This is the only loose end I see in this case---a cement anchor. If Peterson did the killing, why on earth would he keep one cement anchor? Why not dump them all while he's at it?
People in the midst of a murder/cover up don't always act completely rationally.

He needed one to prove he had made the anchors. The whole reason he tried to use the fishing excuse was because it was a built in alibi. He never imagined the bodies would turn up WHERE HE SAID HE WAS WHEN SHE DISAPPEARED.
Like most murderers, Scott out smarted himself. One thing would have gotten him off scot free. If he had kept his mouth shut to the police. Thie is what provides the most breaks in criminal cases. Suspects lying to the cops. You can't change your story later without providing fodder that can be used to shred your ass in court. He probably broke another cardinal rule, though we will never know for sure. He probably lied to his lawyer. That is another quick way to find yourself led to the gallows.

I don't think Peterson is the sharpest knife in the drawer. What expectant father would leave his very pregnant wife to go fishing on Christmas Eve. I'm a dedicated hunter and fisherman, but there are limits.
