After years of hard work, Brian 31 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.280 and Jeanie League had earned a well deserved life of 32 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.560 leisure in their picture perfect Phoenix mansion until their troubled 33 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.840 son showed up with a need for cash and a 34 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.439 thirst for murder. David Legg was an obsessive control freak 35 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.879 and an army deserter. After fathering an illegitimate child, he 36 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.360 wooed and wed a trusting young woman, only to destroy 37 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.599 his marriage with lies and infidelities. But his susceptions were 38 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.840 far from over. In June of nineteen ninety six, Genie 39 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.599 and Brian were found shot to death, their bodies sitting 40 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.560 next to each other on their living room love seat. 41 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.520 Jeanie's expensive ring and the couple's credit cards were missing. Meanwhile, David, 42 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.639 the prime suspect, was living it up in Hawaii with 43 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.039 his fifteen year old girlfriend draining his dead parents savings 44 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.039 through ATMs. After a long and costly chase, this remorseless 45 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.039 killer faced a jury of his peers in two thousand 46 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.840 and was locked behind bars for life.

Welcome 49 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.439 back to the program, Don Lassiter. 50 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.759 Hi Dan, great to be with you again. 51 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.520 Thank you very much for green to come back on 52 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.879 another great book. Congratulations. Let's start off with a little 53 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.000 bit of the details of Deadly Deceit. I guess maybe 54 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.560 we can introduce some of the characters. Let's introduce Brian 55 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.840 and Jeanie Legg. Let's go way back and talk about 56 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.159 the lives of Brian Legg to start. 57 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.719 Okay, Brian LaGG was an Air Force captain served in 58 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:39.280 Vietnam and honorably retired and from the Air Force and 59 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:45.599 met a mother of three young well actually teenagers by 60 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.080 that time, and the fell in love and married her 61 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.960 within about a year or so. They have their own son, 62 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:53.319 David Legg. 63 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.560 Now they went on to have other children as well, 64 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.360 but was that they adopted some children? 65 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.560 Tell us a little. Jeannie had children from previous marriage, yes, yes, 66 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.479 and when David, when Brian married, they're only a child together, 67 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:13.479 was David. 68 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.399 Yes, Okay, thank you for that. Okay, Now, so tell 69 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.199 us what life was like growing up with Brian Lake, 70 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.639 What was really what Brian Legg, David's father really like, 71 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.600 and what was the mother like? Characterized their life in 72 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.079 some of the characteristics of these people, and tell us 73 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.120 a little bit about their life. 74 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.959 Well, it's interesting that on one hand we get there. 75 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.839 In the book. I profile what David Legg said about 76 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.079 his own parents, particularly his father. He was quite critical, 77 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.959 saying that Brian had abused him and beaten him rather severely, 78 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.519 and that was way restrictive. Other sources tell me that 79 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.079 this was a very nice couple, that Brian Legg and 80 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.480 Jeanie were just terrific people. And when David subs equately 81 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:06.160 met and married a girl named Alicia La Flesh, Alicia 82 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.399 fell in love with Brian and Jeanie. She'd had she 83 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.079 had been abused in her own childhood and had suffered 84 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.279 terrible trauma with no love, and when she met Brian 85 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.759 and Jeannie, David's parents, she just she thought she was 86 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.800 in heaven with this wonderful couple. So we have two 87 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.319 very conflicting views of what Brian and Jeanie leg were. 88 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.519 Like, well, okay, you do have that, you mentioned that 89 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.680 that you go in the book and talk about that. 90 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.319 But you know that being given that Alicia comes from 91 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.800 a totally incredibly dysfunctional family, so she would be relieved 92 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.360 to find any kind of normalacy as compared to her 93 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:45.600 own family. That would be fair. 94 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.360 That's correct, Yes, that's fair. 95 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.160 Now tell us a little bit though about because I 96 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.959 found it very fascinating some of the things that some 97 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.879 of the characteristics of Brian and his son's relationships, some 98 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.800 of the things that he was strict about, and certainly 99 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.279 being in the military, it's not a big stretch for 100 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.720 somebody to be critical and beginning orders. So tell us 101 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.319 a little bit more about Brian Leg though, and then 102 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.639 especially the relationship, and then tell us about what characterized 103 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.240 some of their family life, including you know, the need 104 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.519 to move quite often in the career of Brian Lake. 105 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.160 Well, David and Brian did have some fractious relations between 106 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.839 them because David young, David was well, an odd child 107 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.839 in many ways, he was a clean freak. He'd wash 108 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.759 his hands frequently every day. His room was made up 109 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:43.399 perfectly unusual for young boys, and he he would he 110 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.199 would be a little defiant once in a while, and 111 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.079 as you say, Brian being a military man, exercise discipline 112 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.680 of the boy. At one point it was alleged that 113 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.480 he ran over David's bicycle deliberately as a punishment thing. 114 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.480 But again that that came from David later in later years. 115 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:08.160 So it's hard to know exactly just how problematical the 116 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.879 relationship was. But they they grew up and moved quite 117 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.720 frequently early on, a typical of military families. They moved 118 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.879 around a lot. And it's also been suggested that they 119 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.319 had some some financial management problems and that caused them 120 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.839 to move around. But finally they settled in h in 121 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.399 a beautiful home in uh in uh in northern California, 122 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.920 in an upscale district, and and they seemed to be 123 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.079 doing quite well there. 124 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.199 Now was there. What I found was interesting too, And 125 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.079 maybe you can clarify this how much came from from 126 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.759 the uh from David himself, and then that's questionable whether 127 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.639 that's true or not, or disingenuous or not. Tell us 128 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.040 what you did find for certain, about sort of the 129 00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.240 sexual attitude that David experienced through Brian. What was Bryan 130 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.040 Legg's idea of sort of making his son a man? 131 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.360 And what did you find out was the difference between 132 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.079 what David had said and maybe what you had found 133 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.680 independently of sort of that characteristic of the family dynamic. 134 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:25.920 Well, David was later found to be let's say, sexually involved, 135 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.199 way young and a sex addict, he would later be called. 136 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.080 He blamed it on his parents, saying that they were 137 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.240 into pornography and that they did some strange things like 138 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.879 swinging and swapping. But again, it's hard to know just 139 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.720 how credible that is. In some cases, Brian was a 140 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.879 very good father. He took him to concerts even and 141 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.679 there's a there's a concert with one rock group that 142 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.440 you can look up on YouTube. Put the David and 143 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.360 Briand's name in and you can see that they were 144 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:00.399 actually at a concert and you can see them in 145 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.200 about the fourth or fifth row of the concert. 146 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.039 Well, yeah, I found it very interesting that some of 147 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.000 the things it seemed to be sort of contradictory behavior. 148 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.039 It seemed, even if you don't take David's word for 149 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.360 a lot of things where you talk about where the 150 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.360 son was probably disciplined quite heavily for what some people 151 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.960 might think of minor infraction. Yet he racked up and 152 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.440 you know, this is a few years ago, two thousand 153 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.639 dollars on a sex chat line and his father really 154 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.879 didn't discipline him for that. So tell us a little 155 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.080 bit about that incident. And yeah, you were talking about 156 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.440 taking him to a concert to So it really was 157 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.879 a guy that seemed to be very cool in some respects, 158 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:44.519 but in others at least there was that strong discipline. 159 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.639 Right, it's right, rather interesting. Twice in his lifetime we 160 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:53.960 know that David ran up big bills for telephone sex 161 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.559 calls to the sex private lines, once when he was 162 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.159 a youngster still live at home, and once later when 163 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.679 he was married to Alicia from Hawaii. Alicia found that 164 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.000 she had about a two thousand dollars bill from David's 165 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:13.799 calls to sex telephone numbers. But also it was alleged 166 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.360 by David that his father beat him severely, would would 167 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.080 force him into the when he had some minor infraction. 168 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.879 He'd be forced into the bedroom, take his pants off 169 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.159 and lie on the bed and be lashed with a belt. 170 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.159 He told a psychologist at one point that he had 171 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:34.399 scars there permanently, but interestingly enough, I asked Alicia, who 172 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.240 within knew David intimately, did you ever see any scars 173 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.320 in his back? She said no, his back was smooth 174 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:40.000 as anything. 175 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.519 Right right now, what was what was David's and Brian's 176 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.399 wife and David's mother? What was she like? What did 177 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.080 she have any problems? What was she like as a disciplineer? 178 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.519 And what was she like as a mother? 179 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.960 Genie was just a typical loving mother who had already 180 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.159 raised three children and raised David with loving care, just 181 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:06.279 as any mother would. And I found nothing controversy about 182 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:07.200 Jeanie's behavior. 183 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.440 Now, you also the other three children when you looked 184 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.279 into this as well, when you investigated what the fate 185 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:19.039 of those children? Not that it's empirical evidence, but what 186 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.519 was the outcome of those children? Just to give some 187 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.919 kind of credibility to that these people were, like you say, 188 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.600 pretty normal parents, and as a result, the other three 189 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.720 children tell us about their fate. 190 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.080 All three of the other children also had careers in 191 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.519 the Air Force and rose to the level of officers 192 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:46.320 captains and did quite well. Now there's some suggestion that 193 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.120 there was some problem between Brian Legg and one of 194 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.440 his stepdaughters, but I chose not to go into that 195 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:58.039 because I had no factual background, no empirical data to 196 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:02.639 support any between him and his daughter in law. But 197 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.240 they all turned out to be quite great kids and adults, 198 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:15.159 and the son, David's half brother, became a CEO in 199 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.639 a electronics firm. 200 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.840 Right now, tell us about David at about twenty years old. 201 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.279 Tell us what his life was like, what was his 202 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.360 career ambition, where was he going in life, and how 203 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.639 was he doing mentally and how was he just doing 204 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.720 socially well? 205 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:41.279 David was had some problems and didn't He chose not 206 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.559 to go to college after high school. Matter of fact, 207 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.000 he dropped out of high school for a while and 208 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.559 was living with his parents and just working at labor 209 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.120 temporary employment jobs and just kind of getting along and 210 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:00.440 spending way too much money. He used he once his 211 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.480 parents' credit cards and to buy a very expensive set 212 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:12.000 of drums he wants it made a great number of 213 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.000 other purchases that ran his parents into deep into debt. Now, 214 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.639 there was one other rather important incident when he was 215 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:23.200 in high school, and I believe in Michigan. He impregnated 216 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.919 a classmate and produced a son, but for most of 217 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.639 the years after that he denied that that was his son. 218 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.720 But that came. That will come up later in the book. 219 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:34.440 I mean, we'll talk about that in a moment. 220 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:40.000 Sure. Now you also talked about you know, he just 221 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.639 racked up a lot of credit card debt, just to 222 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.039 be so the audience knows. He came by that honestly 223 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.840 because that was his parents. One of the sort of 224 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.679 weaknesses they had was racking up credit cards as well, 225 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:52.080 wasn't it. 226 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:53.000 That's correct? 227 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:53.159 Now. 228 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.440 The father, according to David, would go to the PX, 229 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.960 the post Exchange fair post Exchange, and by hundreds and 230 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.360 hundreds of dollars worth of groceries because he could get 231 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.200 it cheaper there. And David said, we I don't know 232 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.080 why we needed a hundred bottles of this, and then 233 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.000 twenty packages of that and freezers full of food. So 234 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.480 they lived the high life. They always lived very well, 235 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.519 had an expensive car and expensive homes, but seemed to 236 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.399 be on the verge of bankruptcy frequently. 237 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.039 Right now, tell us about David meeting his wife Alicia. 238 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.360 How old is David? And tell us how they met 239 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.600 and then we can go on to tell the story 240 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.240 of Alicia and her upbringing. 241 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.519 Okay, fine, Yeah, David was a little younger, about a 242 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.960 year or so younger than Alicia, and they were both 243 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.360 working in a temp agency in the San Francisco Bay 244 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:53.200 area and Matt and Alicia just fell head over heels 245 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.600 with him because she'd had a pretty rough life herself, 246 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.840 and David was extremely charming and he could be that 247 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.720 way with most he over the years, describing as a 248 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.639 glib and very very charming. And he worked that charm 249 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:08.639 on Alicia and took her to his parents' home and 250 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.159 introduced him, and she just fell in love. And they 251 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.480 accepted her and treated extremely well, and she just fell 252 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:19.039 in love with him. And so let me let me 253 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.559 just jump forward now that how I came upon this book. 254 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.799 Usually I'm reading newspaper articles to find the subjects for 255 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.200 my books. But I had an email from Alicia La Flesh, 256 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.080 and she said, I have a compelling story to tell 257 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.879 and then a horrific thing that happened to the parents, 258 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.120 the in laws that I love so dearly. Would you 259 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.240 be interested? And so I met with Alisha and at 260 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.639 a restaurant, and she told me the entire story, and 261 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:46.840 that's where we went from there. 262 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:50.919 Wow, I should have asked that question first. That's amazing. 263 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.320 That's well to talk about an unusual way to get 264 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.399 around as usually you get a call from an editor, 265 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.440 don't you do it? Not from the a main character 266 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:01.080 in the story. 267 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.720 Yes, sometimes it is from the editor and moral Okay. 268 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.200 Round two, name something that's not. 269 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:16.080 Boring laundry, computer solitaire huh. 270 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.279 Oh, sorry, we were looking for Chumbu casino. 271 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.000 Chum. 272 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.519 That's right, Chumba casino dot com as over one hundred 273 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.080 casino style games.

It's from my own research, you know, 277 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.000 watching the newspapers, reading magazines, watching television and thinking, okay, 278 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:46.000 that looks like a pretty pretty compelling story in today's world. 279 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.639 You better get onto it very early, though, because if 280 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.399 it's if it's a big, high profile story or a 281 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.279 story with some really interesting uh uh sidelines to it, 282 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.120 uh you you you check it out and you find 283 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.039 two or three other authors already on to so. But 284 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.480 this one was pretty pretty nice because it hadn't been 285 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:09.359 explored by anyone. And Alicia Alicia, but her name at 286 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.720 the time was Alicia la Flesh. And when I got 287 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.799 that email, I have to tell you, I was almost 288 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.480 deleted it instantly, but I'm glad I went on with 289 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.599 him because it turned up to be a very good story. 290 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.319 Yeah, it sounds like alias for a professional first, it 291 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:30.240 does absolutely now tell us about David's career as well 292 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:31.640 about in the military. 293 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:37.519 Well, David, after Alicia and David got married, or just 294 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.880 before they were married, I believe that David decided he 295 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.400 was going to have a military career like his dad did, 296 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.599 and he was. His dad wanted him to go in 297 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.599 the Air Force, of course, because that's where he had been. 298 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:47.240 Uh. 299 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.880 And and David told Alicia he went in and applied, 300 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.839 and he aced all the exams and then he was 301 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.960 going to become a pilot. And uh. But this is 302 00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.920 remarkable since he had men finished high school and the 303 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.240 Air Force is pretty selective about that and have some 304 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.920 pretty stringent exams to screen these people. So again, it 305 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.720 probably wasn't entirely true. And so he wound up enlisting 306 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:13.319 as a private in the United States Army. 307 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.759 Right now, this is I'm sorry for mix, you know, 308 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.759 just going off the chronological order here too. They had 309 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:25.200 been engaged. The family loved her, she loved them, so 310 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.839 they have they professed their love and then said they 311 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.720 made plans for engagement, and then he says, jeez, maybe 312 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.640 I should go into the military. Is that how that works? 313 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.680 So tell us how that works. 314 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.079 Well, he did join the military and as a private, 315 00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:43.640 and then they were married in the Legs home in 316 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.240 the Bay area of San Francisco. The marriage ceremony took 317 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.960 place there and it was a very festive thing. And 318 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.359 then their plan was for Alicia to stay in that 319 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.519 home with her in laws while David completed basic training 320 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.839 in Georgia and then wherever he would sign, as it 321 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.640 turned out to be in Hawaii, a wonderful assignment at 322 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.039 scolpvict in Hawaii, and then she would join him there. 323 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.359 And that's exactly what happened. 324 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.039 Okay, So tell us what's happening in the idyllic life 325 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:16.039 of David leg and his wife Alicia. After all of this, 326 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.000 you say, he gets an assignment to go to Hawaii, 327 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.759 He's accepted in the military. Looks like his wife, his 328 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.880 life is right on track. Tell us what's happening behind 329 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.519 the scenes or if there's any cracks to this little veneer. 330 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.279 Well, Alicia is absolutely thrilled. My god, you get to 331 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.880 go to the paradise of Hawaii and live there with 332 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.599 her new husband, and the whole world is going to 333 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:42.720 be glorious. They go to Hawaiian he's assigned to Schofield Barracks. 334 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.279 And I like that part because I love the story 335 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.559 James Jones row from Here to Eternity that was made 336 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.559 into the classic movie and involved with a loser named 337 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.279 robert E. Lee Pruitt played by Montgomery Cliff in the movie, 338 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.799 and so I could see some parallels between Roberty Lee 339 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:05.319 Prewit and David. Anyway, they're living there, they they her hurricane, 340 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.160 and Niki comes through and just rips the island and 341 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.519 tears up the apartment where they live. But that turned 342 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.359 out to be a minor thing compared to the way 343 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.880 their lives started developing. David became an absolute control freak, 344 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.839 not allowing Alicia to have any friends, not allowing her 345 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.039 to go anywhere, not allowing her to use the new 346 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.519 Karri bought, demanding that she cleaned the house in the 347 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:34.319 way he thought thought it could be cleaned. She she 348 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.640 had to vacuum the rug exactly as he thought, with 349 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.599 spacing between the lines as he saw. She became a 350 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:46.799 slave and had no She was horrified that all of 351 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.759 a sudden, her idyllic life turned to a nightmare. 352 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.720 Now, how did she deal with this? At the beginning, 353 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.519 you say that she sees as the dramatic transformation? Did 354 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.920 it have any kind of us said one time, he's 355 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.440 hyper sexual. Actually, what was happening in their in their 356 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:09.400 in their relationship otherwise in and what was her reaction? 357 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.480 What did she do in response to this drastic change 358 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.000 in behavior? 359 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.960 Well, ironically, with David was hyper sexual, very interested in sex. 360 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.559 But just soon after their marriage he completely turned away 361 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:23.039 from sex. She she couldn't understand it. She would just 362 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.559 begg him, please just touch me sometimes, but he was 363 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.799 totally disinterested. He was more interested in his cars and 364 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:35.799 uh and his Hi Fi equipment, his drums. And they 365 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.680 got in financial difficulty right away, of course, because of 366 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.079 Private's pay. It wasn't very big, and he was spending 367 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.319 money hand over fist, and so it was getting rough. 368 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.039 And she didn't understand also that he was carrying on. 369 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.799 He bought her a new computer, but he she didn't 370 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.200 know that he was using that computer to have sexual 371 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.400 contact with women all over the place, including the the 372 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.920 mother of his child from high school days. Now, so 373 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.279 I proceed because the next step is really important. 374 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.519 Yes, go ahead. 375 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.480 One day, David comes home and he says, oh, I 376 00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:12.880 have to go on a special mission in Savilian clothes, 377 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.160 and his buddy's with him, and they're dressed in cities 378 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.720 and I'll be gone several weeks and it's highly secret, 379 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.640 so I can't tell you what it's about, but I'll 380 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.640 be gone, okay. And Alicia's almost relieved because Atlasa's gonna 381 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.160 have some time away from his restrictive control. 382 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:26.960 Wow. 383 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.359 But a few days later, she gets a phone call 384 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.720 from someone in Chicago and says, do you know where 385 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.720 your husband is? Well, of course they do. He's on leave. 386 00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:38.039 He's on a special mission. No, he's here at Chicago 387 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.400 and he's taking my wife away and her child and 388 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.400 I'm going to kill them both. And Alicia is horrified. 389 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.319 What is going on? Well, eventually he finds out that 390 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.680 David is going to Chicago to rescue the mother of 391 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:54.559 his child from high school days and take her away 392 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.960 from her abusive husband. And she's just sick, she's horrified. 393 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.920 And she finally gets in contact with David by phone, 394 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.920 and he suggests that, oh, why don't I just bring 395 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.000 her and the child here in Hawaii and we can 396 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.160 all all four live together. No, no, that's not going to. 397 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:15.279 Work, right, Yeah, So how does how does Alisha respond 398 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.839 to this incredible news? What she do next? 399 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.680 Well, Alicia's she's she doesn't know what to do and 400 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.559 and and David comes back without the wife and the 401 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.039
