The murder of Bob Eidman, a Missouri insurance agent, in 2007 initially pointed to his wife, Diane, due to a family history of violence. However, years later, DNA test results revealed an unexpected culprit, leading to a stunning revelation in this cold case.
Bob Eidman was shot and killed in broad daylight, shocking the local community.Bob Eidman, a Missouri insurance agent, is seen in this undated photo with his wife, Diane.When insurance salesman Bob Eidman was shot to death in his Missouri office, investigators say their suspicions about the killing initially centered around his wife, Diane, whose own mother was charged with murdering Diane's father decades earlier and was eventually found not guilty.
A new "20/20" episode, "File ‘M’ for Murder" airing Friday, Feb. 7, at 9 p.m. ET and streaming the next day on Hulu, examines the case. As police viewed that video, they noticed a car that slowly drove past the front doors. Four minutes later, the car was seen driving past again a little slower, almost as if the driver was searching for something.
At 26 years old, Diane's father, Jerome Boelling, a St. Louis police officer, was murdered in his home, where he lived with her mother, Lenore Boelling. “We did not know if Diane had forgotten to tell us about those policies,” St. Charles Homicide Detective Don Stepp said. “Did Diane know about those policies?”
Detective Kaiser said that Diane told her that she'd learned of her husband's relationship with the man after discovering an email between the two. She said Eidman denied having an affair. Three years after Eidman was murdered, the results of trace DNA taken from his pants back pocket came in, and there was a match.
