almost got away with it. And if not for the sleuthing skills of the private investigator who tracked her down, she might have gotten away with something much worse, too."The Case of the Poison Cheesecake"In August 2016, Olga Tsvyk, a beauty stylist in Queens, New York, became gravely ill and lost consciousness after her client, Viktoria Nasyrova, came to her home and gave her a piece of poisoned cheesecake.At the hospital, Tsvyk says she nearly died.
Herman Weisberg found an important clue in this photo of Viktoria Nasyrova. Other photos posted to her Facebook page would reveal more clues.In one of the photos, Nasyrova was sitting in a car and there was distinctive white stitching on the headrest behind her.The car had a distinctive dashboard. "… I must have been peering into cars for a good hour until I had what I was pretty positive was it," Weisberg said.
He sent out a team to look for Chrysler 300s with the same interior in that neighborhood. He says they found dozens, noting the license plate information.He came up with an address linked to the car. When he checked out the apartment building, he realized it looked familiar. He went back to Facebook and noticed the same building reflected in Nasyrova's sunglasses. He sent a surveillance team to stake it out.
Weisberg noticed that the beige suede shoes Nasyrova wore in surveillance footage matched a pair that he had seen in her Facebook photos. When they searched her apartment, they found an ID card belonging to Olga Tsvyk. Investigators were convinced Nasyrova had intended to kill Tsvyk in order to assume her identity.
