Toni Hartzong

No valuables were taken.

She wasn't raped.

Another cousin, Alyssa LeJune, thinks this was not a random murder.

Do you think she knew her killer?

And others began to wonder about the person Tony knew best, Bob Hartsong.

Just days after he found his wife Toni murdered in their home, Bob Hartsong led local media on a tour of the crime scene.

I just want to know who and why.

You invited the media into your home.

Why'd you do that?

They kept asking me and I finally said, okay, let's talk about it.

I was, you know, I could not believe that somebody in the world had done this.

Literally every part of Tony's body had a bruise to it.

Tim Valentine investigated the case for the state attorney's office.

Tony initially was beaten in this area.

We determined that by the amount of blood on the wall here and the amount of blood on the cement.

But Tony, described by everyone who knew her as one tough lady, did not stay down.

It was after collapsing again, investigators believe from the blood evidence, that Tony was stabbed seven times in the neck.

The brutality associated to this case was well beyond the norm I had found in any case.

Bob knew investigators would suspect him of the murder.

Homicide 101 checked the surviving spouse out thoroughly.
