00:00:18
We've all been angry at people that we love and I think we've all probably done things that we wish we could take back
00:00:25
or regret. >> Beverly Hills 911. What is the address of your emergency? >> October 10th, 2017, the Beverly Hills
00:00:34
Police Department received a 911 call of an death. >> What's going on there? >> Um, we found mother unconscious.
00:00:44
>> She's found on the floor by her son and daughter. >> Violet Yakobe was a 67-year-old widow
00:00:51
whose husband had passed a year earlier. She was living in that house alone. It was a nice house. No one had heard from
00:01:00
her that day, which was uncommon. Daniel Yakobe and his sister, Dena Yakobe, meet at the house. Daniel calls
00:01:08
911. >> Okay. Is she still unconscious? >> Yes. >> Yes. Is she breathing? >> No.
00:01:16
>> Daniel Kobe is a 36-year-old son of Violet. He was a dentist. >> How long ago did you last see her? Like,
00:01:24
how long has she been like that? Do you know? No, I have no >> He's asked by the 911 operator um if
00:01:32
anyone knows CPR. >> Do you need me to walk you through it or does somebody know it?
00:01:36
>> No, we're both doctors. >> You're both doctors. Okay, we have >> dentist. Never mind.
00:01:43
>> He says my sister's doing CPR. >> Who's doing CPR? >> My sister. >> During that call was just a matter of
00:01:50
minutes, the first patrol car had arrived at the house. They're here. >> The police are there.
00:01:56
Yes. >> This is Violet's house. >> Yes. This is it. Do >> you remember coming here?
00:02:02
>> Yeah. It was dark nighttime. I remember walking up the steps and in the door and
00:02:08
>> and no sign of force entry. >> No. It's a large entry doorway, marble floor. There's a large curving staircase
00:02:17
that's to the right. The victim was laying on her back. Initially, they thought that she had fallen over the
00:02:24
railing. >> They just didn't know the cause of death. It wasn't like she'd been stabbed
00:02:28
or shot. One of the issues that becomes incredibly relevant to this case is where she's laying, where it is in
00:02:35
vicinity to a railing. >> I'm looking straight down and her feet are under the staircase. That to me, she
00:02:44
didn't fall over the railing. >> He was the one who said, "This is not sitting well with me."
00:02:48
There was very significant abrasion on her jawline in a kind of V-shaped pattern. There was a separate abrasion
00:02:58
just below that on her neck. >> What you're saying is they were suspecting pretty quickly that she might
00:03:05
have been strangled. >> Certainly, it was an option. >> What did you learn about this family?
00:03:12
>> We learned it was a tight family. It was a tight community. >> I'm telling you straight to your face.
00:03:17
you're not being completely honest with us. >> That it was not >> opportunity >> all roses and rainbows in that house.
00:04:14
Any unattended death like this we will get called out to. Some are clearly more suspicious than others.
00:04:21
>> When Beverly Hills police detective Mark Schwarz got the call about an unintended
00:04:27
death at the home of 67year-old widow Violet Yakobe. He didn't know what he would find.
00:04:34
>> This one gradually got more and more suspicious. It was October 10th, 2017. Violet's son, Daniel, and daughter,
00:04:43
Dena, had told police they found their mother on the marble entryway below the staircase around 7:30 p.m. Responding
00:04:53
officers initially suspected it might be a suicide. the information that we got very early on about possibly being
00:05:01
depressed and possibly falling over the railing. Those are the things that we showed up with. Her dog had just died.
00:05:08
She had canceled her cleaning lady. >> Violet had just marked the one-year anniversary of her husband's death. But
00:05:16
when detective George Elwell, now retired, arrived at the home, he didn't think she could have gone over the
00:05:23
railing. In this crime scene photo, 48 hours rendered the body as a graphic to show the position.
00:05:31
>> Is that a pretty good description? >> Yes. >> And so what am I seeing there? >> Where the body was laying at the time I
00:05:38
got there? >> Elwell says that when he looked down from the top of the railing, he was
00:05:43
surprised that he couldn't see Violet's feet, which were under the staircase. I'm not an expert in physics, but
00:05:51
anything that's going to go over that that has any kind of weight to it, the momentum is going to take it away from
00:05:56
the staircase a little bit. >> Elwell, an old school investigator with a background in burglaries, also had an
00:06:04
eye for more tactile evidence, like the dust that still covered much of the staircase railing.
00:06:11
>> Up and down the entire railing, there's dust patterns. But for a person of her
00:06:19
stature, there's absolutely no disturbance on that railing that would have indicated anything had gone over.
00:06:26
>> When he got to the station, he pulled me aside and he said, "We got to write a search
00:06:33
warrant. I'm not comfortable with what I'm seeing." >> Around midnight, the two detectives went
00:06:38
to the scene together and they asked Daniel and Dena to come for a walk through. There were no signs of a
00:06:45
burglary. Her wallet was there, her checkbook, cell phone, iPad, anything that would have been stolen was still
00:06:54
there. >> And they soon became more convinced that Violet had not gone over the railing.
00:07:00
>> We had Dena stand next to the railing. I asked her how tall the mother was. She
00:07:07
told me, she said, "She's shorter than me." >> Violet was about 5t tall and the railing
00:07:13
was just over three feet. more than half her height. The railing would come up too high.
00:07:18
>> If she wanted to climb over, the dust would have been completely damaged. For her to accidentally fall
00:07:26
over was just not reasonable. >> Raising more questions were the injuries on Violet's face and neck.
00:07:35
>> There was some sort of mark under her chin here. There's unnatural marks on her neck. It also appeared Violet had
00:07:44
vomited. And what does that say to you guys? >> To me, there was a couple of different
00:07:48
possibilities. Did she choke? Was she strangled? >> During an initial interview with two
00:07:53
other detectives, Daniel had also wondered if his mother had been strangled. >> Let me ask you something. I mean, I
00:08:02
don't know. I just can't get my head around. Like I saw bruising everywhere, right?
00:08:14
>> And I saw a bruise right here. So it looks like she was strangled. >> I at that point had not ruled out this
00:08:25
idea that she had hung herself. >> Yet there were no obvious signs like a rope or a belt near Violet's body. And
00:08:34
Violet's family members rejected the idea that she would take her life. Daniel had described seeing her just two
00:08:42
days earlier at a family dinner. >> And we were sitting right next to each other and everything was, you know,
00:08:48
fine. >> When Detective Schwarz learned that Violet was part of a close-knit Russian
00:08:53
Jewish community where suicide is taboo, it occurred to him that her children might be covering it up. I'm a little
00:09:03
more in tune with the Jewish community. So, I was thinking, how would it be looked at in the
00:09:07
>> And so, you thought maybe the kids might hide. >> Right. Right. Could it be an insurance
00:09:11
thing? Could it be a shame thing? >> Later that day, they talked about oddities they both had observed in
00:09:18
Daniel's behavior. For Alwell, it was during the walkth through. >> Daniel's in the foyer where the body was
00:09:25
found, just moving from side to side. He's looking down. He's crouching. He's touching the tile and it just didn't sit
00:09:35
well with me. >> You didn't think it could just be a grieving son >> trying to figure out why his mother
00:09:41
ended up on the floor? >> No. It was so animated. It was just like watching a episode of Columbbo when he
00:09:48
would look for evidence. >> For Schwarz, it was Daniel's demeanor when they met.
00:09:54
>> Daniel was very eager to help. >> And what's wrong with that? >> Nothing. But it was like a nervous
00:10:00
energy >> that he had. >> But I mean all along Daniel Yakobia is being cooperative.
00:10:07
>> Absolutely. >> Yes. >> Your concern may be too cooperative. >> Yes. >> They had questions about the initial
00:10:14
story that Daniel told to other detectives of how he and his sister had come to meet at their mother's house
00:10:21
when he learned that no one had heard from Violet. Apparently, they went there because no one had been able to get a
00:10:28
hold of her during the day. >> So, I called my sister immediately a few times. >> Daniel calls his sister and there's some
00:10:37
sort of convoluted story about the keys. >> Hey sis, I can't find my keys anywhere.
00:10:41
Do you know where? Do you have your keys to the house? >> So, Daniel's telling Dena, "Meet me at
00:10:47
the house." >> So, we meet exactly at the same time. >> Didn't sit right. And there were
00:10:53
conflicting stories about who had performed CPR. On the 911 call, Daniel told the operator his sister was
00:11:02
performing CPR. >> But when talking to detectives, he said he also had done compressions.
00:11:10
>> My sister and I, she did more of the mouth to mouth. I did the compressions. >> Did your brother help with the CPR?
00:11:18
>> No. When detective Schwarz called Dena, she confirmed that Daniel had not done
00:11:24
CPR. >> George and I said there's only one person that doesn't seem to be forthcoming and doesn't seem genuine.
00:11:32
>> They decided they needed to interview Daniel themselves, especially once they
00:11:37
learned that Violet had died the night of Monday, October 9th, nearly 24 hours before she was found. based off of
00:11:46
missed phone calls contents in her stomach. We're pretty confident right now that it's the night of the night
00:11:54
that she dies. And detectives want to know where was Daniel. Initially, it's like a unbelievable
00:12:14
explosion of horrible news. >> The nudes of Violet Yakobe's death stunned and saddened her large circle of
00:12:25
friends in Beverly Hills, including Galina Blackman. >> Who would ever uh kill Violet?
00:12:33
>> Violet and her husband had long been pillars in their community. perfect couple. He was a very very
00:12:44
solid doctor. They were very well known. >> What was important to Violet? >> Family,
00:12:54
her brothers, her husband, her children. She had a mission of making everybody happy. I think
00:13:02
>> her son Daniel was a dentist and her daughter Dena worked in physical therapy. They are the American dream.
00:13:11
Immigrant family and were able to create a beautiful life in Beverly Hills. From
00:13:17
the outside, it is a tight-knit, successful family, and that's what we saw initially.
00:13:25
>> But detectives began to take a closer look. On Friday, October 13th, nearly three
00:13:33
days after Violet's body was found, the deputy medical examiner completed the autopsy. The official cause of death was
00:13:42
esphixia by neck compression, >> strangulation. >> Yes. >> Her death was being ruled a homicide.
00:13:49
This was now a murder investigation, and detectives asked Daniel to come back for
00:13:55
another interview. any interview at this point forward is voluntary. Um, you're not under arrest. You are free to
00:14:02
>> So, we know that he is saying he had not seen his mother since Sunday. First time
00:14:09
he sees his mother is Tuesday when he discovers the body. So, we have that full time frame that we're looking at.
00:14:17
They first asked Daniel to go through the events of Tuesday, October 10th, and the night he and his sister had arrived
00:14:25
at Violet's house. >> We both get there at the same time. >> He told them he was in a panic when he
00:14:32
walked in and saw her on the floor. >> And I go there and like in utter shock and
00:14:41
you know, like it's my mom. So I'm like hysterical. He said he hugged his mother's body before starting CPR.
00:14:50
>> I grab her a little bit and just, you know, one hug and then I start doing a chest
00:14:59
compression. >> But when detectives shared with Daniel the results of the autopsy, he didn't
00:15:05
seem surprised to learn her death had been ruled a homicide. >> I can tell you that she has liature
00:15:10
marks on her neck. At this point, she was trying, >> "Oh my god, I knew it. I had a sense of
00:15:19
that." >> They told him based on the levidity patterns, the way the blood settles in
00:15:24
the body after death, >> that they suspected Violet's body had been moved shortly after she died.
00:15:32
>> She wasn't lying on her back like that for hours at a time and died. She was moved. They also told him they
00:15:42
believed he was hiding something. >> But you're not giving us the truth. Your story of the bodies not lining up,
00:15:48
Daniel. >> Daniel continued talking even when he was asked if he was responsible for his
00:15:54
mother's death. >> Was there any animosity between you and your mom? No. >> Did you ever think about?
00:16:01
>> No. >> Would you kill him? >> No. Oh god, this is off. I was suspecting. >> Detectives decided they needed to lock
00:16:12
Daniel into his story about where he was the night Violet died. >> What did you do Monday night?
00:16:20
>> Driving home. Um, you know, from singing. He had consistently told them that on that Monday he worked at his
00:16:32
dental office in Englewood, about 12 miles from Beverly Hills, and then drove straight home, which was another 6 miles
00:16:41
from Violet's house. >> Did you stop at the house? >> No. >> On Monday? No. >> Positive?
00:16:50
But each time he was asked to describe his drive home, he seemed styied by the details.
00:16:58
>> What route do you take to go up? >> Cuz I was I take uh I take sometimes I go to Beverly Hills.
00:17:07
So I did go to Beverly Hills >> when >> on uh but I didn't go to that street. When we
00:17:16
started getting his time frame of Monday, that's where he got uncomfortable. >> No, I took the 45.
00:17:24
>> At this point, we don't know he wasn't at Inglewood, but his description of how
00:17:29
he got home, it was so labored for such a simple question, and he could not give
00:17:36
a clear answer. But Daniel was adamant when asked if he was at or near his mother's house Monday night or any point
00:17:44
Tuesday before he reported finding the body. >> The next day? Do you ever come into
00:17:50
Beverly Hills the next day? >> No. >> So, we're not going to find your car or you anytime Tuesday?
00:17:59
>> No. >> Or Monday night? >> Monday night. >> You sure about this? >> Yes. We couldn't call him out on the
00:18:07
lie, but we knew he was lying. And I knew he was lying during a time frame that was
00:18:14
very significant in this case. Whatever he was holding in, it was for a reason. >> That's what
00:18:22
>> Detective Elwell told Daniel they suspected he had been alone inside his mother's home before going over with his
00:18:30
sister on Tuesday night. >> I see right through you. I can read you. >> It's right in there bugging the crap out
00:18:38
of you. >> But Daniel pushed back and said the detectives had it all wrong. >> I'm telling you everything I know. You
00:18:46
think this is easy for me? My mom just died. There's nobody closer in this world than my mom.
00:18:55
Nobody. >> And there was something else. He had told detectives he had a great relationship with his mom, saying they
00:19:04
talked and texted on a regular basis. >> I text her baby pictures all the time and how are you? Blah blah blah.
00:19:11
>> But when Detective Schwarz looked at Daniel's phone, the last photo he had sent his mom was a month earlier.
00:19:18
>> It's been a while. >> And it wasn't a picture of his baby, but of his bank account.
00:19:25
>> Were you having financial problems? No, we're just always like we're very open
00:19:29
about everything. >> At this point, I found that to be significant. >> By that Friday, he's our suspect. No, no
00:19:36
doubt about it. I think a lot of people when they hear the name Beverly Hills, they think of
00:19:57
movie stars. >> No, that's not Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is very very reachable. You can
00:20:04
drive and you see the homes. Movie stars live in areas where they cannot be reached. That wasn't the case with
00:20:13
Violet Yakobi, says Galina Blackman. >> She liked to impress. >> Blackman, a Beverly Hills realtor for
00:20:22
more than 36 years, specializes in luxury properties like Violets. Galina was asked to appraise the home while
00:20:31
Violet's husband was still alive. >> At that time, I said, I think it's an $8 million house. When interviewing
00:20:40
Violet's son, Daniel just days following her death on Friday, October 13th, Detective Schwarz wondered if money was
00:20:48
a motive. >> Who gets the house? >> I do. >> How much is that house worth? >> A lot.
00:20:55
>> Daniel stood to inherit half of the family fortune. >> You have any discussion about the will
00:21:01
or the money or where the house is going? Anything like that? >> It's all to me. It's all you and my
00:21:09
sister. >> Detectives now had a murder, a potential motive, and a suspect. But after more
00:21:15
than 2 hours of questioning, they let Daniel go. >> We can't arrest him. >> Why not?
00:21:22
>> We don't have the evidence. >> Dena was ruled out as a suspect, but they needed to shore up their case and
00:21:30
dig deeper into Daniel's finances and his relationship with his mother. This is not like a business deal gone bad.
00:21:38
There's a complexity to that that we had to understand. >> Daniel, who had grown up in Beverly
00:21:44
Hills, was now living near Tony Belair. His wife was also a medical professional
00:21:51
and their baby was 5 months old. >> Everything in his life was wonderful. >> Yeah, good boy.
00:21:57
>> Dean Summers got to know Daniel casually. What are >> you looking at? >> Dean's brother was Daniel's neighbor.
00:22:04
Daniel lived right next door. He was marketed as the dentist to the stars. >> First time you met Daniel, what were
00:22:11
your impressions? >> Nice guy. >> Someone you wanted to be friends with. >> Somebody that I could potentially be
00:22:17
friends with. Just a nice normal guy that had his act together. >> But it may have been just an act, say
00:22:23
investigators. I think resentment was one of the things that we started to learn pretty quick that he had a lot of
00:22:29
resentment towards his parents that he had to live a certain life and be a certain way. Dean Summers says Daniel
00:22:36
had later confided in him about those feelings. It was the last time Dean saw him sometime in the year before Violet's
00:22:45
death. >> He was not talkative. He just looked very unhappy. And I said, "Daniel,
00:22:50
what's wrong?" That's when he says Daniel unloaded a laundry list of complaints.
00:22:57
>> I hate my life. I hate being married. I hate what I'm doing for a living. I hate
00:23:02
my mother. I hate my father. Those were his words. And I was just taking it back.
00:23:08
>> He says Daniel complained about how both his parents, his mother in particular,
00:23:14
had controlled every aspect of his life, even pushed him into dentistry and marriage. I asked him, "Why don't you
00:23:21
just break free of it and and live your own life?" He goes, "I can't. I'm not making any money. They basically help
00:23:29
support me." He felt he was stuck because he's financially dependent on them. >> Although Daniel had at one point owned
00:23:36
his own practice, he now worked for other dentists. Even though he said he hated his parents, did you get any sense
00:23:43
that he might hurt his mother? >> Never. Never. But according to investigators, after his father died,
00:23:51
Daniel's relationship with his mother and access to the family fortune became more complicated.
00:23:59
They had received a tip early on from Dr. Elena Spectre, who was Violet's sister-in-law at the time. She tells me
00:24:08
that Daniel has had an obsession with money and control of the estate for some time that Violet would confide in her.
00:24:21
>> Detectives went back and reviewed the video of their interview with Daniel on
00:24:25
October 13th. >> During a period when Daniel was left alone, he had contacted his sister. We
00:24:34
leave the interview room, but it's still recording. >> He says Daniel didn't realize that his
00:24:40
sister was with other detectives in another room. >> Daniel starts sending texts to the
00:24:46
sister about, "Hey, just remember I was doing CPR, too." Daniel wrote, "I remember we both doing chest
00:24:55
compressions one at a time, but both of us just to keep the story straight." >> The sister tells the detectives, "You
00:25:04
know what? He's sending me some weird text." So, she calls him. >> Hey. Hey. >> And again, these are being recorded
00:25:10
separately, but you can hear it all. >> What is this about chest compressions? >> When Dena called Daniel, she told him
00:25:17
that she had done the compressions. No, no, no, Dan. I did the chest compressions and you called 911.
00:25:24
>> No, but >> No, no, you didn't. >> Daniel, speaking in Russian, insisted he had as well.
00:25:36
>> Daniel is trying to put himself on the body >> cuz he's concerned there's DNA on the
00:25:40
body. >> He's concerned there's DNA. That's exactly it. >> Detectives were convinced that Daniel
00:25:46
was likely lying about where he was on Monday. October 9th, the night Violet died. But they couldn't prove it until
00:25:54
they received his cell phone records the following week. >> The cell phone records blew his story
00:26:00
out of the water. He wasn't in Englewood at all. >> No. On that day, >> the phone records placed Daniel in
00:26:07
Beverly Hills and not just driving through. And not only that, police had obtained footage from Nest security
00:26:14
cameras inside Daniel's house that showed him arriving home around 8:00 p.m. that night. Later, they saw this
00:26:23
man typing at a computer. They were surprised to learn who it was. >> We didn't know Daniel was bald.
00:26:32
>> And here he is with his hairpiece at the same computer 40 minutes after he came
00:26:38
home. You don't know what he's typing until we get the results from the computer search from our forensic team
00:26:45
and he does a search of latent fingerprints on human skin. And that's when I knew it's time. We got to go
00:26:51
arrest him. He killed his mother and he did it for the money. >> I was getting ready to retire. I wanted
00:27:05
to be the one to walk up and put the handcuffs on him. >> On February 12th, 2018, 4 months after
00:27:12
launching the investigation into Violet Yakobe's death, Beverly Hills detectives
00:27:18
George Elwell and Mark Schwarz arrested Daniel Yakobe at home for his mother's murder. What was his reaction?
00:27:26
>> Not shock, like he just sunk into himself. >> And the first thing he asked me, he
00:27:30
says, "Can I get my toup pay?" Daniel Yakobe was denied bail and would spend more than seven years in jail due
00:27:38
to court delays before finally going on trial for murder in July 2025. Los Angeles County Deputy District
00:27:47
Attorney Shane Michaels says the evidence shows that Yakobe strangled his mother for financial gain.
00:27:54
>> It's a very personal type of crime. You have to physically squeeze the life out
00:28:01
of someone. That's what strangulation is. >> According to the autopsy report, Violet
00:28:07
had paticia around her eyes and face, the rupturing of small blood vessels, a classic sign of strangulation.
00:28:16
>> There was also very significant abrasion on her jawline. There was a separate
00:28:23
abrasion just below that on her neck. >> We're talking about a line around here.
00:28:28
>> Yeah. But at trial, the defense presented a very different theory. >> The truth is that she wasn't killed.
00:28:35
Period. Full stop. End of story. >> Dr. Larry Sims is a forensic pathologist and a former medical examiner in Las
00:28:43
Vegas, Nevada, who says he has conducted about 10,000 autopsies. You don't believe that Violet Yakovi was murdered?
00:28:52
>> No. >> But her son went on trial for her murder. >> That is correct. And I testified at that
00:28:57
trial. >> Dr. Sims rejected violet's official cause of death. >> There was no evidence that she was
00:29:04
strangled. Period. >> Not >> none. >> Dr. Sims says the petikia were just sunspots and those marks across Violet's
00:29:13
neck, skin folds. What's more, he says the deputy medical examiner missed injuries that pointed away from
00:29:22
strangulation and toward a fall from the seconds story landing. >> This is where the fracture is right
00:29:28
here. >> Violet had a spinal fracture that was not mentioned anywhere in the autopsy
00:29:34
report. Are you at all concerned that the autopsy that you were relying on for this prosecution had errors in it?
00:29:44
That's a pretty big mistake, isn't it? >> Yeah. Well, when we talk about, you know, errors, I think that was an
00:29:52
omission. That wasn't the only omission. The same deputy medical examiner also failed to take note of rib fractures,
00:30:02
including several on her back. He didn't testify at trial and the prosecution tried to address the problem, pointing
00:30:11
out that the injuries had been photographed and that none of them contributed to Violet's death. The
00:30:19
medical examiner's office declined to comment for this story. I've handled many homicide cases. I've never seen an
00:30:26
autopsy with so many mistakes. And that was a deeply troubling part for the prosecution to have to explain. Julie
00:30:34
Randleman, a criminal defense attorney and former homicide prosecutor, is a 48 Hours consultant who reviewed the case.
00:30:43
>> It left in a sense open for an expert on the defense side to kind of jump in and
00:30:48
say, "These mistakes are so overwhelming, we have to start to question everything about this case."
00:30:55
Daniel Yakobe's trial became a battle of experts with five doctors testifying about how and why Violet died, including
00:31:04
a new deputy medical examiner brought in by prosecutors who agreed with the finding of esphyxia due to neck
00:31:12
compression. >> But Dr. since told the jury that he believed Violet's death was instead
00:31:18
caused by a rare mass of blood vessels in her brain stem called an arteriovenous
00:31:24
malf for AVM. >> This is an arteriovenenous malf for here that's in the fourth ventricle.
00:31:32
>> This is what you think contributed to Violet's death. >> Yes. >> He says he spotted the problem in this
00:31:38
microscopic slide of Violet's brain stem. According to Dr. Sims, the AVM had hemorrhage, causing Violet to become
00:31:48
disoriented. >> She's stumbling around and she slammed into the railing before she went over
00:31:54
the railing. >> The defense presented a photo superimposing the abrasion against a
00:32:01
star-shaped design on the railing. Dr. Sims says it's a match. This is a very unusual patterned injury and it fits it
00:32:12
perfectly. >> Is this at all possible that Violet could have died because of a medical
00:32:19
event and fallen down >> for me? No. I went up and down every inch of that railing and there's
00:32:27
absolutely no physical evidence to show that anything went over that railing. I look at the body.
00:32:38
Those are things that are hard evidence that speaks to me. >> Prosecutor Shane Michael argued that Dr.
00:32:46
Sims simply cherrypicked the evidence and disputes his theory about the cause of that odd abrasion.
00:32:54
>> He didn't know the dimensions of the star. If you were to fall and smack your
00:33:00
chin on a piece of metal, you would not expect an abrasion. you'd expect to see bruising. You might see a cut, bleeding.
00:33:09
>> And he says Violet had osteopenia, a weakening of the bones. >> The 67year-old woman would have had to
00:33:17
have been on the floor with her back arked like in a, you know, yoga class, cobra pose, to get her chin flush with
00:33:25
that. >> What do you think then caused that V mark on her chin? >> Her son's strangling her.
00:33:33
The prosecution's radiologist also testified that if Violet had fallen from the railing, he would expect to see more
00:33:42
catastrophic injuries. >> There was no skull fracture. There were no fractures in her arms. There were no
00:33:49
fractures in her legs. There was no pelvic fracture. There was nothing on the floor that would be consistent with
00:33:55
falling from approximately 13 ft onto a marble floor. The other doctors testified there was no brain hemorrhage,
00:34:04
nor did they say they saw an AVM, including the neuropathologist who created the very slides Dr. Sims
00:34:12
used to form his opinion. The fact that you have dueling medical experts who can't agree on how Violet Yakobe died,
00:34:23
doesn't that add up to reasonable doubt? It can. If you can convince the jury to
00:34:30
believe that she died of natural causes, then Daniel Yukobi's not guilty of a crime.
00:34:49
Prosecutor Shane Michael used the trail of evidence left by Daniel Yakobi to show that his relationship with his
00:34:56
mother had reached a breaking point in October 2017 and that greed for the family fortune
00:35:04
worth an estimated $13 million had fueled his plot to kill Violet. Do you believe that he killed his mother
00:35:15
because he wanted his inheritance early? Yes. >> The defense disputes that Yakobe was in
00:35:22
the process of buying a new dental practice and had recently secured a million dollar loan. Still, his now
00:35:30
ex-wife admitted in court they had lived beyond their means. And Shane Michael pointed to Yakob's own statements.
00:35:39
>> He was regularly talking about his need for money and need to make more money. A
00:35:44
family friend testified that Yakobe had asked him about inheritance tax a couple
00:35:49
of weeks before Violet's death. >> The ideation and thought of killing his mom had been building.
00:36:00
The prosecutor also presented a timeline of Yakobe's online searches going back to August of 2017 that he said revealed
00:36:11
Yakobe's plan to murder his mother and stage the scene. He was searching unexplained deaths, death statistics,
00:36:21
things like choke holds, bruises caused by chokeolds, falling downstairs, that he was trying to figure out a way to
00:36:29
deflect any suspicion that might be pointing toward him. >> Of particular interest to the
00:36:35
prosecution was a YouTube video. >> This is the rear naked choke >> demonstrating what's known as a rear
00:36:42
naked chokeold. They played it at trial. It's certainly the kind of chokeold that
00:36:49
could cause abrasions similar to the ones that we saw in the photos of Mrs. Jacobe.
00:36:56
>> The prosecution theorized that Yakobe caused the spinal and rib fractures while choking Violet from behind.
00:37:04
>> If he's choking her from behind, you assume he's applying as much pressure as
00:37:08
he can. If he's lifting her off the ground, if he's got his hip in her back, there are any number of ways that you
00:37:15
could apply force to her back. >> Do you believe that is how Violet Yakobe died? That her son actually used his own
00:37:26
arm to kill his mother? >> I do. Yes. >> And detectives Elwell and Schwarz say Yakobe's DNA under Violet's fingernails
00:37:37
proves it. Did you notice any kind of scratches on him? >> We weren't looking. The DNA is under her
00:37:43
fingernails for a reason. He's asking about DNA for a reason. He did the research. It was calculated.
00:37:49
>> Detective Schwarz had done some calculations of his own using data from Daniel's iPhone Facebook account, and he
00:37:58
says it places Daniel at his mother's house at the time he believes she was killed.
00:38:04
One of the things that came back in the Facebook records were latitude longitude
00:38:10
coordinates. >> Schwarz used those coordinates to pull video from the city's closed circuit
00:38:16
cameras and security cameras from Violet's neighbors. >> We were able to track his movement
00:38:23
through the whole day into the next day. That's Daniel Yakobe's white Jaguar in Beverly Hills
00:38:31
traffic on October 9th before the prosecutor describes him stalking his mother's house.
00:38:39
>> He was driving up and down the street at least two or three times. >> Around 4:00, Daniel Yakob's car appeared
00:38:48
on the next door neighbor's security footage. A few minutes later, it popped up again on another home security camera
00:38:56
in the alley behind Violet's house. >> Almost like a shark. He's circling the block and he's going down the alley. He
00:39:04
pulls up right around here just behind the residence and for whatever reason he stops
00:39:13
and then he slowly backs up. He never gets out and he's not moving the garbage cans back there. He is in the car
00:39:20
presumably looking into the back of his mother's property. >> Then he drives away, but Facebook
00:39:28
coordinates place him at his mother's house from 6:39 p.m. until 7:48 that night.
00:39:37
>> How he entered the house, don't know. Don't know if he rang the doorbell. Don't know if he snuck around the side.
00:39:42
What the data establishes, according to the prosecution, is that Violet was alive when Daniel arrived and by the
00:39:51
time he left, she was dead. Afterwards, Yakobe drove straight home. >> Now, we have his Nest camera and almost
00:40:00
to the second, you're seeing him walk through the door. Less than 45 minutes after walking in, he was typing in that
00:40:09
search for latent fingerprints on human skin. >> 22 plus hours before his mother's body
00:40:16
was located, he was already thinking about what evidence might have been left behind at the scene.
00:40:22
>> It's evidence of consciousness of guilt, says Shane Michael. and Yakobe would do
00:40:28
it again the following morning when he went back to the scene for less than four minutes and then drove back home at
00:40:37
around 1:00. He contacted a financial investor via Skype. If I get a mill, I'd want you to manage it.
00:40:46
>> A million dollars in six hours before his mother's body is found. His belief was that he was coming into money. In
00:40:53
late August 2025, after three weeks of testimony and nearly eight years after Violet's death, the jury got the case.
00:41:03
>> They come back not guilty. On some level, this guy has gotten away with murder.
00:41:07
>> After deliberating for nearly 5 and 1/2 hours over two days, the jury was unanimous.
00:41:15
Guilty of firstdegree murder for financial gain. It's a judgment that carries a mandatory
00:41:22
life sentence without the possibility of parole. >> This broke that family apart. Very sad
00:41:30
that it ended that way. >> I feel for Violet and I feel for Daniel. >> You feel for Daniel, too?
00:41:37
>> I feel for him. Yeah. What in the world made him do that? Welcome to Postmortem. I'm CBS News
00:42:18
correspondent Tracy Smith filling in as host and today we're discussing the death of 67year-old Violet Yakobi. On
00:42:26
October 10th, 2017, Violet was found dead in her Beverly Hills home. And responding officers initially suspected
00:42:33
it might be a suicide. But when the autopsy report determined she died from asphixxia due to neck compression or
00:42:41
strangulation, her case turned into a homicide investigation. Joining me today is 48 hours
00:42:47
correspondent Aaron Morardi, who reported on this case. It's always great to talk with you, Aaron, and I'm excited
00:42:52
to get your take on this. Well, this is actually a case from your part of the country. Um, and as you know well, there
00:42:59
aren't a lot of murders in Beverly Hills. The investigators assigned to this case actually had more experience
00:43:06
investigating robberies and home invasions than homicides. But, as it turned out, that experience gave them
00:43:13
the skills they needed to crack this case. So, it's a very interesting one. >> I definitely want to dig into it. Uh,
00:43:20
but first a reminder to everyone. If you haven't watched or listened to this episode, Beverly Hills 911, go check it
00:43:26
out now and then come back for our conversation. All right, let's get into it. On the evening of October 10th,
00:43:32
2017, Violet's son, Daniel, and daughter, Dena, arrived at their mother's home in Beverly Hills,
00:43:37
California. They discovered Violet on the floor of her entryway beneath a large curving staircase. And Daniel
00:43:44
called 911. Let's take a listen to some portions of that 911 call. Um, yeah, we're doing CPR.
00:43:52
>> You're doing CPR right now? >> Yeah. >> Do you need me to walk you through it or
00:43:56
does somebody know it? >> No, we're both doctors. >> You're both doctors. Okay. We have
00:44:02
>> Never mind. >> Okay. But you know CPR? >> Yes. >> Okay. How long ago did you like last see
00:44:09
her? Like how long has she been like that? Do you know? >> No, I have no >> Okay. Are you You're saying she's cold
00:44:16
to Would you touch her? Yes. >> Okay. Our units are going there as fast as they can. Okay. Hold on one second.
00:44:23
Let me just get the paramedics going. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Who's doing CPR? >> My sister.
00:44:31
>> Your sister's doing CPR. Okay. >> That was so good to start with that because this is really important because
00:44:40
as you can hear, Daniel tells the operator that his sister was performing CPR. But then later that day, it's it's
00:44:48
odd, he told detectives that he did CPR, too. He said he did the compressions. Then when detectives talked to Dena, his
00:44:56
sister, she said, "No, she was the one who did CPR." And why does that matter? Because to investigators,
00:45:04
why from the very beginning is he changing his story? And they wondered if Daniel wanted to provide an explanation
00:45:11
if in fact his DNA was found on his mother. On the other hand, Daniel was very willing to talk to detectives on
00:45:19
the very day that they found Violet dead, and he told them why he and his sister had gone over. According to
00:45:26
Daniel, his uncle had called him that day asking if he had heard from his mother. His uncle said he hadn't heard
00:45:33
from her all day, which Daniel and just about everybody else said was unusual. Daniel said then he called his sister,
00:45:40
Dena. And here's an important issue. He says they arrived at their mother's house at the very same time. He said
00:45:47
finding their mother was like a blur, which makes sense, but he says he remembered doing CPR right away and then
00:45:56
his sister doing CPR. What was interesting is although first responders wondered if it was a suicide,
00:46:04
Daniel actually told investigators that he saw bruising and maybe Violet had been strangled.
00:46:10
>> Wow. But initially, investigators believed Violet's death might have been a suicide. Why is that?
00:46:16
>> Well, Tracy, this is what is called an unattended death that this uh widow is
00:46:23
found alone on on the floor of her home. When Beverly Hills police detective Mark
00:46:29
Schwarz first got any information, he said he was told that Violet was depressed and maybe fell over the
00:46:36
railing of the staircase. It was true that she had just marked the one-year anniversary of her husband's death. Her
00:46:43
dog had died. She had also cancelled her cleaning lady. All those things make you
00:46:49
think that maybe she didn't want anyone to be around her on that day. And then there was another early thought. Violet
00:46:57
was part of a close-knit Jewish community where suicide can be considered shameful and taboo. Detective
00:47:05
Schwarz is also Jewish. So, he brought up the possibility that Violet had taken her life and that her kids covered it
00:47:12
up. >> And as investigators dug deeper, what else did they learn about the Yakobe
00:47:18
family? >> Well, from the outside, the Yakobi family seemed to be very close, and they
00:47:25
also appeared to be living the American dream. Violet lived in a multi-million dollar house in Beverly Hills and Daniel
00:47:33
was living nearby with his wife and new baby. Um, Violet and her husband were immigrants. Her husband had been a
00:47:41
successful doctor. Daniel also appeared to be very successful. He pursued a medical profession as a dentist and Dena
00:47:50
worked in physical therapy. >> You know, it sounds like they're living the American dream. Murders don't happen
00:47:55
very often in Beverly Hills. So, how did investigators begin to suspect foul play?
00:47:59
>> Well, Tracy, that's where that background in burglaries comes in, because these guys don't investigate a
00:48:06
lot of homicides, but they do do burglaries. Detective George Elwell was one of the first detectives at the crime
00:48:13
scene the night that Violet's body was found. Um, and as he told us, he noticed dust still covered much of the staircase
00:48:22
railing, and he didn't think that anything, including Violet, could have gone over the railing without disturbing
00:48:29
that dust. Uh, Detective Elwell also said that when he looked down from the top of the railing, he couldn't see
00:48:36
Violet's feet because they were under the staircase. He said he wasn't an expert in physics, but he said he didn't
00:48:44
believe that her body could end up under the staircase from a fall that she would
00:48:47
have ended up further out. There was also no rope or obvious weapon beside her, which is why Mark Schwarz wondered
00:48:55
if she had taken her life, if the kids had hidden it. And both detectives also felt that Daniel was acting peculiar
00:49:03
when they met him. Detective Schwarz said he had a nervous energy. That's how he described it. and seemed too eager to
00:49:11
help with the investigation. But we still should note here, and I think you know this too, Tracy, that
00:49:18
it's really hard to judge Daniel's behavior in his initial police interviews or even on the 911 call
00:49:25
because if in fact he's telling the truth, he had just found his mother the bottom of the staircase. And you never
00:49:32
know how a grieving person is going to behave. >> Yeah, we've talked about this before. I
00:49:37
mean, this is a stressful situation. So, just because somebody's acting strangely
00:49:41
doesn't necessarily mean they're guilty. All right. So, on October 13th, nearly 3
00:49:46
days after Violet's body was found, the deputy medical examiner completed the autopsy and determined that Violet's
00:49:53
official cause of death was esphixia by neck compression. With the case now being investigated as a homicide,
00:50:00
detectives Schwarz and Elwell asked Daniel to come back for another interview. And they asked point blank if
00:50:06
he killed Violet. What'd he say? I mean, he clearly became a person of interest early on, but denied killing his mother.
00:50:14
In fact, he told detectives that he and his mother were close. He said he sent her baby photos all the time. But then
00:50:22
when detectives look at his phone, actually the last photo that he texted his mother was his bank account.
00:50:32
>> Yeah, that was an incriminating moment. This isn't in the hour, but when police
00:50:38
questioned him about his finances and business plans, Daniel mentions a business venture called Dental Dan in a
00:50:46
Can that he was trying to launch with a neighbor, Dean Summers, who is a brother
00:50:52
of that neighbor, described this venture as a subscriptionbased business for dental products. Let's take a listen to
00:51:00
some portions of Daniel's police interview. It's fascinating with the detectives asking him about his
00:51:07
finances. You're >> starting a new business, right? >> Well, I I'm starting a few businesses
00:51:14
and I'm >> How's that going? >> Good. >> How's that going financially? >> It's obviously hard. Always starting a
00:51:22
new business. Dental Dan and I can is tough. It's It took a lot out of me. >> Did you ask for her for any money? Oh
00:51:32
>> yeah. >> When? >> Like like just few months back >> and you have the money for all these
00:51:43
businesses? >> Well, I mean it's it's No, I don't. Okay. >> But it's a work in progress.
00:52:00
>> Who gets the house? I do. >> Is it paid off? >> Yes. >> How much is that house worth?
00:52:11
>> A lot. >> So now I'm the number one suspect. >> It's not about number one suspects. It's
00:52:20
the fact that again I'm still trying to figure out what happened and and I don't
00:52:26
and I don't think you're being forthcoming. >> So many things here. Uh, dental Dan in a
00:52:32
can has a certain ring to it, but it's interesting how when they start asking about finances, he immediately goes,
00:52:37
"Oh, I'm the number one suspect." Um, what did you find out about his dental practice and Daniel's finances?
00:52:45
>> This is what we know. He very briefly owned his own practice, but at this point was working for other dentists in
00:52:51
their offices. He was planning on buying a practice in Englewood with a partner and as far as we know was in the process
00:52:59
of securing a million dollar loan. So on the face of it, that doesn't sound like
00:53:05
a person in serious financial straits. >> But at trial, Daniel's ex-wife later testified that she recalled witnessing
00:53:13
an argument between Daniel and his mother about money about a month or two before Violet died. And that was the
00:53:21
same time frame that Daniel was trying to purchase the new practice. And Daniel's uncle, who was Violet's
00:53:29
brother, also testified that Violet said she would not give Daniel the money because she knew he was going to get a
00:53:36
loan. So that seemed to contradict what he had told detectives. >> Investigators believed that Violet
00:53:42
likely died 24 hours before Daniel's 911 call on October 10th. So, detectives Schwarz and Elwell questioned him about
00:53:51
his whereabouts on October 9th, and Daniel said he'd been at his dental office all day and then drove straight
00:53:57
home, but he couldn't give a clear account of his route, which as someone living in Southern California raises
00:54:04
suspicions for me because we all know our routes, I would think so. And if you listen to the whole police interview,
00:54:11
sadly, it's almost comical how convoluted his description of his route home is. I mean, I did think like maybe
00:54:18
if you changed it every day, maybe you'd be confused, but detectives believed that he was lying. But they couldn't
00:54:26
quite prove he was. Not yet. The week after Violet Yakobe's body was discovered, detectives obtained Daniel
00:54:36
Yakob's cell phone records, and the data showed he was not in Englewood at all that day of Violet's death, but he was
00:54:44
in Beverly Hills. And not only that, police had obtained footage from Nest security cameras inside Daniel's house
00:54:52
that show him arriving home around 8:00 p.m. that night. So, when investigators looked at the footage from Daniel's
00:55:00
home, that's when, and this is the oddest moment, they see a bald man typing at Daniel's computer. And that's
00:55:10
the first time they realized that Daniel was actually bald. It was Daniel without
00:55:15
a toupe. And what's important about that footage is that's also the computer according to investigators where Daniel
00:55:24
did internet searching that included quote latent fingerprints on human skin, how to restrain a woman,
00:55:34
how to search Google in private, and a lot of searches about choke holds. And once detectives had collected data from
00:55:43
his computer, they had that and from his phone, detectives felt they had enough evidence to arrest Daniel for the
00:55:51
murder. And the motive they say uh that Daniel killed his mother to get an early
00:55:57
inheritance. >> So on February 12th, 2018, Daniel Yakobe was arrested for his mother's murder.
00:56:05
And of all the things that he could have said at that moment, Aaron, can you talk
00:56:09
about what he asked for? >> The first thing that Daniel asked the police for was to get his toupe.
00:56:17
Detective Schwarz told us that it was telling to him that Daniel asked for his toupe during the arrest, that his
00:56:25
appearance was important to him. And the fact that he has a child and wife, but the first thing he asked for is his toup
00:56:32
pay. That was tragic. Detective Schwarz also said that Daniel did not seem surprised to be arrested. I mean, he
00:56:40
seemed low-key to me through all of it. So, I'm not s I'm not surprised he didn't appear surprised. And we also
00:56:47
should note that investigators say that Daniel was arrested only after they first investigated and cleared Dena, the
00:56:54
sister, and other family members. >> And you're right, it's so telling about the toupe that that you know, it says
00:57:00
something about keeping up appearances. It's sad. It's incredibly sad. >> So, detectives secured longitude and
00:57:07
latitude coordinates from Daniel's Facebook account that they say place him at his mother's house at the time they
00:57:14
believe that Violet was killed. And I have to say, this is one of those moments in the hour where I went, whoa,
00:57:20
they could get all of that from Facebook. Well, in fact, when the detectives told
00:57:26
me that, I actually actually removed my location from Facebook. I did that too when I watched your
00:57:33
>> Exactly. I, you know, I knew that they got information from us, but I didn't realize it was that specific. But this
00:57:43
information became key for investigators. Um, because Beverly Hills has a lot of traffic and surveillance
00:57:51
cameras. And once Detective Schwarz had those coordinates, then he could go to the city's closed circuit cameras and
00:57:59
security cameras from Violet's neighbors and he could find Daniel's car. Otherwise, as you can imagine, going
00:58:07
through all that video, it would have been impossible to find Daniel on his car because there's just so much
00:58:12
footage. Detective Schwarz told us that the footage showed and and this really got to me, too. This is how he described
00:58:20
it. That Daniel was circling his mother's house almost like a shark the day of the murder. That that was a very
00:58:29
visual description to me. >> Yeah, what a strong metaphor. Like a shark. So, Daniel Yakobe was denied bail
00:58:37
and he spent more than seven years in jail awaiting his trial. Now, I've covered trials that have taken years to
00:58:43
actually happen, but how unusual is it to wait that long? >> Well, I think you're right. you are
00:58:49
living in California and as you know it is not unusual in California although I still think 7 years seemed very long. Um
00:58:58
that delay was in part due to co but it was also because Daniel switched legal teams a few times and that delayed it
00:59:06
too. >> So when the case did go to trial in July 2025, it seemed like the prosecution had
00:59:12
mostly a circumstantial case. So, there wasn't a lot of DNA evidence they could use at trial, but what they did find was
00:59:20
Daniel's DNA under Violet's fingernails. And that, according to the prosecutors,
00:59:27
was significant because, of course, they're arguing she fought him. Uh, Daniel had said he had not seen his
00:59:34
mother since Sunday, two days before she's found. So prosecutors thought that Daniel's DNA under his mother's
00:59:41
fingernails was very incriminating. >> The theory of the prosecution of how it got there is that he put her in a
00:59:49
chokeold and that she scratched at him trying to free herself. But I should point out her fingernails were not
00:59:56
damaged. So that was troubling to me when I realized that. >> At the same time, he was searching choke
01:00:04
holds. Besides this evidence, what else did the prosecution present at trial? >> Well, there's not one piece of smoking
01:00:12
gun evidence. The prosecution, and we hear this all the time, had to put together the puzzle. You know, the
01:00:19
evidence to paint a picture. Uh they pointed to Daniel's own timeline of where he said he was and where he really
01:00:27
was and the conflicting stories. And one of the examples is according to the DA,
01:00:34
Daniel kept telling detectives that he and his sister arrived at the house at the same time. But in fact, the video
01:00:42
showed Daniel arriving 6 minutes before his sister arrived, sat and waited in his car for 3 to four minutes, drives
01:00:51
away, and then comes back. Detectives believe it was all part of Daniel's plan to have his sister there so that they
01:00:59
could discover the body together. Uh the traffic and surveillance videos and Daniel's Facebook account coordinates
01:01:06
also showed that he was lying about where he said he was. >> All right, so the prosecution makes
01:01:14
their case. Now it's the defense's turn. The defense, on the other hand, argued that Violet Yakobe died of natural
01:01:22
causes. Dr. Larry Sims, a forensic pathologist and former medical examiner, testified that he didn't believe that
01:01:28
Violet was murdered. Now, this is a guy who's done thousands of autopsies. And Aaron, you spoke with him. What did you
01:01:36
make of Dr. Sims argument? >> I I'm going to be honest. I walked away from my interview with Dr. Sims with
01:01:42
real doubts about this case >> because he said to me when I asked him about this, he said this was not a
01:01:50
murder and he was very convincing. According to Dr. Sims, he found no evidence that Violet was strangled. Even
01:01:57
though the prosecution says that there were marks on Violet's face that they call peticia, which are tiny little
01:02:04
bright red hemorrhages that are common with strangulation. He says that those were actually sunspots. And he says that
01:02:12
the line on her neck was actually skinfolds. He pointed to a microscopic slide of
01:02:20
Violet's brain stem to say that her death and he showed pointed it out to me was caused by a rare mass of blood
01:02:28
vessels in her brain stem called and I hope I say this properly arteriovenenous malf for what is called an AVM which he
01:02:39
believes hemorrhaged and then caused her to become disoriented and then fall over
01:02:44
the staircase. Dr. Sims also pointed out to us that the deputy medical examiner who did the original autopsy actually
01:02:53
missed injuries that pointed towards a fall that Violet actually had spinal and rib fractures that were not mentioned in
01:03:02
the autopsy, although they were photographed and they were documented in imaging. Um, we wanted to talk to that
01:03:10
deputy medical examiner because he didn't testify at trial, but the LA County Medical Examiner's Office
01:03:16
declined to be interviewed as part of our report. So, we've never heard him explain it, but it was uh an issue at
01:03:24
trial. >> Yeah. I mean, that's a big It sounds like a big thing to miss, spinal fractures and rib fractures. And so,
01:03:31
they're bringing in more and more experts. So, this trial became a battle of the experts. There were five doctors
01:03:36
that testified at that trial about how and why Violet died. >> Yeah, and I always find that to be a
01:03:42
problem in these cases. Um, you might too, Tracy. Uh, we've seen this time and time again. You have people disagreeing.
01:03:50
Some people see something, some people see something else, and I fear that jurors don't know which medical expert
01:03:56
to believe, and in the end, they could just dial it all out. >> Just tune it all out. Yeah, I get that.
01:04:03
So, they did deliberate for nearly 5 and 1/2 hours over 2 days. But when the jury
01:04:09
came back, uh they were unanimous guilty of firstdegree murder for financial gain. And this is a judgment that
01:04:15
carries a mandatory life sentence without a possibility of parole. >> He threw his life away for a few more
01:04:23
dollars. Um he had so much, a wife, a new baby. Um it's just very very sad. And also when I did some research, I
01:04:34
realized just how rare mattress is. It's just a very tragic trajectory. Tragic indeed. A fascinating case. And also a
01:04:44
reminder that you may think that you're going around somewhere and no one is watching, but there are cameras
01:04:50
everywhere. And if you have your cell phone with you, there's always some way to track you. Thank you so much, Erin.
01:04:56
It's always so good to talk with you. Yeah, it's always good seeing you, Tracy, and thanks for doing this with me
01:05:01
today. >> My pleasure. And if you like this episode, please rate and review on Apple
