Short Summary

  • Detail the execution-style murder of Nick Cordova, who was killed at his Arizona business while his wife witnessed part of the event remotely.
  • Identify major inconsistencies suggesting the crime was targeted, including the lack of theft and the discovery and subsequent loss of evidence like a potato used as a possible silencer.
  • Highlight the immediate and intense conflict between the victim's widow, Alicia, and co-owner Dave Sweetman over substantial business life insurance policies, which involved allegations of forgery.
  • This analysis compiles direct interviews with Nick’s family and commentary from legal experts to examine the suspicious timeline, Dave Sweetman’s troubling background, and the stalled five-year investigation by Gilbert PD.

Experts suggest unusual behavior by the surviving business partner, coupled with unclear evidence handling, keeps this case highly speculative, leaving the family in legal and emotional limbo.

As soon as you said his business partner was there and wasn't shot, I knew who was behind it!

Dave is a pile of garbage! Who treats someone like that?! Especially someone who just lost her husband the day before! You and your team have done an amazing job covering this!

That’s scary that this man could “allegedly” be killing people and is not being arrested. People just keep dying around him.
