00:00:03
We've all been angry at people that we love. And I think we've all probably done
00:00:08
things that we wish we could take back or regret. Beverly Hills 911, what is the address
00:00:15
of your emergency? October 10th, 2017, the Beverly Hills Police Department received a 911 call of
00:00:22
an unattended death. What's going on there? Um we found Mother are you conscious?
00:00:30
She's found on the floor by [music] her son and daughter. Violet Jacoby was a 67-year-old widow
00:00:37
whose husband had passed a year earlier. She was living in that house alone. It was a nice house. No one had heard
00:00:45
from her that day which was uncommon. Daniel Jacoby and his sister Dina Jacoby meet at the house.
00:00:53
Daniel calls 911. Okay, she's still unconscious? Yes. Yes, is she breathing? No.
00:01:02
Daniel Jacoby is a 36-year-old son of Violet. He was a dentist. How long ago did you last see her? Like how long has
00:01:10
she been like that, do you know? No, I have no He's asked by the 911 operator if anyone
00:01:18
knows CPR. Do you need me to walk you through it or does somebody know it? No, we're both
00:01:23
doctors. You're both doctors? Okay. We have Who is that? Never mind. He says my sister's doing CPR. Who's doing CPR?
00:01:33
My sister. During that call, which is just a matter of minutes, the first patrol car had
00:01:38
arrived at the house. They're here. The police are there? Yes. This is Violet's house. Yes, this is it.
00:01:46
Do you remember coming here? Yeah. It was dark, night time. I remember walking up the steps and then the door
00:01:53
and And no sign of forced entry? No. It's a large entry doorway, marble floor. There's a large curving staircase
00:02:03
that's to the right. The victim was laying on her back. Initially, they thought that she had fallen over the
00:02:10
railing. They just didn't know the cause of death. It wasn't like she'd been stabbed or shot. One of the issues that
00:02:17
becomes incredibly relevant to this case is where she's laying, where it is in vicinity [music] to a railing.
00:02:24
I'm looking straight down and her [music] feet are under the staircase. That to me
00:02:29
she didn't fall over the railing. He was the one who said, [music] "This is not sitting well with me."
00:02:34
There was very significant abrasion on her jawline in a kind of V-shaped pattern. There was a separate abrasion
00:02:43
just [music] below that on her neck. What you're saying is they were suspecting pretty quickly
00:02:50
>> [music] >> that she might have been strangled. Certainly it was an option. What did you
00:02:55
learn about this family? [music] We learned it was a tight family. It was a tight community. I'm telling you
00:03:01
straight to your face, [music] you're not being completely honest with us. That it was not
00:03:07
all roses and rainbows in that house.
