One of the men that Laura was seeing around the time of her death told police he knew Dave had quote her over
00:00:06
on a bunch of money, end quote. But he didn't elaborate. According to what Emily told police, Dave would say things
00:00:13
to Laura about how he was going to end up with the money in the divorce. >> is there even money to end up with?
00:00:20
Dude, I don't know. Maybe in 2013, right? I know by 2020, when his business partner Nick Cordova was murdered, he
00:00:27
was allegedly taking money from the business. And we know there were like previous times that he and his
00:00:32
businesses were sued for unlisted reasons and he was ordered to pay thousands of dollars. Plus, if you look
00:00:39
at the businesses that David had at the time, Gilbert Air and Monster Impound and Recovery,
00:00:44
online, there's still like a number of negative reviews alleging price gouging and illegal towing scams.
00:00:50
>> And did he own those at the time of the divorce? The towing company, yes. But it
00:00:54
looks like actually Gilbert Air was founded a couple of years later. So, listen, what I'm saying is I don't know
00:00:59
what Dave's full financial deal was in 2013, but you definitely can see some like red flags at least later.
00:01:07
>> And how did these threats about money even make it to Laura if there's a protective order in place and he doesn't
00:01:12
even know where she lives? Like I assume they they weren't even speaking.
