Jason Kovach said he went along as a backup of sorts, carrying a kid’s aluminum baseball bat as he accompanied a work buddy on a weird, late-night errand about 11 p.m. in September 2016.
His coworker was going through a heated divorce and had gotten an odd call from a stranger purporting to have evidence that could be used against him in family court. The caller identified himself as a private investigator, and said he’d leave a packet containing the information tacked to a pole along a very dark dirt road off Avenida Soledad in Carlsbad.
The coworker, Greg Mulvihill, asked Kovach, who lived in the same San Marcos apartment complex, to tag along as he went to check it out.
VISTA
The aunt of Carlsbad woman accused in a failed murder-for-hire plot testified in a Vista courtroom Monday that her niece had once asked if she knew someone who would scare or kill her estranged husband.
The alleged conversation, perhaps a year or so before the niece’s husband was shot by a sniper, began when the niece, Diana Lovejoy, told her aunt how frightened she was of her husband, and that she suspected he was abusing their son.
“She said ‘Aunt Diana, do you know anyone who could do that, either scare him or kill him?’” Diana Clark said.
which was confusing to me, because i knew i was looking at a gun but it felt like somebody hit me in the back. reporter: in the confusion, greg said that he or jason yelled run or possibly gun. and while we were running i heard six more rapid gunshots. sgloo the prosecution argued that diana paid weldon mcdavid to kill greg that night and it seemed that weldon was not the only one that diana approached with the goal in mind. there was an unlikely witness against diana, a woman who reluctantly share herd story wi shared her stour wiry with prosecutors. she said, promise to not tell my mom or sister. can you promise me that? and i said yes. reporter: then, aunt diana testified that on christmas day, 2015, her niece, asked her this. she said, can you help me
$120,000. the money was due three weeks after the shooting. however, it would go to the estate and come back to ms. lovejoy. the prosecutor said no doubt, diana lovejoy and weldon mcdavid had planned to kill greg mulleville. they did not plan for another person and they did not plan for a bright light to light weldon mcdavid on his belly. let s see what you think. hear what weldon and diana had to say when we visited them in jail. coming up: a defendant s biggest regret. not what you might think. if i could only take back one thing, i would take that. and drama in court. when dateline continues ntinue fast. only thermacare ultra pain relieving cream
years to life in prison and diana, 26-life. both have appealed their convictions. did you think that diana could get wrapped up in a story like this? no, it s my worse nightmare. greg has full custody of her son. i have actually had a lot of heart to hearts with greg, and i do genuinely think he is a sweet, nicedeservthis. wedlon s wife leah is a single parent too. he should not number prison. he should be home. weldon is a beautiful person that should, my son should be able to have that in his life. weldon mcdavid, the man who said he just wanted to help. who once empowered a woman caught in an abusive marriage. and now, the fallen hero, contemplating life behind bars. perhaps, he sums it up best. there s no winners here. you know, there s no winners at
