I'm Harlan Coben.
I've always been drawn to characters with real power
because the more power someone has,
the more they have to protect and the more they have to lose.
Linda Collins-Smith was an Arkansas state senator,
a woman who could impact the lives of thousands
with just a single vote.
But power is a double-edged sword.
For every ally you make, you create an enemy,
and that's where our mystery begins.
[suspenseful music]
- Arkansas State Police are investigating the death
of a former state senator.
Linda Collins-Smith was found dead at her home
last night in Randolph County.
- Why would anyone murder someone like Linda?
- Linda being a state senator
and her husband Phil being a circuit judge,
definitely a marriage that had a reputation.
Everybody knew 'em.
- She described to me that she was going through a divorce.
She shared some things with me that in her words
had made her terrified.
- Linda's death caused her colleagues in the Senate
to be very concerned right away.
Linda was nothing if not bold.
- She was just a stalwart in Arkansas politics.
- They're gonna find a way, and that's what
this bill ensures, that we take care
of everyone's special needs.
- Linda was very well-known all across the state,
and she was a pillar of the community.
A public official killed in such a brutal fashion,
it just devastates everyone.
- After Linda's body was found, within a few days,
a senator in Oklahoma was found dead.
- Maybe this is targeted political assassination.
- We do know that the state GOP confirmed the death
of the former senator.
- Linda had surveillance cameras set up
on the exterior of the house.
We found multiple locations where cameras--
brackets were located, but with no camera.
- Someone went to great lengths to try to cover that crime up.
[dramatic music]
- A crime happened here.
The past isn't what it seemed.
The story told turns out to be deception.
And just when you're sure you have the answer...
- 911, what is the address of your emergency?
Hello? Anyone there?
- There's one final twist.
[line ringing]
♪ ♪
- On June the 4, 2019,
the Randolph County Sheriff's Department 911 center
received a call from Butch Smith,
who reported that he had found his mother deceased.
- She was a former senator.
Everybody knew who Linda Collins-Smith was.
- With Mom being a fairly high-ranking politician,
she was always on social media.
If you didn't see a post at least one or two a day,
it would be out of character for her.
She had started looking into some lobbying type jobs
in D.C. and things like that.
- Linda had been on a trip to Washington D.C.
She arrived back on May the 27th.
On the 28th, people started taking notice
that they hadn't seen her make any comments or any posts.
- And then the family can't get in contact.
They're trying to call her, they're texting her,
and nobody can get ahold of Linda.
[ringtone playing]
- Linda's daughter had reached out to her brother Butch
and said, hey, I'm concerned about Mom.
- A few more days go by.
My sister Heather Tate called me.
She said, you know, there's something really wrong here.
She still hasn't responded back to me.
And my grandpa and I go to the house.
We found her suitcase was still not unpacked.
We didn't see any evidence of her, so we were going to leave.
And he said, do you smell that?
I did smell something.
I said, well, that almost smells like a dead animal.
So I lifted the tarp that was nearby,
and I see Mom wrapped up in my comforter.
You know, I didn't have to see her face to know it was her.
[somber music]
I said, I found her, to my grandpa.
And he wanted to come and see her, and I wouldn't let him.
I had to physically hold him back from--
[voice breaking] From seeing his daughter.
- Yep.
- Questions remain about the investigation
and the death of former senator Collins-Smith.
Neighbors told us she was a great person who stayed busy
and always had a welcoming smile.
- She just exudes an energy about her
that I think that everybody can see and pick up on.
- Help us to repeal PO in Arkansas.
Do what you do.
Thank you all. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Linda was one of the most charming,
happy, loving, good character Christian women
I've ever met in my life.
- She was an excellent mother.
If you were sick, she was there.
If there was trouble, she was there.
If there was any kind of a family function, she was there.
- And she'd walk in the room, immediately,
you'd see the red pantsuit or red lipstick.
You're gonna know Linda when she walks in.
And it's just her personality.
She was just as bright as-- as the colors
of the clothes that she wore.
- Linda never met a stranger.
If she didn't know you and she was out somewhere,
she'd come up and say, hi, I'm Linda Collins.
I'm your state senator.
- This is Senator Linda Collins-Smith.
God bless you all. Thank you.

♪
- Due to activity from Linda's phone
and witnesses that said, hey,
this is the last time I talked to Linda,
we felt that Linda was murdered on May 28th.
Her body was found on June the 4th.
- Her body was in advanced stages of decomposition.
Linda had multiple stab wounds.
- When you have a crime like this that a person
is stabbed multiple times, that typically tells us that
it's someone she knows very well.
There's a lot of passion involved in that crime.
♪ ♪
- We found an area in the kitchen
that had a lot of blood in the floor.
We felt like that's where Linda was attacked at.
Her body was found probably close to 50 feet
from that location where she was drug out the back door,
along a sidewalk,
wrapped up in the tarp there by the garage.
- It was obvious to us that someone had intentionally
tried to clean up the scene.
- Linda had surveillance cameras set up
on the exterior of the house
and also on the interior of the house.
- It would be hard for anybody to get on the property
without being captured by video camera.
But the brackets that hold the security cameras
were there with no cameras on them.
But we do find empty boxes that the security cameras come in,
so we immediately know what brand
and what company the security cameras were.
[police radio chatter]
- We made contact with the security company.
They told us that her account was accessed on May 29th
in the middle of the night.
We thought that was very odd.
We felt like whoever murdered Linda accessed her account
and probably deleted the videos that
they felt like were incriminating.
- We knew that the cameras were cloud-based,
and we knew that even though they might be destroyed,
there's probably in the cloud somewhere
those videos that would have shown
who murdered Linda Collins-Smith.
We began doing a subpoena and search warrant to get them.
But we had no idea if the video exist
or how long it was gonna take to get it.
[police radio chatter]
[suspenseful music]
- My thoughts immediately go to,
where are the people that are closest to them?
- Everybody's on their way.
We're gonna look into this a little bit more.
- Initially when you arrive on any scene,
especially a homicide scene like that,
everyone's a suspect until they're ruled out.
- We'll wait until my sheriff gets here.
But yeah...
- Linda's father, Benny Collins,
was obviously very emotionally upset.
- The bottom lock was locked, but...
- We started having a conversation
with Linda's son, Butch.
- You think we can get into that one?
- As they interviewed Butch,
does this guy have a motive to kill his mother?
- Due to the fact that we're gonna have to look into this,
I'm gonna have to have y'all back
all the way up to the road.
- We gave them our cell phones.
We gave them access to anything and everything
that they asked for.
- All right. Appreciate it.
- But he never said or did anything
to give us any indication that he was involved in any way
in his mom's murder.
When agents interviewed Linda's daughter,
she made a very strong statement.
- There were those conversations,
do you know anybody who has some kind
of vendetta against her?
The first thing that I said was my dad.
- In both fiction and in real life,
there's one suspect detectives circle back to first:
the person closest to the victim.
For Linda Collins-Smith, that meant her ex, Phil.
Shockingly enough, that was the first name
both of Linda's children gave up
when detectives asked who would have wanted her dead.

It's a typical Small Town, USA.

- Growing up, Linda lived in a old wooden house.
It did not have indoor plumbing.
They did not have a telephone.
She got married right out of high school.
The children were just tiny when she got divorced.
- She had two kids.
She had me and my sister, Heather Tate.
There was no money.
There was no political family members.
It was all her.

I think I was 11.

I wanna be the change.

That's when my parents go through a divorce.

They both filed mutual restraining orders
against each other.
Linda had accused Phil Smith of being abusive to her.
- In her words, she was terrified of her husband.
She was worried about her physical safety.
She was worried about the security of her home.
- The public loves it when there's some sort of scandal
with public officials.
Here you have a circuit court judge
and a well-known state senator in the middle of a divorce.
It was very hotly contested.
- They sold the big motel for $1/2 million.
One of the homes was worth 250,000.
One of them was worth 100,000,
one of them was somewhere in the 200,000 range
plus the other real estate holdings,
so upwards of $1 million.
- A bitter split leaves behind more than just bad memories.
It leaves a trail of money and resentment,
the kind of baggage that quickly doubles as a motive.
And resentments that deep, they never stay buried.

Phil is officially removed from the bench.

He said, no, absolutely not.
And I said, you know, if I find out that you did,

because I'll get to you before they will.
- I talked to Phil on the phone the night
that we had found Linda's body.
- The next day, as soon as it had gotten daylight,
we sent investigators to sit down with Phil Smith.
He was an open book.
He told us anything that we wanted to know.
- Nothing he said or did during the interview
raised any red flags.
But we maintained him as at that point
as still very much one of our suspects.
And we still had more interviews
with friends and family to do.
- Tim Loggains' fiancée was Becky O'Donnell.
And they were two of the people we talked to.
And they told us,
hey, we're really good friends with Linda.
- Tim and Becky came into Mom's life whenever
she was in need of some really close friends
because the--the divorce was going on,
and I know both of them had helped her with her campaign.
- Linda was my senator.
She knew my passion about gun rights
and constitutional rights and hers as well,
and that led into a working relationship.
- Collins-Smith!
- The investigator came out and said,
Tim, would you run down to the sheriff's department?
The state police will be there and talk to you
as soon as you get there.
And that's what I did.
- We're at Randolph County Sheriff's Office,

Becky was also interviewed by the state police.

and I don't wanna upset you anymore.
So if you need to relax a little bit,
just say it, okay?

- Becky, she was Linda's personal assistant.
She's pretty close to her.

had a firm grasp on who was actually guilty,
that they were all over the board on it.
- It was pretty obvious to us that whoever
was responsible for her murder was someone that she knew
and someone that was close to her.

I knew Linda's father, Benny.
- Linda's dad told us in an interview that
after the divorce,
he continued to talk to Phil Smith,
her ex-husband, and Linda did not like that.
- This is very suspicious.

It's about excavating the past.

He still maintained a relationship with him,

Phil Smith couldn't be within 500 feet of Linda.
- But he would still go to the motel
and pick her dad up while she was there
to go eat breakfast with him or something,
which terrified Linda that he was showing up,
violating the restraining order.
- During the interview with Linda's dad, Benny,
he says there was some money,
some checks that's-- about $12,000 worth of checks
that was suspicious.
- Linda had access to Benny's account.
It was associated with the motel.

He tells us that the signatures
don't look like Linda's.

He just knew that there was
unauthorized transactions taking place.
Linda was out of state.
Linda's daughter reached out to her and said Benny's upset.
There's three separate transactions
that total about $12,000 that was taken from their account.
And Linda said, when I get back in town,
I'm gonna look into it.
- We needed to find out who would have that type of access
to Linda and her father's bank account.
- There's gotta be more to this,
and I kept going back to the money.
Find the money, you find the killer.
- Money does more than provide a motive.
It exposes the crack in a person's character.
It turns the person we trust into the person we should fear.
That's why we have to ask who was moving Linda's money,
and at what point did that money
become a motive for murder?
- Many interviews were conducted
while we're waiting to see what we can get back
from the camera, from the security system.
- What do you suspect?
- Her ex-husband killed her.
- Our investigation determined that Linda
was fearful of Phil Smith.
Linda confided in Tim Loggains to help her
install security cameras on her property to provide her
another layer of protection.
- I installed the cameras.
Linda believed it would protect her
during the divorce.
- Tim Loggains had put the cameras up,
and he stated that he'd taken them down.
We bought the Arlo system
and we installed seven or eight cameras
around her house.
- We don't know where those cameras are,
and Tim Loggains actually showed up on the scene
the night that Butch and Benny had found Linda.
Tim Loggains had actually had a power of attorney of Linda.
So he was authorized to sign Linda's name
on any kind of documents,
including bank documents and checks.
That's obviously a huge concern for us.

surrounding this case, and we're working very hard

- Linda was more than a mother, a sister, a friend.
She was a political force, a woman defined
by the causes she championed.
But power is a double-edged sword.
The more you fight, the more people you alienate,
which leads us to an obvious question.
Was this murder political?
- I want the government out of my business
to allow me to raise my grandchildren.
I praise my children, our grandchildren,
to run our businesses without government interference.
Why don't y'all want the right to say no?
[cheers and applause]
- Linda's political background was obviously something
that we were looking at if there was any connection
between a law or something that she may have been involved in.
- She was addressing child sex trafficking,
gun-related legislation, and she was outspoken.
And in small towns, especially as a woman,
you need some attention
if you're gonna get something done.

we received a call that a senator
in the state of Oklahoma
had been found dead at his residence.
- Jonathan Nichols, the former senator,
was found dead Wednesday night in his Norman home.
Police say he died after an apparent gunshot.
- It can't be a coincidence
that this would happen to two Republican legislators
in contiguous states right in the same timeline.
- Police say right now, there is no one in custody.
- The theory pops up, some sort of political
GOP-targeted assassination streak that has happened
to two senators at the same time.
- In my novels I've written about many political leaders,
people whose careers are spent shaping the lives of others.
As a state senator, Linda Collins-Smith
held that same power,
and that's the danger of public office.
It invites a specific kind of enemy,
one driven not by greed, but by ideology.

It's something that has to be taken very seriously.
- Jonathan Nichols, the former senator,

Right now, there is no one in custody.
- The timing was very unusual,
so it was obviously something we wanted to follow up on.
- Linda was working on some of the issues in Arkansas
that he was working on in Oklahoma dealing with
child pornography, and there was a lot of speculation
those two things were tied together
and they were both killed to silence them.
- That is just another one of the strange things
that happened in this case that
made a lot of people turn towards,
well, maybe this isn't a domestic.
- I assigned an agent to contact the authorities
there in Oklahoma, whoever was handling
the investigation of that senator, his death,

It was determined that the two deaths
were completely unrelated.

It was ruled a suicide.

It's an outside camera shooting across the driveway
by the garage.
So we're watching it, we-- we can hear
someone starting to moan and scream.

It was a scream like-- like I'm dying screaming.

in the wind and to catch the actual homicide
taking place with inside the house.
And Linda's body was found underneath that tarp.
- Consider the odds.
A motion detector camera that gave us the key evidence
wasn't triggered by a human being,
but it was triggered by a flapping tarp,
a tarp that would be later used
to wrap up the victim's body.

from the same camera as the screaming by the garage.
In that video, someone after her murder
going in through the garage,
but they're holding up a sheet in between them and the camera.
They knew the camera was there,
so they're holding up a sheet
and they're just kind of tiptoeing to get through
that camera view without it seeing them.

When the camera rolls over, we see
Becky O'Donnell, Linda's close friend.
She's got a knife she's cleaning and wiping off.

We did not want Becky,
being responsible for the murder of Linda,

cry fake tears on the shoulders of Linda's two children.
We knew we had enough right there to arrest her.

around her house, covering all the roads

There was cops with AR15s and M16s pointed at me.
[police radio chatter]
They're getting Becky out of the vehicle.
- I'm gonna take one of those off.
When you get in, turn your legs out
so we can put it back on, okay.
Lift your leg up towards me.

we had nothing to indicate Tim was involved.
Every piece of evidence that we discovered
all went back to Becky O'Donnell.

you need to go ahead and search me,

At that point, Sheriff Bell looked at me
and said, take them cuffs off of Tim.
He ain't guilty.
But I'm arresting Becky for murder.
I said, you got the wrong person.
This ain't who you're supposed to be arresting.

comes up to you the night that you found your mom
and cries on your shoulder.
To find out that's the person
that supposedly has killed her,
it just is a hard feeling to describe.
None of it made sense in my mind as to why it happened.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Becky is brought to the sheriff's office.
We had a screenshot of Becky standing there
with the knife covered in blood
in the home of Ms. Collins, and presented it to her.
We got you.
- I just remember her being surprised, shocked.
You could kinda see the blood just kinda
leak out of her face.
- Becky O'Donnell managed the motel.
Becky often signed checks with Linda's signature
and paid bills.
Becky O'Donnell had access to Linda's account.
- When Linda's father, Benny, had confronted Linda
about the discrepancies that he had in his missing money,
I think that's when Linda had confronted Becky O'Donnell
about stealing money.
- Linda was honest, and she presumed everybody else was.
She needed a best friend.
Becky needed the money,
and Becky played her like a fiddle.
- Using a weapon from the home leads you to believe that
it wasn't planned, that Linda confronted Becky
about the missing money,
and Becky retrieved the knife
and used it on Linda.
- Becky probably saw her only way
to avoid being prosecuted for theft was to kill the witness,
and that was Linda.
- An Arkansas woman pleads guilty
to murdering a former state senator.
- The judge asked Becky there in open court
if she had a statement to make about--about the case.
- I think she was probably more upset
that she got caught than she was that
she killed her best friend.
- Today, our family has found swift justice
by way of a plea deal.
And we realized that no matter what punishment
Rebecca O'Donnell receives, it will never be enough.
- This crime was totally devastating for our community.
The wounds of that are still there,
and they will be seen there for years to come.
- In every lifetime, there are a very few seminal moments
that define the rest of your life.
Having my best friend murdered by my girlfriend
is one of those moments.
My thought was letting someone like that get close.
[somber music]
- To lose your mother, to lose your kids' grandma,
it was just--it was just heartbreaking.
To set your dad down and accuse him
of murder of your mom is--it's just awful.
I apologized.
My sister apologized.
Several years later, trying to get back
to some--some sort of normalcy.
[soft music]
- One has to wonder had Linda not been murdered,
where would she be today?
There was greater things coming.

- Linda Collins-Smith was a charismatic leader,
tough, fair, and beloved by her friends,
family, and supporters.
But within the vast web of personal
and political connections, the final twist
wasn't an ex-husband seeking revenge
or a stranger who disagreed with Linda's politics.
It was someone close enough to earn her trust
and willing to betray it.
In the end, the danger wasn't waiting outside Linda's door.
It was already inside.
I'm Harlan Coben.
Good night.
