Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

And I would also really love to ask Dave about all of this, but he didn't respond to any of our calls or our messages.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

Oh, yeah.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

Laura's dad, her stepmom, one of her co-workers, and Emily all told police that they thought Dave had something to do with Laura's death.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

In fact, according to the police file, the moment Emily heard that Laura died, she immediately texted a friend and said, quote, I'm so sick to my stomach.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

I know David had to do something with it, end quote.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

And that's exactly what did happen.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

And some people we spoke to have suggested that Dave benefited from Laura's life insurance policy, though we have not been able to corroborate that with any official records.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

But spoiler alert, Dave has never been publicly named as a suspect or person of interest in this case.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

but also no one has because this case has never been discussed publicly by the police department.

So in my eyes, Dave does seem suspicious, but it's hard to tell how much of that is coming from the evidence versus the people in the police file who were already convinced it was him.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

And I'll go on the record as saying he may not be the only person in Laura's life who deserves that level of attention.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

We know Laura had started to date other men when she separated from Dave, right?

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

Well, she was in communication with at least five of them in the weeks leading up to her death.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

And one of those five was the last known person to see Laura alive.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

So the day before Laura died, this would have been Sunday, December 8th, she invited a man that she had been seeing named Will over to her place.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

Will was a trainer at the gym that she went to.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

Now, his description of their relationship when he talks to police on December 10th is that they met because of the training, like he trained both her and Dave at one point.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

And then they started talking more, going to lunch together, and that they were, quote, basically friends.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

But Will does admit to being at Laura's on the 8th, quote, for maybe an hour.

Crime Junkie
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Laura Sweetman

For some reason, I cannot understand.
