Blaine Alexander

What did he like to be called?

It had been a long journey from Leo's home country of Albania to Tarpon Springs, Florida.

How did you come to live in Florida?

He lived there with his cousin.

One cold winter day, he decided he was ready to see a warmer part of America.

Leo started working on jobs at first, then remodeling houses.

And eventually, Rebecca Schwartz hired him to help maintain their many rental homes.

Tell me your first impressions of Rebecca.

What did you first think of her when you met her?

Wild?

Rebecca was also generous.

She bought Leo and his wife a house and a truck.

So you all, you became close with the Schwartzes pretty quickly.

Whatever the label, handyman, contractor, surrogate son.

About two weeks after the murder, Detective Diebel asked Leo to come in for a chat.

Leo said he wanted to help police any way he could.

Like the detectives, Leo thought it had to be someone close to Dr. Schwartz.

And Leo said he would never harm the doctor.

They asked Leo the same question they'd asked everyone.

Where was he on the day of the murder?
