She Said She Was Being Watched... #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

Months before she died, Laura Sweetman said that she was being watched. After leaving her husband and moving out on
her own, Laura Sweetman told friends something unsettling. She said she thought that someone was following her.
And friends believe that it might be her husband, Dave, or somebody that he had hired trying to find out where she
lived. But the truth is, there's more than one possibility once we started digging into Laura's life. And the key
to who it was might be sitting with police. You see, a neighbor of Laura's had noticed a suspicious car parked
outside Laura's house one day. White SUV, driver inside, just kind of watching. And later that same night,
that car was parked in her driveway. The neighbor even took down the license plate number and called the police. We
know that police have this plate number. What I don't know is if they ever did anything with it. There is no further
mention of the tip in Laura's file. So, do you think they checked it and found out it wasn't relevant? Or do you think
this tip got brushed over and missed?

Months before her death, Laura Sweetman told friends she believed someone was following her after she moved out on her own.

A neighbor later reported a suspicious white SUV parked outside Laura’s home with a driver inside watching. That same vehicle was later seen in her driveway. The neighbor documented the license plate and reported it to police.

Police had the information, but there is no clear record of what was done with the tip.
