Carmen Electra's ex-husband Dave Navarro is back in the headlines after making a documentary regarding his mother's death. He worked on his documentary entitled "Mourning Son" along with the director, Todd Newman. Navarro himself funded the entire project giving him the freedom to do whatever he envisioned. The documentary however isn't focused on his mother's killer, it to focus on domestic violence as per Fox News.
"It really was just a matter of getting in the car, grabbing a couple of cameras and starting, we didn't really have a plan. We didn't know what the scope of the picture would be, and we didn't have any preconceived idea as to how it would turn out, and it wasn't until we got going that we realized there was a clear message-certainly one of domestic violence, certainly surviving trauma, getting through loss, cautionary tales about drug addiction."
Back 1983, Navarro's mother was murdered by her boyfriend, John Riccardi. His mother, Connie Navarro along with her best friend Sue Jory later on found justice after Riccardi was arrested. Dave then did a courageous act by visiting her mother's killer.
30 years after Connie was murdered, Dave went to San Quentin State Prison to confront his mother's killer and regained closure as to what happened. When Dave was asked on what gave him the strength to face his mother's killer, he then answered:
"The artist in me who was invested in this film, wouldn't allow me to not have an ending," he explained. "The other tier is that, after 30 years or so, I felt that there would be some kind of payoff to that. Number one walking through the intensity of the matter really puts the rest of your life into perspective- in terms of what's difficult and what's not difficult, so there was a lesson to be learned there. I think there were some payoffs that I wasn't aware of going into the prison that reveal themselves later. I've had enough life experience to know that was more than likely to be the case."
