Dad was always a role model to me. What I've always told everyone, if I could be half the physician he was, that
00:00:07
would be a successful life. His patients loved him. He was just a wonderful guy who would do anything for
00:00:14
anyone. In the years to come, you're going to have all kinds of unwanted information and
00:00:22
advice, but you're not going to get it from me. At least you're not going to get it tonight. To say Steven Schwarz's
00:00:28
life was extraordinary is an understatement. Besides his medical practice, he owned a vast array of
00:00:35
rental properties and lived in this expensive waterfront home with his second wife, Becky. She managed both his
00:00:43
medical office and investments worth somewhere between 20 and $30 million. When things get rough, and they will get
00:00:52
rough, just remember this. Yes, dear. She had a wonderful life with her husband. She had everything with him.
00:01:04
They owned 38 houses. I built them. I built from scratch. Leo Draga was hired by the Schwarzes. Took care of the many
00:01:13
properties that they owned. He was a family friend. I became really close with the family.
00:01:25
Carpet Springs Police, can I help you? Hi, somebody I just walked into my house and
00:01:30
um somebody robbed my house. It first came in as a burglary call at a Tarpon Springs mansion. Tonight, it's a murder
00:01:38
mystery. Dr. Steven Schwarz died violently, strangled, stabbed several times, shot in the neck and in the head,
00:01:48
and left in a pool of blood in his own house dead. Anton Straa, who goes by the name of
00:01:59
Leo, has been arrested and charged with murder in the first degree of Dr. Steven
00:02:04
Schwarz. I didn't do it. I didn't kill the man. I was set up. Who is ultimately responsible for the murder of Dr. Steven
00:02:12
Schwarz? Rebecca Schwarz, she asked me to find someone to kill Dr. Schwarz. When Dr. Schwarz dies, who benefits? The
00:02:23
list of people is short. While this homicide investigation document listed Becky Schwarz as a suspect, she has
00:02:32
never been charged with anything related to her husband's murder. And a dark secret long in Dr. Schwarz's past could
00:02:40
be a clue to unraveling this mystery. Steven had a dark side to him, a mystery side. Steven committed a murder here in
00:02:49
Hobbs, New Mexico. I know because I was there. When I found out Steven was murdered, I wondered, did it have any
00:02:59
connection to what occurred over 50 years ago?
