Now, deputies wrote that they didn't see any marks or injuries on Laura.

And Dave later told police, quote, I'm fortunate that I didn't do anything.

Which is like... He's fortunate?

It's a really weird thing to say.

Yeah.

But I'm not sure if Laura like had a full body examination or if the deputy just sort of like gave her like an up and down with his eyes at the theater because it doesn't state anywhere that she was like taken to the station or taken to a hospital.

And one of Laura's friends told deputies that they saw pink marks on Laura's neck that had just gone away by the time that police were actually talking to her.

But we have no way to actually confirm that now.

The incident report literally says, quote, no photos were taken because none to take.

From what we could find, he was arrested for assault in 2008, but the charges were dismissed.

So I don't have any details on what that was or who it even involved.

Oh, okay.

However, in the police file, there is a friend who says that Laura admitted to her that Dave was abusive.

Quote, mostly verbal and mental abuse and some physical abuse, but not as much as the mental.

End quote.

And then another friend told police that people around Laura were afraid that Dave would harm her.

Both, but at least from what I can read, no one ever witnessed any physical violence.

Injuries or not, though, Dave did get arrested for the assault and unlawful imprisonment, and he allegedly spent a night in jail.

But according to the police file, when the charges got forwarded to the Highland Justice Court, they were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Not enough for charges.
