But one click after another after another led her to something that upended her life for good.

Emily was actually one of the many people Laura opened up to about this.

And according to her, what Laura discovered is that Dave had, quote, a whole other life.

He had been having an affair with a woman who he had a child with that she never knew about.

And I'm not talking about like a newborn baby, like, oh, he couldn't figure out how to tell her about this in the last like nine months.

This kid was preschool age, a preschool aged son.

I don't know if the woman he was having an affair with knew.

I tried to know.

We actually found the woman and her and Dave are no longer together.

So I was really hopeful she was going to talk to us.

But if you remember from last episode when I mentioned that there was a woman who Dave is in a child custody battle with to this day in 2026.

Yeah.

That is this woman.

Whoa.

So she declined to speak with our reporter for either episode because of her ongoing legal situation with Dave.

Right.

But to go back to April 2013, it is clear from the police file that is when Laura found out about this other family and she was like, done, done, and telling everyone as much.

To Stacey, she said she, quote, did not want to stay with someone who would cheat and lie, end quote.

And according to Emily, finding out about this affair finally gave Laura the push she needed to leave Dave and file for divorce.

And she told Emily that she had it all planned out.
