When the police arrived to the crime scene, their first interaction with the living witness
00:00:05
was odd. Officers responded to Nick Cordova's office after a 911 call from his wife,
00:00:10
and she knew something had happened to her husband because he was on FaceTime with their kids when they heard this
00:00:16
loud noise and then he stopped responding. But police could see that there was still movement inside the building, and
00:00:23
when they got there, a man was like peeking through the blinds. And when he saw police, he announced himself, said
00:00:29
he was Dave, Nick's business partner. And the officers told him to come out, but instead, Dave like cracked the door
00:00:36
open and then handed them a bloody gun saying, "I'm his partner. That's my gun. I'm sorry." When officers tried to get
00:00:43
inside, they couldn't. Nick had been shot in the head and his body was blocking the door. But when they finally
00:00:49
got in, the scene was chaotic. Nick's desk had been shoved out of place. There was money on the floor, a tooth, clear
00:00:55
signs of a struggle. Meanwhile, Dave is outside and one officer describes him as
00:00:59
acting hysterical. He's like crying and pacing back and forth. He says he was there when two masked men came in,
00:01:06
robbed the place, and they hit Dave in the head and took his money. He told police he gave them, quote, "Everything
00:01:12
he had." But almost immediately, something doesn't add up because when officers search Dave, he still has over
00:01:17
a thousand dollars in his pocket. So was he just frazzled after this like incident was mistaken, or was his lie
00:01:24
deliberate? And if that's the case, what else should we be questioning?
