This episode covers the story of Alicia Cordova, her husband Nick's murder, and the ensuing insurance claim dispute involving Nick's business partner Dave.

Alicia Cordova faced immense grief after the murder of her husband, Nick. As she dealt with funeral plans and caring for her children, Nick's business partner, Dave, pressured her to sign insurance paperwork.

Despite her reluctance, Alicia sought legal advice when she suspected that Nick's death might be linked to the insurance money. Her lawyers discovered that Nick had signed an agreement stating that in the event of his death, the business would be split 50/50.

Months later, when Alicia filed the claim, she was informed that her signature had already been submitted. Confident she had not signed anything, Alicia suspected forgery and pointed to Dave as a potential culprit.

TLDR

Alicia Cordova suspects her husband's partner forged her signature on an insurance claim after his murder.

00:00:00
Someone signed her name after her husband was murdered. After Nick Cordova died, his wife Alicia was dealing with
00:00:06
grief along with everything else. Her kids, the funeral plans, but that didn't stop Nick's business partner Dave from
00:00:13
wanting to move forward with insurance paperwork. Dave kept pushing Alicia to sign documents, but she wasn't ready. In
00:00:20
fact, she was actually worried that Nick could have been killed for this insurance money. So, eventually Alicia
00:00:27
gets a lawyer and decides to push back. The lawyers find that Nick signed when he bought into the business, which
00:00:33
stated that in the event of a death, everything would be split 50/50. So, like 6 months after Nick is killed,
00:00:39
Alicia is advised to sign the paperwork and file the claim so she can support her young kids. Except after she files,
00:00:47
the insurance company tells her there's a problem. They already received her signed documents.
00:00:53
She says, "That has to be wrong." She swears she never signed anything. So, she thinks someone would have had to
00:01:00
forge her signature. And when they asked, "Do you know anyone who would do that?" Alicia only had one answer.
00:01:08
Dave.
