchestrated a random meeting after the wealthy doctor caught her

attention in the late 1990s.

According to testimony, determined to meet this catch,

Rebecca waited outside Dr. Schwartz's office and followed him into Walgreens.

She then bumped into him inside the store and introduced herself.

It was game over from there. Rebecca's former daughter-in-law, Dana Nichols, testified.

And perhaps that was a bit of foreshadowing for what would later happen.

This is Jillian, in partnership with law and crime.
