Happy Friday, crime junkies. I feel like someone down at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office might have listened to our most recent episode.

Or maybe the timing is just a crazy coincidence. But a couple of hours ago, this Friday, the sheriff's office finally fulfilled our records

request and got us the audio from Dave and Laura Sweetman's domestic violence incident.

And I want to do something a little out of the ordinary.

While this episode is still top of mind for everyone,

I want to share it with you. There are three things that you're going to be hearing,

and I'm going to pop in between each. First, I'm going to play for you sound from the body cam

footage of a deputy responding to Laura's call that she made to the sheriff's office.

Then I'm going to play you the entire audio file that she turned over to them of the incident

that she was reporting.

This is the almost hour and a half long recording she has of her and Dave inside their house

when she says he refused to let her leave. And then I'm going to

play you some audio from when the deputy arrested and questioned Dave. This audio answers so many

questions and brings up a million more. And I think for those of you who have been in a volatile or abusive relationship, this audio is going to hit home in a hard way.

But it is important to hear because these are some of Laura's last recorded words before she died later the same year that this was reported.

So first, here is the deputy's interaction with Laura. It has been edited for clarity. Hello. Who's Laura? I'm just going to tell her where my kids are. So somebody knows.

Okay.

Do you? Do you? Do they okay. Not injured or anything?

No.

Okay.

Do you want me to start on scratch?

So, um, recently I discovered that my husband has another family.
