SCOTT: I WEEP IN JAIL

So maybe he planned to do it around New Year's or some other time between Xmas and then. I still think something came up suddenly and he had to move his time table up. Otherwise why tell Amy he was golfing and offer to get that basket only to say later that he'd planned *ahead* to go fishing that day? Makes no sense.

Good night, everyone! Amber on Tuesday, or maybe, just maybe, tomorrow afternoon--though this judge seems to keep banker's hours!

[An American In Dairyland]

Night all!

[Spunky]

Velveeta, doesn't your screen door have a closer on it where if you slide the little thingy over it holds it open? (Mine does)

Having to take it off the hinges would be the pits.

[Sandylapper]

Go ahead and sleep like Rip Van Winkle. It's gonna be awhile.

[fiesti]

I'm still hoping that someone will look into those Arizona allegations one day.

Who knows maybe they have but remember Scott was not a suspect in Lac's dissappearance..Maybe get him 1 crime at a time
I sure hope we hear something else tomorrow besides DNA.

[fiesti]

LOL CO..From your pic you look more like the angel on top

[Sandylapper]

Aarrghh! When looking at that pic, Spunky, the house looks like it covers a acre! Of course, we're talking CA here, but I thought you said the house was originally small.

So, with the pool in the rear, Covena Ave. is to the far right of the pool. So, if I was driving looking for Laci's house, I wouldn't be looking for a house with a front like they show us on TV all the time. That pic is a view of one end of the house. Now, do I get it?

[Sandylapper]

LOL! CO, I'm just trying to figure out what the house would look like from the front, if driving down/up Covena Ave.

[Queen Jadis]

I am assuming the gate that scott would open (the shot we have seen on tv) is the view from Covena Ave. If this is correct. As far as I can tell from all the photos I've looked at today, the house is shaped like a capital L turned upside down with the long side being parallel to the street, and the tip of the short side of the L being closest to Covena Ave. Thoughts anyone?

[Queen Jadis]

I think he thought that during the holidays with perhaps a skeleton crew of law enforcement, that this missing person case would just "go away".

Do you think he was smart enough for that thought? My gut feeling agrees with the pushing of the date closer as a result of something unexpected. Perhaps an argument. I often ponder how long he had been planning this. Was it after he met Amber? I tend to think so, bc why would you WAIT till late term pregnany to knock your wife off. It would be easier on every level to do it early on in the pregnancy. Thoughts?

[Sandylapper]

That call that was made on Dec 23rd.

I think so, too, but why, (if she did) did she call SP at home? I understood that he never gave him his home number. She had hired a detective on Dec. 11th to check out his marital status. If the detective got back to her before the 23rd, she knew Scott was married. Why would she call him at his home knowing he was a married man, and run the risk of having his wife answer? The 400+ page court filed document with the info about whatever phone calls were made is only available for a fee.

[Queen Jadis]

You're right. If he knew he was going "fishing/murdering" that day the LAST thing he would want to do would be to commit to an errand for Laci's sister. Right away her attention would be drawn to THAT day...and she would be annoyed at him for not completing the errand as promised. As I posted earlier I am very curious as to HOW LONG he had been planning this. If it is true that he "upped" the insurance I would suspect that would be a point at which a decision had been made. I guess as more comes out we will find out.

[Queen Jadis]

She might have been emotional and angry at finding out he was married and made the call impulsively. It's been done before...many a time.

[Sandylapper]

After relooking once more at the pic in #570, I can see the car in the driveway going toward a carport. And, after rethinking it again, I believe the lot was deep but not too wide, so the house was built lenthwise to the lot vs. widthwise. If that's not it, I give up.

[Queen Jadis]

so the longest length of the house was NOT parallel to Covena?

[Sandylapper]

Hey Queen! We haven't talked in ages! Good to see ya! No, I think the driveway enters/exits Covena, which would not equate the longest length of the house.

[Queen Jadis]

Hi Sandylapper!
Ok thanks so much i think i am getting it. The carport was closest to covena avenue. The only thing i dont understand is the fence at the front of the house in that arial photo i dont see it.

[Sandylapper]

I don't see it either, and it's been difficult for me to understand how the house was situated in relation to Covena, seeing the small, narrow front so often.

Anyway, time to give it up for tonight. See ya tomorrow!

[Queen Jadis]

THE GARAGE HAD BEEN CONVERTED INTO A FAMILY ROOM? ok will have to rethink this. See you later sandylapper.

The Petersons bought the three-bedroom, two-bath house in October 2000 for $177,000, according to the Stanislaus County Recorder's Office. Records indicate that the couple refinanced the house in February 2002.

Wallace said the home is in an excellent location, in the La Loma neighborhood.

The Petersons' home was built in 1949. Wallace said he has been inside, and he called it very desirable: "It's an attractive house. The previous owner had gone through it. The kitchen had been updated. The garage had been converted into a family room, which is pretty common in that neighborhood."

In Modesto's appreciating real estate market, the home's value has gone up about $100,000 in less than three years, according to Wallace.

"Without the stigma, probably $275,000, plus or minus $5,000," Wallace said about the listing price for the house.
