They told him that they had information that Tom believed Dawn wanted to kill him.

And he told investigators that he was surprised Tom hadn't shared that information with him because they talked about everything and Tom never said a word.

And then he admitted to something very honest that I think took Polisa back.

There's actually a transcript of this conversation that we're going to have two actors read.

Dave said this conversation happened six to eight months earlier, and he blew it off as a joke.

Apparently satisfied with the response, the investigator asked Dave if there were any other men in Dawn's life.

Dave said no.

He insisted that Don loved Tom and offered no alternative names.

So investigators shifted their attention to Dave's firearms.

He admitted to having three weapons, his late brother's .22 Ruger 10-22 rifle, a single-shot .22 rifle, and a six-shot .22 revolver loaned to him by his friend Chris Piper.

All three could possibly fit their murder weapon.

Now, what stood out in Dave's interview is what didn't happen.

Even after telling Dave in the interview that he was their only suspect, investigators didn't press him about his relationships with Tom and Dawn.

And there were no challenges to his casual dismissal of the months-long joke about Dawn wanting him.

Investigators did interview his wife Amy, though.

Maybe they were saving the tougher questions for her.

And her interview was as surprisingly honest as Dave's.

According to the transcript, she told them Dave and Dawn got along real good and that Dawn would jump Dave in a minute if she wasn't with him.

Amy recalled conversations with Dawn about the possibility of Dave and Dawn dating.

having each other if something were to happen to her or Tom.
