Appearances
Lex and Betty Bakker couldn't know it when they sat down for dinner that November night, but they were enjoying the last few moments of life as they knew it. The telephone rang.
It was a neighbor with news.
Oh, my God. Their only daughter, Farah, had been ambushed. Two bullets to her head.
Farah was 33, a mother of three, and she was dying. Medics rushed her to a chopper, but it was too late.
Bob Frotta, their daughter's estranged husband. They'd been married for 11 years and were involved in a messy divorce. He was fighting for the kids. She was fighting for the kids. A painful custody battle over seven-year-old Bradley, six-year-old Daniel, and four-year-old Amber was scheduled for trial in less than three weeks. Were you afraid for the safety of your friend, Farah? Yes, I was.
Kitty Waters Sneed worked alongside Farah at American Airlines for years and was Farah's closest friend. I knew it was Bob. Right away? Right away. To the outside world, Bob Frada was an upstanding citizen, working in public safety as both a police officer and a fireman.
A man who doted on his three children.
But there was apparently a very different side to Bob Frada.
Farah told Kitty her husband wanted her to do things to him sexually that not only embarrassed her, they sickened her.
Farrah detailed all of Bob's sexual desires in her divorce papers, and Frata's secret was about to become public record.
After her death, Detective Larry Davis read Farrah's papers. How strange were these requests? Real strange.
Farrah threw Bob out of the house, and as the court date approached, she seemed more and more on edge.
And police believe Farrah had good reason to be afraid of Bob.
Just months before her murder, Farrah called 911 in a panic, and Larry Davis rushed to her house.
The attacker broke in through a window and attacked Farah in front of her three young children. I woke up to my mother screaming. Bradley, the oldest, was just seven.
Farrah suspected the intruder was a friend of Bob Frotta's. Whoever it was fled, leaving an injured Farrah with her terrified children, and he was never caught. She thought her husband had something to do with it. In his gut, Detective Davis believed her, but without concrete proof, all he could do was warn Bob.
Four months later, Farah was dead and Detective Davis was called to the scene again.
In fact, Frata's alibi was hard to beat. Plenty of people saw him in church with his three young children while his wife was being murdered. But police were sure even if Bob wasn't at the scene, he at least had something to do with the killing, especially when they searched his car. What did they find in the car? $1,000. The $1,000 was in the glove compartment.
Bob explained that it was money to buy new carpeting. $1,000, is that unusual in these parts?
What sorts of suspicion?
