So right here in this general area is where the caretaker was living at. When he went for a walk up this little off-road, when he found her initially... I wasn't even sure if it was real at first. I thought it might be some kind of a prank it on. Actually, I did reach down and touch her hand. That feels like flesh and bone to me. But when we found Anna Repkina's body, we were able to see that her feet were probably down in about this location. And her head was pointed back towards the forest here. And one of the first things we noticed when we made it our way to the landing is there's pieces of trash and there was garbage. One of the biggest pieces of evidence that we found in this case was a KFC bag. Along the edge of that clear bag there was a receipt that had the date of the 14th. So April 14th, which is only a few days prior. Who was Anna Repkina? Anna was 27 years old and she came from a good strong family in Russia. She wanted somebody to love her, wanted to have kids and so that's why she went on to the dating website. She happened to find Will Hargrove. He's always trying to make people laugh, making sure that everybody else is happy, trying to push them to become the better person that they can be. He was complimentary to her. He sent her flowers from the United States to Russia. He paid attention to her. With everything that he had explained to me, everything he had told me Anna was the love of his life. The sense that you got from Anna Repkina was that she was in love. This wasn't coming to the United States as some mail order bride. How does Michelle Chavez fit into this case? Well Michelle Chavez is the other woman. She is that third part of the triangle. He made me feel special. He has a charisma about him. It's like everything he's saying. He truly believes and you believe it. He makes you believe. Especially if you're in love and you want to believe it. Yeah. And you were in love. That was. And it was always I choose you. It was. How much pressure was he getting from Michelle to end it with Anna? I know for a fact that Michelle didn't want Anna even over here in the states. He was basically given the ultimatum of one or the other. And two days later, Anna was found dead.
