00:00:00
By April of 2013, there would be no more keeping their relationship issues a secret. Because according to the police
00:00:07
file, that is when Laura found out about Dave's big secret. [music] I don't know what drove her into doing a
00:00:15
Facebook deep dive. Surely she was having some suspicions of something, but one click after another after another
00:00:22
led her to something that upended her life for good. >> [music] >> Emily was actually one of the many
00:00:29
people Laura opened up to about this. And according to her, what Laura discovered is that Dave had, quote, a
00:00:36
whole other life. [music] He had been having an affair with a woman who he had a child with that she
00:00:44
never knew about. And I'm not talking about like a newborn baby, like, oh, he couldn't figure out how to tell her
00:00:49
about this in the last like 9 months. This kid was preschool age, a preschool-aged son.
00:00:55
>> And did this woman know that Dave was married? I don't know if the woman he was having an affair with knew. I tried
00:01:01
to know. We actually found the woman, and her and Dave are no longer together. So I was really hopeful she was going to
00:01:06
talk to us. But if you remember from last episode, when I mentioned that there was a woman who Dave is in a child
00:01:14
custody battle with to this day in 2026, >> Yeah. that is this woman. Woah. So she
00:01:20
declined to speak with our reporter for either episode because of her ongoing legal situation with Dave.
00:01:26
>> Right. But to go back to April 2013, it is clear from the police file that is
00:01:32
when Laura found out about this other family, and she was like, done done. [music] And telling everyone as much. To
00:01:39
Stacy, she said she, quote, did not want to stay with someone who would cheat and
00:01:44
lie, >> [music] >> end quote.
