This episode covers the police interview of Dave regarding the death of Laura, the investigation details, and Dave's emotional response. Key topics include Laura's medical history, the order of protection, and Dave's past affairs.

The episode begins with a detective contacting Dave on the day Laura was found, asking if he can pick up their children from school without revealing Laura's death. This raises questions about the police's communication.

When the detective arrives at Dave's house, he observes that Dave is already crying, which is noted as unusual since he has not been informed of Laura's death. The detective questions Dave about his emotional state and his last interactions with Laura.

During the conversation, they discuss Laura's medical history and the domestic violence call, but the detective does not ask Dave any direct accusatory questions regarding his whereabouts the night before Laura's death.

Despite the serious nature of the conversation, it is revealed that Dave's three sons were with him all weekend, complicating the investigation.

TLDR

Dave's emotional police interview reveals inconsistencies about Laura's death.

Episode

2:01
00:00:00
And I want to start with Dave's first interview with police. Because it's really strange. When a
00:00:07
detective calls Dave the day that Laura was found, he tells Dave that Laura is part of an investigation and asks if
00:00:15
Dave is able to pick their kids up from school. A part of an investigation? Like
00:00:20
they don't tell him that Laura is dead? >> [music] >> Dave asks what's wrong, but they say
00:00:25
that they can't explain it over the phone. So, they agree to meet Dave at his house. Here's where it gets
00:00:30
interesting. So, according to the police file, when Dave greets the detective outside of his house, he's already
00:00:38
crying. Even though they haven't told him what happened. Exactly. Did Stacy tell him?
00:00:45
No, the detective immediately clocks this as odd. So, he specifically asks if Dave spoke to anyone,
00:00:53
and he says, "No." So, why is he crying? File doesn't say. But when the detective finally does tell
00:01:02
Dave that Laura died, he just like doubles over and starts sobbing uncontrollably, which the
00:01:09
detective says [music] continues for the duration of their conversation. And they speak about Laura's medical
00:01:16
history, the order of protection, the divorce, [music] the domestic violence call, and even his affair.
00:01:22
But Dave maintains that he had no idea where Laura lived or what her life was like after they separated. From what I
00:01:31
can see, the last time he tells them that he saw Laura was at their son's baseball game back in October.
00:01:37
And for all the things they do talk about, nowhere in the summary do I see the detective asking Dave any accusatory
00:01:45
questions or even anything about where he was the night before. So, we don't know if he had an alibi or not. Not
00:01:52
explicitly, no. But what makes the Dave scenario tricky is that his three sons were with him all weekend.
