This episode discusses the unsettling events leading up to Nick's death, including his feelings of being watched, financial issues with Dave, and Nick's concerns about illegal activities.

Alicia recounts that about six months before Nick was killed, he expressed to her that he felt someone was watching him. Initially, Alicia dismissed his concerns as absurd, but they became more serious as time went on.

In March 2020, Nick discovered that Dave had withdrawn $30,000 from their company account without prior notice. Dave claimed he had a debt to pay but promised to replace the money before payroll.

Nick's anxiety increased as he considered leaving the business partnership with Dave, suspecting illegal activities. In April, Dave withdrew another $15,000, intensifying Nick's stress.

By May, Nick again told Alicia about his persistent feeling of being watched, indicating his growing fear and uncertainty about the situation with Dave.

TLDR

Nick's growing fears and financial troubles with Dave precede his tragic death.

About six months before Nick would be killed, things started unraveling. Out of nowhere, Nick came home one night and
00:00:08
told Alicia, "I know it sounds crazy, but I'm telling you, I feel like someone's been watching me." Which at
00:00:15
the time Alicia said that she just kind of brushed off because like it it just sounded so absurd. And she just tried to
00:00:21
comfort Nick, reassure him that like everything was fine. But then Alicia tells police that 3 months after that,
00:00:27
in March of 2020, Nick told her that Dave took $30,000 out of their company account, which he
00:00:34
had never done before. And when Nick asked him about it, Dave said that he had this debt that he had
00:00:40
to pay, but he would replace it before payroll was due. And that's when Nick told Alicia, like, "I think I need to
00:00:46
get out of this business with this guy. I don't know what I got myself into." And he told her that he thought Dave was
00:00:52
doing something possibly illegal with the other companies that he owned. And like, he's like, "I don't know what's
00:00:58
happening, but like I don't want any part of whatever it is." Now, Alicia said Nick's stress level went through
00:01:03
the roof at this point, but it only got worse come April. When Dave not only doesn't pay back [music] the money that
00:01:10
he already took, but he takes out another $15,000 from the company. Then in May, Nick told Alicia again, "I just
00:01:19
can't shake this feeling that somebody is watching me."
