Good thinking, DA. But if he was planning to use the golf story, he would have hurt himself with the message he left on Laci's phone, telling her he was in Berkley....

It is interesting that he used both excuses after he got home. A mistake, or a change in alibi plans? Who can figure out how his deranged mind works?

That's an excellent point, pinz.

I think it's safe to say that his plans were somewhat fluid. Or maybe he was going to try and reconcile his lies by saying he went to golf in the morning, and went to Berkeley later. Maybe at the time (shortly after returning home on the 24th) he told the neighbor he'd been golfing that day, he planned to delete his Berkeley message from Laci's cellphone, but maybe things started happening too fast and he didn't get the chance.
