They were afraid of Dave because the prevailing theory among those who knew Laura seemed to be that somehow, some
00:00:07
way, Dave was involved in her death. They didn't have proof, of course, or they would have gone to police with
00:00:14
that. But what they had were decades of stories about a man who scared them >> [music]
00:00:21
>> and who was scaring Laura right before her death. So, to understand that fear, and before
00:00:28
I ever get into how Laura died, I need to take you all the way back to the 1980s when Dave and Laura first started
00:00:35
dating as teenagers at Fallbrook Union High School in California. As a junior in high school, Laura was a
00:00:43
Future Homemakers of America and part of the swim team and the yearbook club, and
00:00:48
Dave was a varsity football player in the grade above her. This is like a real all-American California dream kind of
00:00:54
couple. Now, after graduating, Laura went on to get her master's in biochemistry.
00:00:59
[music] She went to med school, completed her residency in pediatric neurology, and then worked at Phoenix
00:01:05
Children's Hospital. And Dave became a small business owner. Now, they got married and around 2004, they had the
00:01:12
first of their three sons. So, from the outside, everything seemed picture-perfect.
00:01:18
But people who knew Laura knew that that was not the case.
