In this gripping episode, I delve into the dark and twisted case of David Meza, an adult film actor whose life took a deadly turn when he brutally stabbed his wealthy lover, Jake Merendino.

At the center of this shocking story is a motive steeped in greed: the desire to inherit Jake's impressive $3 million estate and luxurious oceanfront condo. But that's not all—David was also living a double life with a pregnant girlfriend, adding layers of betrayal and intrigue to this tragic tale. Join me as I explore the details of the crime, the investigation that followed, and the complex web of relationships that led to this shocking act of violence.
