SCOTT: I WEEP IN JAIL

I think the delio with Scott and other sociopaths, and our relationship to them is this. During our everyday lives we have to have a certain amount of faith in others otherwise society/business could not function. You have to run on trust because the alternative would mean planning for a much more unlikely event and therefore interfere with your everday activities, feelings, protits etc.

When a lying sociopath comes into our lair. We don't expect it. It's not necessarily bc they are smart or that we are gullible that we are taken in. It's bc we are not wired to be on alert for it. I believe it's an evolutionary advantage type thing. After all only about one percent of the population has sociopathic tendencies. Which does mean that we will likely encounter one or two during our lives and be affected to some degree.

"7 Q. And did the windows that were -- did the windows
8 have coverings on them?
9 A. Some were or some had.

RG,I am back to thinking about the windows.

If those three windows that are now the dining room (where Scott put the mattress) didn't have coverings, Then his big tale about not opening the blinds, drapes, shutters when asked why the neighbor didn't see them open was a rediculus.

Scott: (paraphrased) We kept them closed to keep the cold out.

Geeeeez! The three biggest windows in the house with no coverings. I would say it could get mighty cold in there.

Scott is not to swift if you ask me.

You know, there are men (sorry you men) that 'require' a spotless house, spotless wife, spotless children and an especially well scrubbed self...well you get the idea.

The home is sacrosainct(sp?) his whole personna is shown through the perfection of HIS house and HIS family. He is the narcissist, you know, plus he had to try and keep those OCD demons at bay that throw him off kilter.

But let him get away from the perfection he has created (his face value) and he easily falls prey to his baser instincts.

Maybe he is/was seriously mentally ill and was spiraling(sp?) out of control as the philandering and lying was escalating, causing him to be at odds with himself and more in need of an out.

Maybe like List, it was easier for him to kill his family (and his mother in List's case) than admit his troubles to the world.

Not to even mention all the pop psych labels he could be tagged with:

Peter Pan
Has a Madonna/Whore Complex

Anyway, getting a little carried away there. But he is a very interesting pyschological study. I do hope we get good psychiatrists to write reports about him and what happened to mold his combination of genetics and environment.

EDTA:
Thinking more about the 'shoes off' incident. Yes, it's all your fault...

I want to know if that was the standing policy of home, instigated by Laci, not Scott.

If that was the case then IF Scott is smarter than you and I seem to hink he is, did he do the 'shoes off' thing as a stunt, or an attention grabber, so the the reporters would all remember.

Then Scott could say, 'Laci always makes you take your shoes off. I don't want her coming home and then hearing I let your shoes in here. Yada yada yada....'

Or to actually see if the neighbors prints are on the leash
? Sorry i left that out

Your post #535 - summed up as "Poor ME"!! It's all about Snott don't we know. He's suffering so terribly. (Not bad enough if you ask me.) I hope he's got a whole lot worse comin.

[Queen Jadis]

LOL...I just know this guy is going down. BIG TIME. I have a feeling It's gonna get faaaaaaaaaaar worse for him. It will probably send his parents to an early grave.

[melodie]

Nice list of Snotisms, lol.

[hergus]

I finally got a better aerial photo the other day, see below.

The little room that is sticking out on the courtyard side is smaller than I had imagined.

I wish someone with a talent for putting this info together (interior and exterior photos) would draw us a floorplan.

[Queen Jadis]

a floor plan that would show where the baby's room was the kitchen, spare room is etc? I am not sure that is possible unless you had been inside the house or known someone that had.

[hergus]

LOLOL

You really are channeling(sp?) Scott, aren't you?

[hergus]

Here are two more pages with photos from inside the house. On the second page note where the blackboard with Merry Christmas is in regards to the dining room (to the left) and the LR where he was sitting for his interview.

Gloria Gomez said he went to the kitchen to turn off his phone...
but that area looks like one of the NE photos with white chairs I think, and the dining room in the background. Is the kitchen past those white chairs to the right) and behind the counter?

Someone with an analytical mind should be able to work out at least a floorplan for the public areas of the house, anyone?
Draftsmen, architects, builders?

i used to work in a software that planned retail stores. I am somewhat familiar with the skills needed. However the photos you provide cannot answer where an addtional spare bedroom would be located, the master bedroom or the babie's room. Do you see what i mean? So essentially the floorplan would be incomplete in those areas.

[RGSpincich]

The little room that is sticking out on the courtyard side is smaller than I had imagined.

That's a good thing, it's the little dining area with the mattresses propped up in the windows.

The three bedrooms and two baths are under the large area with the AC unit on the roof. I was glad to see how large that area was in the new picture. In previous pictures it was hard to tell how the bedrooms and baths would fit. There probably are two modest size bedrooms apx. 12 x 12 and perhaps a 10 x 10 baby room. Those are common sizes for California bungalows and would fit with a couple of small bathrooms and not much closet space.

The other section, towards the street, houses the kitchen, small seating area and living room.

Spunky, I think your tour was right on the money.

[hergus]

Sure, that's why I said maybe we could get a floorplan of the 'public' areas. From the aerial photo I believe like someone else said, that the Bedroom's and BR's are in the back.

It's the front set up I was interested in. Here are two more interview pic's I have, in the first picture is that the wooden winerack at the top of the photo that we see in the kitchen photos from the NE?

I think I'll put all my interior shots on this one page later tonight.

Brenda must have dropped some off. :-)

Good analysis. I'm sure we all do come into contact with a Sociopath or two but like you say, we really don't expect it off the top. Besides, most of them look pretty normal or even better than normal. That's what sorta throws people off guard even farther.

[Queen Jadis]

I am not sure how the house is oriented on Covena Ave from the arial shot. I remember seeing a wood fence around the house so it is kind of hard to figure out but i';ll try.

[Devil_Anse]

I just know this guy is going down. BIG TIME.

I fervently hope that you two are 100% right about Scott's getting convicted. I'm still waiting to see what they've got. I guess they'll get the hair into evidence. That'll be a step in the right direction.

I'm also counting on the numerous objects they got out of the bay as being something really significant. And it's still possible that that story is true, about Scott's fingerprint being on the duct tape which was attached to the tarp. That was the tarp that washed up right near where Laci was found. And above all, I'm hoping that Amber can deliver some bombshells straight from Scott's own words.

[fiesti]

Also, you're right: you couldn't get it out of the grout. Even the tile has pocks and fissures in it. If blood were spilled on Saltillo, there'd be no hope of detecting it all yourself and cleaning it up. So I don't know what the bleach is about if they didn't later find any blood.



Just had a thought. A punch to the stomach could cause vomitating and just perhaps caused her water to break----the reasoning behind duct tape on her crotch..That would be the reason for mopping
