So, originally the primary focus was for Victoria Winters to find out who her parents are.
But, there's little 'dribs & drabs', which make me wonder:
It's mentioned David is 9 years old. It's mentioned that Laura and Burke used to 'go around together'. It's mentioned that there was an automobile accident, for which Burke received a 5-10 year sentence. It's also mentioned, that when Burke got arrested, Laura left him and immediately got with Roger.
David.....David....maybe merely psychotic, not patricidal psychotic.....

during the Laura plot it was indeed suggested that David was in fact Burke's, and not Roger's, son. Roger himself threw the question at Laura at one point.
however the idea was abandoned with the conclusion of the storyline and was never picked up again. many fans have only seen the show with the arrival of Barnabas during the second year and are thus unaware David's true paternity was ever in question.
