Their wedding preparation and ceremony were the subject of the MTV reality television series 'Til Death Do Us Part. On July 17, 2006, Dave and Carmen announced they were separated, Carmen filed for divorce on August 8, 2006. The divorce was finalized in early 2007.

The Murder of Dave's Mother

Dave's mother, Connie Navarro and aunt, Susan Jory, were murdered on March 3, 1983 by John Riccardi, an ex-boyfriend of Connie's, after he broke into her apartment. Riccardi went on the run and remained a fugitive for nearly eight years until he was finally captured in Houston, TX on January 4, 1991. Riccardi's capture came after the third time the case was profiled by the Fox television series America's Most Wanted. [1]

Dave was supposed to be staying with his mother the day she was murdered, but instead stayed with his father. Dave believes he too would have been murdered had he stayed with his mother that night. John Riccardi was finally put on trial for the double murder in 1994. Riccardi was found guilty and sentenced to death. He is currently awaiting his execution in San Quentin State Penitentiary in California. Dave was a witness at both the 1994 trial and a 1999 appeal. Dave is extremely grateful to AMW and the assistance they provided in brining his mother's killer to justice. [2]
