I'm having loads of trouble getting my posts through tonight. I'll keep trying to get this one through, but after that, it may not be worth it. Say, is tomorrow (today) Vel's birthday?

The way I understood this thing with Schmidt, is that some nameless man sold him the business. Along with that sale, he purchased all contracts and agreements. Included was Amber's agreement. So maybe they should be sueing the seller of the business if she had some verbal agreement with him. The seller could have pulled Amber's agreement and destroyed it at the time of the sale, I suppose, or given it to Amber, but he didn't.

So am I!! If it keeps up this slow, I'm gonna log out till tomorrow morning. *darn*

You have to wait for Diver Dave's report!

[Lucy Lake]

I'm waiting for Diver Dave's report, also!

[Diver Dave]

Gloria Gomez, reporterette from KOVR13, reports that investigators have found red paint on Peterson's boat. The suggestion is that the paint was transferred to the boat when Scaught tied the boat to bouy # 4 in the bay.

Coast Guardsman interviewed stated that the water at bouy #4 is thirty feet deep and the water can get quite rough at that location.

Suggestion is also made that Scaught tied up to the boat to stabalize the boat while dumping the body.

Divers have returned to bouy # 4 repeatedly throughout the course of the investigation

Gomez reported that it is unknown to her if the paint on the boat and the bouy are a match, but given the fact that the divers continue to dive around bouy 4 suggests that possibility.

From Modesto, this is your embedded reporter, dd, returning you to your regular programming.

I'm having some trouble with slowness on this computer. Can't tell if it's my computer or the site.

The KOVR anchors, led the story with the following statement, "Explosive evidence that could send Scot Peterson to Death Row.

As an aside, I've got an aquaintance that has been installing a bunch of communications equipment down at the courthouse for all the media who will be converging on our fair city over the next few days.

[Devil_Anse]

Thanks!!! We had been hearing something about red paint, but not enough details to make sense of it! Looks like it's "breaking"--with more details coming out! So they even gave the number of the buoy??

Q."Why would your boat have hit the buoy, Mr. Peterson? Haven't you ever operated a motorized skiff before?"

A."Yes, OF COURSE I have!! I've been doing it since I was a little boy! I'm an expert! My father taught me all about boating... oh... wait.............................um, well, I'm not that good a boater, yeah, I just crash into stuff all the time... and, uh, I, uh, did I tell you that I was always cutting my hands all the time, too?"

[Devil_Anse]

I don't suppose he could, um, hook up a few extra feeds... about 3000 miles away.......?

[Sandylapper]

You are a treasure, and quite valuable to our threads, DD! Thanks so much, and we'll be counting on you next week!

[Devil_Anse]

I'm assuming that Scott went out there and dumped the body in the dark of night.

Those buoys, some of them have little lamps on them, don't they?

[Diver Dave]

Those buoys, some of them have little lamps on them, don't they?

I do believe most all those bouys have lights for marking the channel as well as bells on some. Lots of seagull poop, too. :)

When it got all slow, I was just gonna post to you that I must've been wrong when I thought they disputed that it was really Amber's signature. From the little that has been said of the details, I now gather that Amber's side is saying it wasn't a release she signed, but just a "data sheet", which would just be her giving information--would not be a release or contract.

And if Amber did do a valid contract with that photographer, who later sold his business, wonder if Amber's agreement with HIM is transferable to someone else? Amber's team could argue that whatever contract she may have signed with the photographer, that the present owners of his business don't have privity of contract as to her contract with the photog.

I mean, if I sign a contract with you, does that mean you can just sell it to whomever you wish, and I am obligated to THEM under the contract? I don't think so!

[Canadian Outrage]

I think he did this in the middle of the night also.!! And yes, I had heard about the red paint on his boat. I mentioned it the other day but I wasn't sure what it came from. Guess there probably isn't too much question that his Kingfisher Boat WAS in the Bay.

[Diver Dave]

You are a treasure...

Thanks. That's what Mrs.dd says all the time and I know better than to argue with her. :)

[Devil_Anse]

...unless, of course, the contract SPECIFIED that it could be assigned by the photographer to someone else.

How about Amber's side of the contract? In a contract, each side is obligated to do something for the other. Does this mean that Amber could go get her friend Helen Thomas, and say, "Here, I've decided to sell my part of this contract to Helen here, so SHE'LL be the one posing for you"? (Boy, that photographer suddenly wouldn't be getting his money's worth!)

[Devil_Anse]

And back in January, there were heated discussions as to how he could push a large bundle out of that small boat w/o tipping the boat over. Now we may have the answer--he used the buoy for partial support?

She kinda looks like Max Headroom only with longer hair.

Eeeeek!

[Canadian Outrage]

Exactly!!
