"I Feel Like Someone's Been Watching Me" #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts #podcast | Forensic Files

Before he was killed, Nick Cordova said something chilling. Six months before his murder, Nick told his wife Alicia,
"I feel like someone's been watching me." Now, at the time, she kind of brushed it
off because like, I mean, how absurd does that sound? And she just tried to comfort Nick and reassure him that
everything was fine. But things were changing. Like behind the scenes, his relationship with his
business partner Dave was unraveling, essentially. And Nick discovered that Dave had taken $30,000 from the company,
then another 15,000. And Nick eventually starts thinking that something is up, and he needs to get out of this business
arrangement. And shortly before his death, he made this like half-hearted joke to his wife that Dave was going to
hire a hitman to take him out so he could have the life insurance money. There's nothing funny about his
statement now because two masked men walked into his office one day not long after this and executed him. And guess
who got the initial insurance payouts from the business.

Six months before he was killed, Nick Cordova told his wife:

“I feel like someone’s been watching me.”

Nick had discovered that his partner, Dave, had taken tens of thousands of dollars from their company. And as things escalated, Nick started thinking he needed out.

Not long before his death, he made a comment that doesn’t feel like a joke anymore—saying Dave would “hire a hitman” to kill him for the life insurance money.

Then, two masked men walked into his office and shot him.
