00:10In a community like Troup, Texas, a very tight-knit community.
00:13It would be unusual to have a great many burglaries in the community.
00:21Everybody knows each other. People just don't wander in and out of this community.
00:25These are people that recognize everybody.
00:30And when there's someone in the community they don't recognize, everyone knows about it and they talk about it.
00:35So this would not be the type of community where you'd expect to see a lot of burglaries.
00:41Because there was no forced entry, it led us to believe that she knew her killer.
00:48And you work your way out, the people closest to her and then you work out from there.
00:53Michael gave police his schedule for that day.
00:56He said he was out running errands, he went to a restaurant. He said he wasn't home at the time when this attack occurred.
01:03Nothing stood out to them. It seemed sensible.
01:06I would say if you lined 12 people up and asked a detective to pick out a killer in those 12 people.
01:14Michael Tab would have been one of the last individuals you would pick have picked out.
01:20Very nice-looking man, very well-spoken, very clean-cut, very well-dressed, very mild-mannered.
01:30As word of the murder spreads through town, residents tell police they saw several suspicious-looking men in the neighborhood that day.

00:15This is a really critical fact because it rules out robbery and burglary as a motive.
00:22But it also becomes clear that whoever murdered Marla just wanted her dead.
00:30But who would want the pastor's wife dead? And why?
00:35When authorities realized this wasn't a robbery, they had to take a closer look at Marla herself.
00:42Did Marla have someone who was angry with her?
