Trouble In Paradise For Lover's Husband

The island of Jamaica is paradise for many, with its sparkling waters, white-sand beaches and its reputation for romance. While visiting her native island in the summer of 1992, police say Denise Davidson -- a former swimsuit model -- had a fling with Leo Cisneros, a playboy nightclub owner.

Back in Florida, Davidson's marriage to her husband Louis, a successful pediatrician, wasn't going nearly so well. When the couple split up for good, Davidson found herself back in the arms of Cisneros. But meeting in the United States was tricky because Cisneros was wanted in the U.S. on drug charges. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands, and that meant killing Dr. Louis Davidson.

She found him bound, gagged and beaten to death.
Dr. Davidson Becomes The Hunted

Police say the first step for Cisneros was calling in two hit men -- Meryl "Tony" McDonald and Robert Gordon. On the morning of January 25, 1994, Dr. Davidson finished his shift at Bayfront Medical Center and returned to the apartment complex near St. Petersburg where he lived.

After changing his clothes, Dr. Davidson heard a knock on the door. Police are uncertain why he opened the door, but they are sure who was laying in wait: the two hitmen.

Police say Denise Davidson and Cisneros met up with the hitmen at a Tampa motel once the job was done.

Later that afternoon, a friend of Dr. Davidson's went to check on him, since he hadn't been answering the phone. She found him bound, gagged and beaten to death.

When St. Petersburg police began their forensic investigation, they realized one of the best clues was a shoe print.

Cops Find A Trail -- And It Led To Leo Cisneros

St. Petersburg police immediately questioned Denise Davidson. She remained calm, while cops had no idea a nervous Cisneros was hiding in the closet.

Cops kept Davidson in their sights around the clock. They even saw her on surveillance camera at a mail service location where they say she used Western Union terminal to wire $15,000 to one of the hitmen in Miami, and that left a paper trail.

When detectives tracked down the motel where they believed everyone met after the murder, they found a crucial piece of evidence: one of the hitmen had left his shoes. The blood on it matched Dr. Davidson's, and the sole matched a print left in the doctor's apartment.

That was the hard evidence police needed to arrest the two hit men, as well as Davidson herself as she was about to board a flight for Jamaica.

All three were convicted of first degree murder but Leo Cisneros, the man accused of masterminding the murder plot, is still out there.
