She was enchanted by him, but prosecutors say that he found his mark.

Hello there, Lester.

Pleasure to talk with you about this.

Sue Markham was an accounting and taxation professor at AU's School of Business.

All of her students said that she was a wonderful teacher.

Well, Sue met Jorge Landeros in a Spanish class that he was teaching.

They became friends in the months and years after that.

The word was enchanted, and according to prosecutors, over the next several years, he preyed upon her.

In 2008, they came up with a plan that they would be doing some day trading together.

Sue Markham was the one who bankrolled it.

By 2009, all of the money that the two had been working together with was gone.

Then, according to prosecutors, he killed her.

Police eventually found out that Sue Ann Markham had a $500,000 life insurance policy and that Jorge Landeros was the sole beneficiary.

The fact that Jorge Landeros was the sole beneficiary was something that was repeated for years.

This was a motive.

Which brings us to the crime itself.

Can you tell us what we know about the crime?

According to prosecutors, on October 24th, 2010, Sue Markham and Jorge Landeros had a fight.

According to police and prosecutors, Landeros smashed her on the head with a tequila bottle and strangled her to death in the basement.

Well, crime scene investigators lifted potential fingerprints and they took DNA swabs from Sue Markham's body.
