This is about five months after the domestic violence call.

That is when a judge finally gave Dave some kind of shared custody where he would get the boys every other week.

Even then, Dave and Laura didn't see each other except for once at their son's baseball game because, remember, they had Stacey to usher the boys back and forth.

So it was important to Laura that Dave not know where she lived.

But friends and family wonder if he found out because they told police that in the months leading up to her death, Laura was worried that someone had been following her.

And they believed that it was either Dave or someone that he hired.

So maybe he could figure out where it was she was living.

To be clear, no one ever reported seeing Dave at Laura's rental house, and Dave insisted to detectives that he had no idea where she lived.

But there is one detail in the police report that sticks out to me.

On November 14th, this is less than a month before Laura would be found dead in her home, one of her neighbors called police to report a suspicious car parked across the street from Laura's house.

It was a white Isuzu Rodeo with an Arizona license plate.

He said there was a white man in the driver's seat doing something on his phone.

And when he walked up to ask him what he was doing in the neighborhood, the man said that it was none of his business and basically cursed him out.

Now, our reporter, Nicole Kagan, was able to get in touch with this neighbor, a man named Harry.

And he said that this car drove by his house at least three times that day.

And he called police because he thought the man driving might have been following him.

Now, he couldn't say exactly how long the car was in the neighborhood, but at least a couple of hours.

And it seemed like the driver was looking for somebody.

But then at night, Harry noticed that the car parked in Laura's driveway.

Harry said that was the only time that he knew of this car being in the neighborhood.
